Victory VAP 166 Elite V1 spine chart: which spine for your draw

Which Victory VAP 166 Elite V1 spine to choose for your draw weight and point, from its published range.

Dry-fire warning

Crossbow bolt data and archery arrow spine, nock and thread data are quoted from each manufacturer's published figures, owner documentation and industry standards, cited on every page. A nock, spine or grain-weight mismatch can cause a dry-fire that damages the bow and can injure the shooter. Confirm against your own owner's manual and the arrow maker's own chart before shooting, and never drop below the stated minimum total weight.

For the Victory VAP 166 Elite V1, a lighter (40-50 lb) setup takes the 500 spine, a medium (55-65 lb) setup the 350, and a heavy (65-75 lb) setup the 300, before adjusting for point weight. Read your exact draw weight and length on the maker's chart.

Field notes

The Victory VAP 166 Elite V1 is offered in 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 spine. Spine tracks draw weight: a lighter bow flexes the shaft less and wants a weaker (higher-number) spine, a heavier bow wants a stiffer (lower-number) one.

These bands follow the widely published spine ranges, roughly 500 to 600 for a 25 to 45 pound draw, 340 to 400 for 45 to 65 pounds, and 250 to 300 for 65 pounds and up, then adjusted for arrow length and point weight.

Treat this as the starting point the way an archery shop does, then confirm your exact draw weight and arrow length on the manufacturer chart or with a bare-shaft test before cutting a dozen.
