If any of you are on the fence about buying the Ibex release like I was…do it. I’m a new bow hunter from Louisiana that has had multiple shoulder surgeries causing me to be really late to the game. At the end of last season I got a bow and have been so determined to get confident enough to make ethical shots next season. It’s been a grind, let me tell you. I THOUGHT I was getting surprised shots with my thumb button…but when I got the Ibex my groups almost instantly shrunk. After shooting it for about a week straight, I switched over to my Carter Too Simple for one group and I was touching arrows. It has been that way time after time. I’ve never been this consistent with any release but now I’m consistent with two! I’m still not sure if I’ll hunt with the Ibex yet, but even if I don’t, it’s what will be in my hand in the offseason year after year. It’s pricey, but man…it’s been worth every penny for me.

Thank you! Stoked on these new arrows! 🙌

I’d love to see him make some waves and compare the .003’s and see if there’s much of a difference between the V1’s of Victory’s and Easton match grades 😬 Also, this may not have been filmed, but does he spin test each glue in to test for any possible wobble before gluing everything up?

I really like what Dale is offering with Evolution. I’ve been running the victory RIP TKO arrows for several years now and really like them. I run HIT inserts with collars and hot melt everything in. I’ve had great luck with that. I’d definitely buy a 204 glue system if that ever came to fruition but I kind of do that now with the way I do it. Good stuff. I really like your content.

@theWoodrow82 Thanks! Yeah, Dale is the man. Sounds like a solid setup!

Yeah I use the same arrows and want to change my front end components away from the outserts that came with the arrows. I just checked out those glue in heads and saw that they were for .166 arrows and felt a little bummed 😔

@@TheWVgoodguy22 I just take all my HIT inserts and screw them flush to my broadhead of choice, put the collar on the arrows then hot melt everything in. It’s the same purpose really. I do field points the same way on certain arrows. I am not taking away what Dale is doing at all. What he’s doing for the 166 is hands down the best system. But if you’re a guy that likes the 204 diameter arrows this way can’t be beat in my opinion.

@@theWoodrow82 excellent explanation I might have to try that instead thanks 🙏

You gotta learn to build your own. Cheaper and way more rewarding. Gotta get yourself a little bow shop setup at home. 👍👍

Tim, I've been thinking about this! 🙌

Tedious work indeed in getting all of those arrows perfect. I checked on the website and saw those new glue in heads, but was bummed that they were for .166 arrows only and wouldn’t work with my Victory Rip TKO Gamer 300s that are 204. I definitely want to change out my front end components and go away from the outserts that they give you. 😎🏹🦌

So with the glued in tip system are those arrows only for practice? How do you convert them to a hunting tip?

@DialedinHunter

Yes, those arrows with field tips are only for practice and then we also made arrows with broadheads, which will be only for hunting with minimal practice just to confirm flight. I did this off camera and confirmed that the broadheads were flying true. Using hot melt, though, you could reheat the field tips back up, pull them out, and re-install. broadheads.

How do you feel about the 4 or 5 vanes? He discussed helical a bit but I didn’t see much if any in the video. Also would you use 3 or 4” vanes as apprised to the small ones? Your preference and why?

@DialedinHunter

So, I ended up going with the 4 vanes. One of the pros with 4 is not having to look down when nocking your arrow. You also have more adjustment points for nock tuning if you need to do that. Dale says in the video he only uses a 5 vane configuration because it looks cool, haha. With that said, there are even more nock tuning adjustment points with 5 vanes. With these arrows and their process I haven't had to nock tune anything though. The name of the game, in my personal opinion, is results. In all honesty, and I'm being sincere here, I don't care if my vanes are 3 inches, 4 inches, or smaller. What matters is the impact point with a fixed blade broadhead downrange.

I definitely agree tight grouped results are all that matter!! Great video with lots of interesting info!! Never spun my arrows before so seeing it makes me want to do it.

Why doesn’t he just start with the V1? I think his process is so cool, but wouldn’t he just save time with the V1?

​@kevinsmith3057 The V3's are more economic. So, if we can get the V3 performing like a V1 should, why not?
