Victory VLR .166 Hunting Arrow Shafts – 12 Pack

Victory VLR .166 Hunting Arrow Shafts are premium micro-diameter carbon hunting shafts engineered for bowhunters who demand speed, long-range accuracy, penetration and exceptional flight efficiency. The ultra-slim .166" platform minimizes the amount of shaft exposed to crosswinds, helping reduce wind drift while maintaining a flat trajectory and excellent downrange performance.

The VLR combines MaxxKe 1.5K carbon weave technology with a 90° carbon weave pattern, 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 250, 300, 350 or 400 spine to build a precision hunting arrow around your bow and hunting requirements.

Arrow Grades & Spine Specifications

Victory VLR shafts are available in three precision grades and four spine options. Choose your Victory grade based on the desired straightness tolerance, then select the appropriate spine for your bow and finished hunting-arrow setup.

Victory Grade Straightness
Elite / V1 ±.001"
Gamer / V3 ±.003"
Sport / V6 ±.006"

Spine GPI Full Shaft Length Shaft ID Shaft OD
250 10.5 31" .166" .248"
300 9.0 31" .166" .238"
350 8.2 31" .166" .233"
400 7.7 31" .166" .229"

Elite / V1 – ±.001"

Elite / V1 provides the tightest straightness tolerance available for the VLR at ±.001", making it the highest-precision grade offered in this shaft.

Gamer / V3 – ±.003"

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

Sport / V6 – ±.006"

Sport / V6 provides a ±.006" straightness tolerance while retaining the VLR's core micro-diameter construction, MaxxKe technology, spine alignment and other performance features.

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


.166 Micro-Diameter Hunting Performance

The VLR uses Victory's .166" micro-diameter platform to reduce the shaft profile exposed to crosswinds. Less surface area can help reduce wind deflection, an important advantage when shooting at longer distances or hunting in changing wind conditions.

The narrow shaft diameter is also designed around penetration. By reducing the diameter of the shaft following the broadhead through the target, the VLR provides a highly efficient platform for penetration-focused hunting-arrow builds.


MaxxKe 1.5K Carbon Weave Technology

The VLR incorporates Victory's advanced 1.5K MaxxKe carbon weave technology, engineered to reduce torque, promote faster recovery of arrow flight and provide tighter uniform spine consistency.

By controlling torsional deflection as the shaft leaves the bow, the VLR is designed to stabilize quickly and produce efficient downrange flight.


90° Carbon Weave Construction

The VLR features a distinctive 90° carbon weave pattern as part of its advanced carbon construction.

The 90° carbon weave works with the VLR's MaxxKe construction to create a shaft engineered around speed, durability, recovery and long-range accuracy.


Built for Flat Trajectory & Long-Range Accuracy

The VLR is designed for hunters who want a lightweight, high-performance micro-diameter arrow capable of maintaining a flat trajectory and consistent flight at extended hunting distances.

Its combination of micro-diameter aerodynamics and advanced 1.5K carbon construction is designed to produce high speed while allowing the shaft to recover rapidly after launch.

That makes the VLR particularly well suited to western hunting, mountain hunting and other situations where longer shots and unpredictable wind can become important factors.


50-Grain SHOK TL Aluminum Inserts Included

Each VLR 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 component concentricity while providing a durable connection between the micro-diameter carbon shaft and broadhead.


8-Grain IP4 .166 Nocks Included

Each VLR shaft also includes an 8-grain IP4 .166 nock designed for Victory's micro-diameter shaft platform.

With the SHOK TL inserts and IP4 nocks supplied with the dozen, you receive the primary front and rear shaft components needed 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 the VLR to be used with a wide selection of conventional hunting broadheads.

The included 50-grain aluminum version provides a versatile starting point, while optional heavier SHOK TL components allow hunters to increase front-end weight and adjust the finished arrow's FOC.


Digitally Spine Aligned

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

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


Weight Matched to ±0.5 Grains

Each dozen VLR shafts is weight matched to ±0.5 grains.

Closely matched shaft weights help reduce 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 VLR shaft surface.

The slick coating is designed to improve penetration while also making arrows easier to remove from targets during practice, sight-in and tuning sessions.


Build the Hunting Arrow You Want

Because these VLR shafts are supplied unfletched, you can build the finished arrow around your bow and hunting requirements rather than accepting a predetermined factory configuration.

Choose between Elite / V1, Gamer / V3 and Sport / V6, then select from 250, 300, 350 or 400 spine. From there, determine your finished shaft length, vane configuration, broadhead and front-end component weight.

The VLR's GPI range also gives arrow builders room to balance finished arrow weight, trajectory, speed and FOC for their particular hunting application.


Optional VLR Components

Victory offers additional SHOK TL components for bowhunters who want 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.
