Victory RIP Gamer – Kauffman Custom Build

5mm Micro-Diameter Velocity. Bone-Crushing Penetration. ±.003" Gamer-Grade Tolerance.

Engineered for western big-game hunters and backcountry archers who need long-range wind resistance without sacrificing speed, the Victory RIP Gamer delivers the ultimate balance of velocity, penetration, and structural strength. Built on a 5mm (.204" ID) micro-diameter carbon frame, the RIP series minimizes crosswind drift and dramatically reduces friction as it passes through big-game hide and vitals.

Every RIP Gamer shaft comes equipped with Victory’s high-impact SHOK Outsert/Insert System—increasing forward weight balance (FOC) while protecting the front carbon wall from severe impacts. Infused with Victory's factory Digital Spine Alignment and slick ICE Nano Ceramic Coating, these shafts boast a ±.003" straightness specification for flat-shooting, broadhead-steering performance.

At Kauffman Custom Archery, we turn raw RIP carbon into a match-grade hunting weapon through our studio bench prep—indexing every spine, diamond squaring both ends, and hand-fletching each shaft for zero broadhead runout.

The Kauffman Custom Studio Difference

Micro-diameter 5mm shafts paired with outsert/halfout systems require precision bench assembly to guarantee zero wobble downrange:

• 360° Roller Spine Indexing: We spin-test every shaft on dial-indicator rollers to identify optimum dynamic stiffness and index nocks for identical flex off the string.

• Dual-End Diamond Truing: Both carbon faces are precision-cut and squared with high-speed diamond wheels, creating a dead-flat 90-degree seating plane for Victory SHOK components.

• Chemical Degreasing & Custom Hand Fletching: Shafts undergo complete solvent cleaning before receiving heavy-duty custom wraps and hand-fletched high-profile vanes (Q2i Rapt-X or AAE Max Stealth) for maximum steering control.

• Grain-Matched Dozen Sets: Your complete set is hand-sorted and weight-matched across the batch to keep your point-of-impact consistent shot after shot.
