Victory VAP SS Elite – Kauffman Custom Build

Stainless Steel / Carbon Hybrid. Ultra-Micro .166 Profile. Match-Grade ±.001" Tolerances. Extreme Momentum.

Engineered for extreme bone-splitting kinetic momentum and maximum Front-of-Center (FOC) potential, the Victory VAP SS Elite fuses a high-modulus carbon core with a precision-woven stainless steel outer layer. By embedding stainless steel directly into the outer weave of an ultra-micro .166" shaft, Victory created a heavy-hitting micro-diameter platform that cuts through brutal crosswinds and drives broadheads through heavy muscle and bone.

Inspected to an elite match-grade ±.001" straightness specification and weight-matched within ±0.5 grains per dozen, each VAP SS Elite comes equipped with Victory’s 50-grain SHOK TL Aluminum Outsert System for enhanced FOC balance and front-end structural armor. Finished with Victory's factory Digital Spine Alignment and slick ICE Nano Ceramic Coating, this shaft is designed for Western big-game hunters who demand maximum penetration through sheer mass and inertia.

At Kauffman Custom Archery, we convert raw VAP SS hybrid carbon into a zero-compromise hunting asset through meticulous studio bench prep—indexing dynamic spine, diamond-squaring both ends, and hand-fletching each shaft for absolute broadhead-steering stability downrange.

The Kauffman Custom Studio Difference

Stainless-carbon hybrid shafts running heavy front-end components demand precise bench prep to ensure perfect broadhead alignment and zero flight oscillation:

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

• Dual-End Diamond Truing: Both hybrid carbon/steel ends are precision-squared using high-speed diamond wheels, establishing a dead-flat 90-degree seating plane for SHOK TL outserts and IP nocks.

• 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 broadhead steering control.

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