Victory VAP TKO .166 Hunting Arrow Shafts – 12 Pack

Victory VAP TKO .166 Hunting Arrow Shafts are premium micro-diameter carbon hunting shafts engineered for exceptional long-range accuracy, penetration and retained kinetic energy. The ultra-slim .166" platform reduces the amount of shaft exposed to crosswinds while providing the penetration advantages serious bowhunters look for in a micro-diameter hunting arrow.

The VAP TKO combines MaxxKe 3K carbon weave technology with a 45° carbon weave, digital spine alignment, precision weight matching and Victory's ICE nano-ceramic coating. Choose from Elite / V1, Gamer / V3 or Sport / V6 straightness grades and 175, 235, 300, 350, 400 or 500 spine to build the VAP TKO around your bow and hunting setup.

Arrow Grades & Spine Specifications

Victory VAP TKO shafts are available in multiple precision grades and spine options. Choose your Victory grade based on the desired straightness tolerance, then select the appropriate spine for your bow and finished arrow setup.

Elite / V1 – ±.001"

Elite / V1 provides the tightest straightness tolerance of the available VAP TKO grades at ±.001", making it the highest-precision grade offered in this product.

Gamer / V3 – ±.003"

Gamer / V3 has a straightness tolerance of ±.003", providing an intermediate precision option between Elite / V1 and Sport / V6.

Sport / V6 – ±.006"

Sport / V6 has a straightness tolerance of ±.006" while retaining the core VAP TKO carbon construction and performance technologies.

Always select arrow spine according to your complete bow and arrow setup. Bow speed, draw weight, finished shaft length, point or broadhead weight, insert weight and other components can affect proper spine selection.

.166 Micro-Diameter Hunting Performance

The VAP TKO uses Victory's .166" micro-diameter platform, providing an extremely narrow shaft profile designed for speed, penetration and reduced wind deflection.

The smaller shaft profile exposes less surface area to crosswinds, which can be particularly valuable during longer shots and unpredictable hunting conditions. The micro-diameter construction also reduces the amount of shaft material that must pass through the target after impact.

For bowhunters looking for Victory's premium micro-diameter hunting platform, the VAP TKO combines the aerodynamic advantages of the .166" shaft with TKO carbon technology.

MaxxKe 3K Carbon Weave Technology

Victory's MaxxKe Technology incorporates an advanced 3K carbon weave engineered for reduced torque, faster recovery of arrow flight and tighter uniform spine consistency.

The VAP TKO uses a distinctive 45° carbon weave pattern. By reducing torsional deflection as the shaft leaves the bow, the design helps the arrow stabilize more quickly while retaining energy downrange.

Built for Long-Range Hunting

The VAP TKO is engineered around the demands of long-range bowhunting. Micro-diameter construction reduces exposure to crosswinds, while the MaxxKe carbon structure is designed to minimize torsional movement and promote faster stabilization after launch.

The combination of aerodynamic efficiency, shaft weight, carbon construction and front-end component options gives hunters a versatile foundation for building high-performance arrows for demanding hunting conditions.

Designed for Retained Kinetic Energy

Victory designed the VAP TKO to reduce the torsional deflection associated with shaft twisting during launch. Faster shaft stabilization helps the arrow maintain efficient flight and retain kinetic energy downrange.

This makes the VAP TKO particularly attractive to bowhunters building arrows for longer hunting distances where wind resistance, stability and retained energy become increasingly important.

50-Grain SHOK TL Aluminum Inserts Included

Each dozen includes 50-grain SHOK TL aluminum inserts manufactured from 7075 aluminum alloy.

The SHOK Taper Lock system incorporates an impact-protection sleeve around the front of the carbon shaft to help strengthen the arrow tip against fracturing and increase impact resilience.

Taper-lock machining is designed to improve strength and component concentricity while giving bowhunters a durable front-end system for their micro-diameter hunting arrows.

8-Grain IP .166 Nocks Included

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

With both 50-grain SHOK TL aluminum inserts and 8-grain IP nocks included, the dozen provides the primary front and rear shaft components required before cutting, assembling and fletching your custom hunting arrows.

SHOK TL Broadhead Adaptor

The SHOK TL system accepts standard 5/16" broadheads with an 8-32 thread, allowing hunters to continue using a broad selection of conventional hunting broadheads with the VAP TKO platform.

The included 50-grain aluminum version provides a versatile starting point, while heavier SHOK TL component options can be used to increase front-end weight and FOC when desired.

Digitally Spine Aligned

Every VAP TKO shaft is digitally spine aligned to support increased accuracy and shot-to-shot consistency.

Consistent spine orientation helps reduce shaft-to-shaft variation and provides a more uniform starting point when building, tuning and broadhead testing a matched set of hunting arrows.

Weight Matched to ±0.5 Grains

Each dozen VAP TKO shafts is weight matched to ±0.5 grains.

Closely matched shaft weights help minimize unnecessary variation throughout the dozen and provide a consistent foundation for finished arrow weight, trajectory and grouping.

ICE Nano-Ceramic Coating

Victory applies its ICE nano-ceramic coating to the VAP TKO shaft surface.

The advanced coating creates a slick exterior designed to improve penetration while also making arrows easier to remove from targets during practice and tuning sessions.

Build the Hunting Arrow You Want

Because these VAP TKO shafts are supplied unfletched, you can build the finished arrow around your bow, hunting style and desired specifications rather than accepting a predetermined factory configuration.

Choose between Elite / V1, Gamer / V3 and Sport / V6, then select from 175, 235, 300, 350, 400 or 500 spine. From there, determine your finished shaft length, vane configuration, broadhead and front-end component weight.

The broad spine range also makes the VAP TKO suitable for everything from lighter hunting setups to extremely high-draw-weight bows requiring the exceptionally stiff 175 or 235 spine options.

Optional VAP TKO Components

Victory offers heavier SHOK TL components for bowhunters looking to further customize finished arrow weight and FOC:

• 75-grain SHOK TL stainless-steel/aluminum insert
• 95-grain SHOK TL stainless-steel insert

These optional components are not included with this 12-pack unless otherwise specified.
