New Arrow POI

Skyhawk · 09-30-2007, 08:43 AM

I just got a dozen new Victory VForce V1 arrows. They all shoot about 3" lower than my other Beamon/CX/GT arrows that have a mix of blazers and vanes. What's up with this? The only difference is that the new arrows have a camo finish and are 1/2 " shorter. Any ideas? Thanks.

Are the new arrows heavier than the old ones? When I went from the ST Excels to the CE Terminators, I had to use the 30 yard pin for the 20 yard target with the Terminators.

Check the weight of your old arrows and the new ones.

You can't expect 2 different arrow makes to shoot the same, too many variables

Is the diameter the same? That is usually why 2 arrows impact differently up and down.

I checked the diameter and it was the same as my other arrows. I did shoot with an 85gr field tip vice my normal 100 and the POI improved quite a bit. Again, all my variety of other arrows have the same POI. I'm just surprised that these shorter new ones came in that much heavier. Thanks for the help with this.

Where they shoot in relation to your other arrow brands is not very important. What is important, is that they are properly tuned to fly correctly out of your setup. I would be far more concerned with perfecting dynamic spine and optimizing FOC. Just putting on a lighter tip to get them grouping with other brands is not the best way to tune your arrows.
