I gave them a try because they were inexpensive (bought a half dozen for under 4 bucks each - place selling out).

I really liked them - shot them with my Vixen II - total bolt weight of (about) 419 grains with tips/moon nocks/4" duravanes.

At the time I was shooting Horton Bone Collectors which grouped a little tighter/more consistently even with wind, so stayed with them as my hunting arrow and used the Victory's for target shooting.

I only have one of the Victory's left in (my collection). The rest of them got toasted when they shot on top of each other at 25 yards and either drove the nocks into the shafts (2 of them - so a total of 4 bolts with one right inside the shaft of the other - have them mounted on the "trophy wall" - looks cool) or just otherwise got chewed up.

I have moved on to Gold Tip II's but would not hesitate to use the Victory's if the GT's became unavailable and I needed another bolt.
