The Valkyrie system has out preformed all others by far on .166 arrows for me. Definitely worth checking out.
If your trying out the tac vanes, and are going to the long distance stuff, I would highly reccomend trying out the tiny tac vanes the shield cut 1.75” in a 4 fletch 2degree helical. That stabilized a 700+ grain standard diameter arrow with a 3-1 broadhead for me. I think the smaller vanes would lend an advantage at the tac shoot! Good luck!
I still shoot Easton full metal jackets. 340 spine. 28inch draw. 60 pounds. My arrow is 460 grains. They fly great and pack a punch.
I'm also shooting 60lbs with a 27" draw. What bow are you shooting and what speed are you getting?
Fart noise
Super cool review I originally built the .003s with the titanium half out just finished a set of 300s match grades with the 65 grain ethics components. Which is the insert and sleeve and you are right they are laser straight. The aluminum half thought you were showing in your review is a victory half out from before they switched to the taper lock the aluminum Easton one looks just like the titanium one but black. I used my titanium halfouts in a set of full metal jacket deep six injections that I got on sale instead of using the hit insert also.
I've been using the 5 mm axis for a year in target and 3D; I like them because they are unexpensive and durable, but they are heavy and I'm planing to move towards the Hexx. The new 4 mm axis with lighter gpi seems interesting as long as they remain less expensive than the target alternatives. My problem with them would be the outserts: outserts are terrible for practicing against targets. I think that I'll stay with the Hexx...
I use gold tip tip grip glue for all of my arrows. Eastons, Victory, Black Eagle, and Gold Tips all work good. They are solid and are a fast set glue.
70lbs 340 spine Easton powerflights can’t go wrong . Form a great group also . Very accurate in flight . Hits hard 🏹
Iron will components. And these would be lethal AF
Thinking of pairing these axis 4mm with the Iron Will Aron Snyder broadheads.
I recommend the firenock outserts.. I just made up a hole dozen of the 250 spines.. they fly awesome from my bow. I've been waiting for these to come out for so long lol. The outter diameter is a lot less than the injections too..
Nice review, I shoot a 300 spine victory vap with a 75 gr outsert and 100 gr annihilator. It weighsout at about 448 gr and my bow loves it. I might try a half dozen of Easton for the heck of it see what the difference is
Easton really dropped the ball by removing the DeepSix carbon injection and putting these new Axis 4mm on the market with a big GPI difference. Yeah it's cool they are thinking about the trendy stuff of high FOC, but they did not thought that through. For example, if you want to use the DeepSix inserts and want a heavy arrow there's literally one company that makes components for that goal (Iron Will, great product but expensive as well). The new half outs are by far inferior to any other halfout for the 0.166 ID, the best I have found is the DaySix.
Looks like they are buying the outserts from Victory. They look just like the outserts from my old Victory vaps, atleast the black one you showed. Im shooting the vap SS with the 50 grain outserts which have been amazing. I use the AAE Max Impact glue with great results, havent had one pull out even shooting into bag targets which as you probably know sucks when shooting and pulling out arrows with outserts lol
I'm loving the Victory arrows. Right now I am running the RIP TKO's. I get a good FOC and they shoot so well for me.
Thanks for the update Kellen.
I’m transitioning from FMJ’s to Axis for hunting this Fall and will give the 4mm with outserts a try. Although the FMJ’s are great arrows, they bend easily. On another note, shooting Black Eagle P23’s and P26’s for 3D this Spring and have been very pleased with their performance.
How much would a dozen arrows set up how yours are cost?
I'm looking at getting a new arrow set up this year. Wayne and I talked a lot about the broad heads he is using and I think they would be epic with those arrows. My previous set up was fmj with 100 grain heads that you guys built for me 5 years ago, I've either broke or lost most of them. Hence me needing new arrows while going with a lighter arrow set up but I want to add a little more f.o.c. to my setup like you have these built like.
@@Viking_bowhunter Arrows will cost you $16-$18 each not including the broadhead. So, a dozen would run you in the $200-$220 range. Not cheap, but neither is the performance.
Victory has had the .166 shafts dialed in with the vap tko, vap, and vap ss. I think their components are the best out of all the micro diameter shafts with how much the sleeve goes over the shaft and the selection with 50, 75, and 95 grains. These are interesting though because the quality. Wonder if the Victory components fit them
I’ve bought Easton many times in the past, but have thought about buying Victory RIP TKO’s for next hunting season. Can you vouch for their quality?
@@austindavidson2938 oh for sure. Ive shot a few into a 2x4, tree, wall at the archery shop, a few hard mediums with no failures. Straightness is on par with the best and i like their components aside from their 35 grain shok insert.
Can we get review on tac vanes an annihilator broadheads please !!!!!
Axis is a good arrow. I will say I tried out the Victory VAP SS and the arrow is amazing and I feel a better product overall.
Ethics Archery makes some great insert/outsert setups that don’t break the bank along with stainless steel field points. Might be worth tying out.
I've had bad luck with all my ethics inserts bending with my axis arrows. Tried alu/steel outsert/ctr pin and combos of both. Love their system but they were not working for me. Granted I'm at 80lbs, 29"dl and 550-600 grain arrows depending on what insert combo I was using.
@@caninphx Interesting, Ive had good luck so far. Granted I didn't have any issues with the regular HIT inserts on my carbon injexions either and this is my first set of anything Ethics. Both arrows were in that 435gr-465gr range respectively, also at 80# and a 28.5" DL. Perhaps it's just the arrow weight causing the issues for you? Who knows, good luck this year.
@@caninphx I've unfortunately hit steel bars in 3D targets with mine and had no issues. Deformed my field tip, but still spins fine. 70# draw, 500-grain arrow, 28.5” draw. Aluminum insert, stainless outsert.
Holy hell with that Ti insert price just go ethics archery halfsert+sleeve. You can get down to 45gr with aluminum or 180gr with full stainless or anything in between AND it will make the whole arrow stronger.
Easton arrows are the best....period
Another fantastic review mate.
Cannot wait to purchase gear and a new bow from you.
Hey Kellen, so I came into the shop the other day and you said that the micro diameter lighted nocks weren't sturdy enough but I wanted to let you know I put the G size nocturnals in with a little bit of bowstring wax and they went right in no problem. Just wanted to let ya know. Ive shot the lighted nocks super well and recovered arrows in the field I never would have other wise. God bless🇺🇲
Oh its not that they don't go in the shaft, they just seem to bend/break after a little while. Ive seen lots of people basically dry fire their bow because it broke on them even though it wasn't visibly damaged. Im sure most are okay I just don't like risking it haha
@@InsideOutPrecision ah I see! That would be unfortunate. Thanks again
I have nocturnal s nocks wich are big af and have a few of em broken and cracked just from normal use
so they made victory vaps
Awesome channel! Thanks for content!
I’d like to see these compared to Gold Tip’s Airstrikes. They are the 2 I’m debating on shooting for a few years.
The OD and GPI on these are nearly identical to the Gold Tip Kinetic Pierce Platinums. That’s the route I went when the axis weren’t available.
Shot air strikes they are trash
@@tylerwood7719 how so?
Hey, now that is my kind of archery range these days!!!
Ordered a dozen of the 4mm's along with the snyder core system from IW. STOKED to try it out.
Going to try the same. Should be an awesome combo!! Good luck
I’m looking at the same set up. Let us know how it goes. What final weight up front did you go with?
@@charlesredfern8682 Total 400 grains. Believe about 155 up front. 15% foc. 26 drawlength.
Have you tried the Snyder Core insert with the new Easton Axis arrows? Seems like a great, strong option to me…if you don’t mind the lack of quickly interchanging points/broadheads.
30 inch draw?!!! This whole time I though you were short!
Nah he’s like 6’2”
Thought he was like 5 9

Excellent video! btw - is that Sacajawea Park?!
No haha it’s my bosses place
Old video but I'm building arrows and thinking.... Any better outserts out there for these yet? Something BE FOCOS ?? Anything from Firenock/Dorge you'd recommend??
Nice to see a 4mm in a 250 spine. Might need to give these a whirl.
Been watching a lot of your videos. Currently thinking about picking up a v3 29” draw mainly used for deer hunting, which let off would you go with, and what would your recommended arrow be? Thanks!
Would love to try some these arrows
I know what I’m shooting this year at TAC😉
Great review!
Ok
Here are my questions
1st can I order 1/2 dozen through you tried to get them from Lancaster and I ended up with FMJ’s which is love hate with me because they bend
2nd question
I’m a short draw guy with 60 lb TRIAX at 27” draw
Arrows my Carbon Injexions cut to 26 ( shaft end to shaft end) what’s your recommendation for spine
I ha ordered 400 spine from Lancaster because that’s what I’ve always shot with fmj and Carbon Injexions
If I can order I inclined to go with aluminum inserts but please feel free to make a recommendation I’m not adverse to spending extra money if it can save me money in long run
Thanks for taking time to read this

Any issues fletching these shafts? Seem like it would be hard to do a full helical with, say, a 3 inch vane...
What TAC event are you shooting? I did Texas and it was awesome! Thanks for you great content.
Park City Utah!
What fletching jig would you recommend for putting on aae max stealth three fletch with a left helical?
What system do you use to determine the correct spine and length someone should be shooting? Thanks in advance!
Arrow is an arrow. I have shot an arrow that does like Biggs bunny cartoon where it rotates like crazy and still hit center. Just shoot bow and know your equipment, just like operating a piece of equipment, you have to know it
If I had the equipment to tune my bow like you guys I be a bad son of a gun
Spine consistency way more important than straightness. Are you able to test spine around shaft and shaft to shaft in the dozen?
Easton is the most consistent arrow dozen to dozen.
Any idea if Ethics is making inserts for this size? Also wondering if my pierce platinum inserts will work 🤔
Deff buying these though... Next time I win the lottery
They absolutely are. I've been playing with a ton of components this year. I've settled in on the Nexxus Titanium components for that style.
If I was to do anything else I'd run Deep Six HIT's with quality fixed heads. Exodus or Iron Will.
Or the new Iron Will Synder Core
How do they compare to the black eagle x impacts?
so why not Gold Tip Pierce?
Might have missed it but....where are the titanium outserts from?
Easton makes them
Hate outserts.....however...having one arrow for target and hunting is awesome
Great review! What's your bow specs your shooting with these?
30" dl, 72lbs.
Do you guys have any 300 spine available in shafts I've been trying for a long time to get them
You should try out the Orion series from Sirius. They are super tough, spin straight and don’t kill you in gpi. The .300s are 8.3 gpi. Great for 3D.
what bow are you matching those bullets with?
My Traverse for now, but the PSE EVL 34 soon!
Inside Out Precision Thanks for the info. Ive been thinking about the same bow. Do you guys ship bows to customers? Say I wanted you to set one up and send it to me?? Just moved to TN from Marthas Vineyard and dont know anything about the area and no time to explore bow shops due to working all the time.

What size Tac vanes are you using on them??
do the titanium outserts fit flush to the end of the arrow or do they overlap a like the aluminum ones?
They sit flush
Do the titanium outsert sit flush with the arrow shaft or do they also have the overlap like aluminum?
FLUSH
480gr is usually my sweet spot also
Have you tested these with broadheads yet? If so have you noticed if they need much nock tuning?
I had some issues with my injexions but my hexx are incredible. Need to nock tune only a few.
Easton say nock tuning is NOT required with they're new acu carbon in these shafts.
@@backcountryaddiction5318where did you hear that
So I can’t get my new hoyt ventum (or old hoyt nitrum) to shoot a bullet hole with a 300 spine arrow. The first 340 spine arrow shot bullet holes in paper first try. My draw length 30” and 67 lbs calls for 300 spine, any recommendations?
How long is the arrow?? Also, did you mkve the rest or use the shims to get rid of the left/right tear with your ventum?
We used the rest to get the left/right out of it. Arrows at 29.5” without counting the Easton in/outsert for the 4mm. So prob 30” total. My old hoyt did the same thing. Want to shoot 300 but tuning says I shouldn’t? Or should I shim the cams to fit the 300? Thanks in advance for the advice.
I’m shooting the ventum 30 also FYI.
Not able to order merch from Canada😭
What setup would you recommend for 27.5” DL and 70#
I’m close to that. With my 5mm’s I was at 340 spine with 50 grn HIT 100gr head. Those were great arrows. Just picked up a dozen 4mm 300 with the 50gr aluminum out. And I’m going to test 100 and 125 gr heads to see what flys better and what my FOC will be.
@@3rty4our did you ever get to test those arrows out? I’m debating the same thing between 125 and 100 gr points
@@stevediaz9996 after my build and going 300 spine my arrows are right at 430 grains with 100 tip and 14% FOC. My hunt is for Barbary sheep so it’s going to be a longer shot. So I think I’m going to stick with the 100. If I had a elk hunt I might’ve gone heavier.
Just shoot'em !! Was shooting 340 FMJ's out of my Vertix. Shooting Axis long range now, 300's and these are ROCKETS !! 28"dl and 70lbs. Group awesome to 80 yards ! Field points or my Exodus broadheads.
I run a similar setup but with Montec G5's and can also vouch they are a dead ringer at 80. Definitely running them for elk this year.
Great info. I can feel the money leaving my wallet already...
So.... What you're saying is that they're better than my hunter xts? Lol
Lmao😂 not even comparable! These are wayyyyy better
new easton axis 4mm arrows vs victory vap .166 (been out for years) sounds the same
GPI is lighter for equivalent spines on the VAP. With any luck the Axis is more durable because the durability of the VAP's is woeful
@@johnryan6356
I shoot 28inch 60-75 v1 vap 350 elite that is 7.8gr per inch with 95gr titanium inserts and 100gr tip come out avg 427gr arrows and FOC 18.5% with 70# bow I have to shoot 5 spots ok I will destroy them

Will the Victory VAP outsert work on these??
Im curious of this as well. Gott check the id comparisons between the two shafts
Damn, those are spendy. I'll stick with regular 5mm Axis arrows.
I wouldn’t buy shit that The bowmars have a hand in. Tac vanes absolutely suck.
Heck no buy ethics archery inserts. You gonna spend the money on arrows might as well build them to last. Why you want an arrow with weak inserts. Use gorilla glue sticks don't believe all the hype. Works just as good
Well I know many whom have had issues with ethics inserts bending. Myself included and in 3d foam targets and have had others that have had zeeo issues with them. Tried alu/steel and combos of both all bent for me att 80lbs 29" draw length with axis 5mm. Shame as they are a beauty system and Hoss is a great guy, but I won't use the inserts anymore based on my experience with them
Can u get me a dz?
