I shoot Victory vip tko 350s with the stock 50 grain outsert with 250 grain points.
Being that I been shooting Simmons Safaris and have plenty of them, I decided to try to build an arrow similar to the above which cones in a 575 taw.
Safaris are 205 grains so I had to make up 50 grains from the go.
I purchased Gold tip traditional 600 spine inserts which in my case fit i.d and o.d.
I cut pieces of 1916 shaft and cut the threaded section off of screws for 50 grains needed.
I put the shaft pieces in my drill and beveled the end that goes on first using a file.
I lightly sanded the portion of my carbon until it would start to slide on.
I then installed the insert without glue and with very light heat using a torch I slipped the footing on until even with insert. It takes very LITTLE heat for sleeve to expand. You don’t need to get it too hot.
I tried them in the yard and the fly very well.
Tomorrow I am going to a shoot and will know for sure.
I also feel these will hold up even better than stock and some other options.
These arrows weigh the same with a 200 on one and 250 on the other.
