Best broadhead I’ve ever used. Switched last year and ended up tagging out in GA. One at 50 yards. They match my field points almost exactly. Taking them to Colorado for a bull in September and I have absolute confidence in my setup with VPA single bevel 150’s. Thank y’all for your great work. Customer for life.
He said Victory arrow was the only US made carbon arrow manufacture. Isn’t Easton made in the USA? I read a while back that victory arrows had, “made in Vietnam” on the package??
Watching this video, and listening to these guys at VPA has persuaded me to give them a try. I really like there view on how they do business, as well as life in general…. If I’m gonna spend that much money on broadheads, I’d like to know I’m supporting“good” folks with there head on strait. 😉👍
They are great folks!
If a mechanical is a low energy to open design, deploys from the rear and locks when open I might try it. However, in my experience the big problems with most mechanical broadheads are small entry holes, less penetration and my biggest gripe, an unpredictable path once the broadhead hits the animal due to the blade not locking open. Advocates state this allows the arrow to navigate around bone, but this means the arrow goes off course. I've been shooting a fixed blade designs (QAD Exodus, Slick Trick and a few single bevel designs like Helix) for the last 14 years and the broadheads do not veer off course when they enter the body, when bones are accidently hit they are broken and the arrow continues on its intended path, they produce great blood trails, and I always get 100% pass through.
The first single bevel head I bought was a VPA the truth is I was disappointed in the sharpness, so glad to hear about there new machines I will now try your blades again thanks for your upgrade
I bought some and after some sharpening they got niceeee
How do their single bevel compare to Magnus? I just ordered a set of Magnus now I’m second guessing. Any opinions?
Your fine. Magnus is top notch American made. Shoots like field points
Look into Samurai single bevel broadheads from Grizzlystik!
is there a way to know/attend when your next live podcast(s) are?

@@HUNTERSADVANTAGE Thank you. HubHanger will be attending the next show.
Nothing against VPA. They sound awesome. I just want to correct a misstatement that the gentleman made. VPA is not the only single bevel manufacturer that will replace a broadhead that takes damage while hunting. I shot a buck through the shoulder with a cutthroat single bevel. The buck went 40 yards and tipped over. Broadhead blade was folded over after going through the thickness part of the scapula right by the joint. I sent it to cutthroat and got a replacement. VPA is not the only company that does that.
Magnus also has a lifetlime guarantee.
Don't know if you guys are aware yet, But Nebraska NR archery tags went to a draw this year, and only 3k tags will be issued.
It's a hidden gem no longer.
They really are the Best
Cool podcast here. A couple of things I wonder about.
1, VPA is NOT the only company offering a warranty. Magnus has been doing that forever. Maybe even longer than VPA has been in business.
2, this kind of new generation Bowhunter that seems to have grown up on mechanical heads. They shoot a 200 grain single bevel and a 500+ grain arrow at a deer 20 yards and are just blown away by the performance. They’ve never seen anything like it. Well, this current fad of boutique single bevel mega grain heads is way over rated. ANY quality fixed blade head from 75 grains to 125 grains on even the lightest arrow out of a properly tuned bow will do the exact same thing. It’s a white tail at 20-30 yards. You really don’t need much.
Had a ramcat on a 460 gr arrow deflected right off a bucks humerus and came out his brisket…never found him….3 days later another guy on our trip killed him chasing does… I’ll never shoot a ramcat or under 600 gr again
Yeah... but this is America 🇺🇸
What interview is jeff referring to as the two talking heads? Kinda wanna hear that bs?
Ok what broadhead is it?
VPA Single bevel 150 grain
Yeah I rewind it to see, thanks
Vpa omega are great.
if you get two holes on a muscle hit, the deer will recover quickly probably without infection. Two holes you most likely find your arrow and intact and can reuse everything.
What broadheads you using
VPA 150 grain and 200 grain single bevels
Jake.... you say your not totally happy with arrow speed at 585gr. So drop to a 150gr. That takes you down to 535gr which is still a good weight... and you would gain 15 to 17fps on your arrow speed.
I think that’s the plan this year!!
Or drop down to 450 grains with a 100 grain head and get the same pass through at higher speed. That arrow will literally kill a moose. Almost 600 for a whitetail? Bruh!
@@drewolm yep 450 works great .
@@curtwatkins9520 if you don't go 650, you might as well go 450, because 650 is the bone breaking threshold and if you don't hit a bone, all two blades should pass through.
VPA is 1 of the best
i think you mean vap
@@stdavis22no hes right
There is data supporting that heavy arrows and fixed heads does not gain that much in penetration like a inch so my question is why go thru all that and slow down a already slow compound bow the issue with compound bows is FPS period the higher the FPS the more you can do the more options you have now you are limited on compound as to how fast but just look at crossbow guys over 500 fps they can use just about any head they want and blow thru any animal period
@@EricBynog-zd4rd what data are you referring to?
Try reading the Ashby bowhunting foundation studies. Heavier and slower is best for penetration and really makes a big difference when heavy bone is hit.
Marketing at its finest...
Id love to have a conversation with you fellas.. im noticing a trend lately and it involves a lot of personal bias with your guests information they are pushing.... to the point of steering away from the truth...
