Let's get one thing straight: treating your hunting arrows like fragile, disposable commodities is a recipe for failure. If you are stepping into the backcountry with a shaft that can't survive a heavy bone impact or a grueling trek through dense timber, you are already at a disadvantage.
Enter the Rival Series. Victory Archery built the Rival and the all-new Rival X for the bowhunter who demands absolute, uncompromising durability. We didn't engineer this lineup to look pretty in a quiver; we engineered it to crush big game, survive the chaos of the hunt, and be ready to do it again.
Wrapped in Victory's ferocious 1.5K carbon weave construction, the standard Rival boasts a balanced-diameter platform that provides unyielding structural strength and consistency. It delivers the perfect trifecta of blistering speed, unstoppable kinetic energy, and deep-driving penetration. It is the ultimate everyday enforcer for whitetail woods and dense timber.
The Rival Series also introduces Victory's R.P.S. insert system, a stainless steel internal component platform engineered for strength, tunability, and front-end durability. Built around a 30-grain stainless steel RPS-style insert, the system allows hunters to screw in field points, broadheads, back weights, and other compatible components while keeping the entire setup internal to the arrow shaft. This gives bowhunters the ability to fine-tune total arrow weight and FOC without sacrificing the clean, hard-driving profile needed for serious penetration.
At the rear of the shaft, the Rival Series uses a bushing system designed to neck down the .225 platform to accept Victory's .204 IP nock. The included nock bushing adds strength and consistency at the back of the arrow while helping protect the shaft and maintain a precise nock fit shot after shot.
For the hunters pursuing the heaviest, thickest-skinned big game on the planet, we built the Rival X. Stepping down to a small-diameter profile and stepping up the mass, the Rival X is a heavy-hitting sledgehammer designed to maximize Front-Of-Center (FOC) and kinetic energy. It ignores crosswinds, punches through heavy bone without hesitation, and flat-out refuses to break.
Stop hoping your arrow holds together. Shoot the Rival or Rival X, and know exactly what happens when you release the string.
Rival Series Key Performance Specs:
The Rival Platform: Balanced-diameter carbon shaft delivering a lethal combination of speed, kinetic energy, and versatile performance.
The Rival X Platform: Small-diameter profile engineered for extreme kinetic energy, wind-bucking mass, and maximum penetration on heavy-boned game.
