Earlier this year, Gold Tip announced that it would be launching its new Velocity Valkyrie four-fletch arrow. The Valkyrie is Gold Tip's first factory four-fletch arrow.

The Velocity Valkyrie comes factory fletched with aggressive graphics, lightweight construction and four low-profile vanes for added surface area without sacrificing clearance or speed. The company claims that the configuration should produce more back-end drag, faster stabilization and group size reductions of 20- to 75 percent with broadheads.

“Experienced shooters know that four vanes give you increased stability, faster stabilization, and tighter groupings,” said Gold Tip Senior Product Manager Jason Harris. “Add to that Gold Tip’s 100 percent Pure Carbon technology for unmatched straightness retention and toughness, and you get the Valkyrie. It’s screaming speed with four-fletch accuracy.”

Velocity Valkyrie arrows feature the lightweight Velocity shaft with .003” straightness and +/- .5 grain weight tolerances. They are offered in five arrow spines, including 300, 340, 400, 500 and 600. The Valkyrie four-fletch configuration is also now available in Hunter Pro, Velocity Pro, Kinetic Kaos and Kinetic Pierce Platinum series for dealers.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field. Rangefinding riflescopes, dial-up turrets and integrated ballistic systems are no longer gimmicks. They work, but only if you take the time to understand them and use them to their full potential.
