GRIT ARCHERY ARROW BUILD / HOW to MAKE the STRONGEST and MOST ACCURATE ARROW / 4k

[@pfknob]

My TAC/3D arrow is the RIP XV 350 spine with Bohning X3 vanes (3 fletch), standard 50 grain insert with 100 grn field tips. TAW = 346 grains. It's a rocket at 295 fps. Shooting a Mathews Lift 29.5 w/ 60# pull and 28.5" draw; Ultraview scope. My hunting arrow will be the RIP TKO 350 spine with Bohning X3 vanes, 75 grain outsert, and broadhead (yet to be decided).

[@gritarchery]

Sound like a killer set up

[@archerash6695]

Yup to 3 fletch, yup to Arizona EZ fletch. Yup to TAC vanes. Lol same exact arrows I built but used Josh Jones titanium half out inserts. Sick arrows!! Because of the high helical I used the TAC 2.0 vanes. Didnt want anything to big.

[@gritarchery]

Awesome!!! we have been very happy with them so far.

[@archerash6695]

I agree. Podium Archery has the titanium half inserts. Im running those and they are amazing. With Sevr field points

[@gritarchery]

We have been experimenting with the Sevrs a bit. They seem pretty solid so far.

[@progradepainting3755]

I’ve been wondering how good these would be with the new Easton match grade collars (if they fit) and the 75 grain brass hit inserts.

[@gritarchery]

Should be a decent set up. We are big fans of running ethics inserts in ours the are tough as they come

[@kevintabor6586]

Good luck getting those tac vanes to stick good.

[@snboutdoors9567]

I’ve never had any issues with the tac vanes as long as you prime it

[@gritarchery]

The primer pen and scuffing the surface are a must with AAE and TAC vanes. If you do that you can hardly get them off.

[@kevintabor6586]

Yea I use aae and never have any issues. Me and several friends do not have any luck with tack vanes. I been fletching my own arrows for 31 years and this is the only vane that gives me problems

[@YoureSoVane]

​@@kevintabor6586I do a lot of vanes for my testing, and TAC vanes require prep. But I go overkill on everything so the only time any vane falls off is when I screw up. Clean shaft with alcohol, clean vanes with acetone, apply primer, use a thin glue and hold at high pressure for several seconds. I did this with every vane I use long before I bought a pack of TAC vanes.

Arizona essay flech is around 60.00

[@gritarchery]

Yeah we see that. Been awhile since we bought one. They have really gone up like everything else

[@YoureSoVane]

The only thing should be stronger than the standard Ethics components is the Sirius half jackets, also made by Ethics. Haven't broken either yet. I run the TAC Summit vanes in a 4 fletch. I get more lift for the weight.

[@gritarchery]

We couldn't be happier with them they are awesome components. Sounds like a solid set up. All this arrow building and shooting has us ready for fall. Good luck this year!

[@michaelhines4122]

How much is your total arrow weight with this build.

[@gritarchery]

We forgot to throw them on the scale. We will weigh them today and get back to you.

[@michaelhines4122]

@@gritarchery thanks

[@gritarchery]

@@michaelhines4122 28” arrow weighed in at 460 grains

[@michaelhines4122]

@@gritarchery heck yeah that’s perfect. How do they hood up on animals pretty tuff?

[@gritarchery]

Extremely, they've held up to everything we've put them through so far.

[@lynnydimes2353]

RIPs absolutely come in 250 spine

[@gritarchery]

At the time they hadn't come out with them yet. Thanks for the heads up though hope your season is going well
