Arrow Grades & Spine Specifications

Victory VAP SS shafts are available in three precision grades. Choose your preferred straightness grade and then select the appropriate spine for your bow and finished hunting-arrow configuration.

Proper arrow spine depends on your complete bow and arrow configuration, including draw weight, draw length, bow speed, finished shaft length, broadhead or point weight and component weight.

Elite / V1 – ±.001"

Elite / V1 provides the tightest straightness tolerance in the VAP SS lineup at ±.001". It is the premium grade for bowhunters and custom arrow builders looking to minimize shaft-to-shaft straightness variation.

V1 retains the VAP SS hybrid construction, MaxxKe technology, digital spine alignment, matched-weight specification, ICE coating and SHOK TL component system.

Gamer / V3 – ±.003"

Gamer / V3 provides a ±.003" straightness tolerance while retaining the core technologies of the VAP SS platform.

It provides an excellent balance between precision and value for custom hunting-arrow builds using Victory's hybrid carbon and stainless-steel technology.

Sport / V6 – ±.006"

Sport / V6 provides a ±.006" straightness tolerance while retaining the VAP SS micro-diameter platform and core performance technologies.

It provides an accessible way to build custom arrows around the VAP SS platform while maintaining MaxxKe technology, digital spine alignment and ICE coating.

Hybrid Carbon & Stainless-Steel Construction

The defining feature of the VAP SS is its hybrid carbon and stainless-steel construction. Stainless-steel layers are incorporated into the carbon structure to create a technologically advanced micro-diameter hunting shaft.

This construction is engineered to combine the performance characteristics of Victory's carbon-arrow technology with additional durability and momentum characteristics for demanding hunting applications.

The result is a premium hunting-arrow platform designed for bowhunters who place a high priority on penetration, front-end performance and durability.

3K MaxxKe Carbon Weave Technology

The VAP SS incorporates Victory's advanced 3K MaxxKe carbon weave technology.

The MaxxKe construction is designed to reduce unwanted torque and torsional movement during launch, allowing the arrow shaft to recover more quickly after leaving the bow.

Faster recovery and uniform spine characteristics provide a strong foundation for accurate, consistent hunting-arrow builds.

90° Carbon Weave Architecture

The VAP SS incorporates a 90° carbon weave architecture as part of its hybrid shaft construction.

This is an important distinction within Victory's premium micro-diameter hunting-arrow lineup and helps differentiate the VAP SS from other VAP platforms.

.166 Micro-Diameter Hunting Performance

The VAP SS uses Victory's proven .166" micro-diameter platform. The narrow profile presents less surface area to crosswinds than larger-diameter arrows, helping reduce wind deflection as shooting distance increases.

The micro-diameter profile also follows closely behind the broadhead, creating a streamlined hunting-arrow platform designed around efficient penetration.

This makes the VAP SS particularly attractive for western hunting, mountain hunting and other situations where wind, distance and penetration can all influence arrow performance.

Designed for Penetration

The VAP SS combines its narrow .166" profile, hybrid shaft construction and SHOK TL front-end component system to create a hunting-arrow platform engineered around penetration.

The shaft's small diameter minimizes the amount of arrow surface following behind the broadhead, while the included SHOK TL component provides a durable connection at the front of the shaft.

High-FOC Hunting Arrow Potential

The VAP SS provides considerable flexibility for bowhunters building a high front-of-centre, or FOC, hunting-arrow configuration.

The included 50-grain SHOK TL aluminum insert adds meaningful front-end mass, while optional heavier SHOK TL components allow additional weight to be concentrated toward the front of the arrow.

This gives custom arrow builders the ability to balance total finished arrow weight, FOC, trajectory, broadhead choice and penetration characteristics around their individual bow and hunting requirements.

50-Grain SHOK TL Aluminum Inserts Included

Each VAP SS shaft includes a 50-grain SHOK TL aluminum insert manufactured from 7075 aluminum alloy.

The SHOK Taper Lock system incorporates an impact-protection sleeve around the front of the carbon shaft, helping strengthen the arrow tip and increase impact resilience and durability.

Taper-lock machining is designed to improve strength and concentricity while creating a secure interface between the micro-diameter shaft and broadhead.

SHOK TL Broadhead Adaptor

The SHOK TL adaptor accepts standard 5/16" broadheads with an 8-32 thread, allowing custom VAP SS builds to use a broad range of conventional hunting broadheads.

The included 50-grain aluminum component provides a versatile starting point, while optional heavier SHOK TL components allow additional front-end weight to be added when desired.

8-Grain IP .166 Nocks Included

Each VAP SS shaft includes an 8-grain IP .166 nock designed for Victory's micro-diameter arrow platform.

The lightweight nock complements the narrow .166" shaft and provides the rear component required to begin building a complete hunting arrow.

Build Your Hunting Arrows Your Way

This VAP SS 12-pack contains unfletched arrow shafts, giving custom arrow builders complete control over the finished hunting-arrow configuration.

Choose your preferred finished shaft length, vane model, vane size, vane colour, three- or four-fletch configuration, offset or helical orientation and broadhead setup.

This makes the VAP SS 12-pack an excellent option for serious bowhunters who prefer to build, tune and match their own hunting arrows rather than use a fixed factory-fletched configuration.

Digitally Spine Aligned

Every VAP SS shaft is digitally spine aligned to promote increased accuracy and shot-to-shot consistency.

Consistent spine orientation provides arrow builders with a more uniform starting point when cutting, fletching, assembling and tuning a complete dozen of hunting arrows.

Weight Matched to ±0.5 Grains

Victory weight matches each dozen VAP SS shafts to approximately ±0.5 grains.

Closely matched shaft weights help minimize unnecessary arrow-to-arrow variation and provide a consistent foundation for building a matched hunting-arrow set.

ICE Nano-Ceramic Coating

The VAP SS features Victory's ICE nano-ceramic coating, creating a slick exterior surface on the shaft.

The coating is designed to improve penetration while also helping arrows pull more easily from targets during practice, sight-in and tuning sessions.

Optional VAP SS Components

• SHOK TL Stainless-Steel/Aluminum Insert: 75 Grain
• SHOK TL Stainless-Steel Insert: 95 Grain

These optional components provide additional front-end mass for bowhunters looking to increase total finished arrow weight or FOC.

Optional components are sold separately and are not included with this 12-pack.
