Do y'all worry about the foc of you arrows? If so what do y'all consider good? Just for kicks I did the math on several arrows tonight , xx75 2016 ,xt 500 , heavy hunters 500 and 400 with 50 and 100 gr inserts , I ran the numbers with field points and a 2 blade broadhead. Average was 10% , the Heavy hunters with 100gr insert and 125 gr broadhead came in at 11.75% at a weight of 682 gr . I thought it be a lot higher. I have to shoot full lenght shafts 32" , I draw 31" .

I shoot GT35/55s 30"/100gr inserts/200gr heads..570 gr arrow weight out of a 52# recurve and a 57# R/D longbow. They fly like darts out of either. Never calcumulated grin the FOC but it is high.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I've always liked 9 to grains per pound.
With whitetail deer I think that is plenty.
Dont think you have anything to worry about with that setup.

the ONLY disadvantage to heavy arras/high FOC is in shooting longer ranges, ie: trajectory is greater. But I don't usually shoot over 20 yards so it is a non issue for me.

Penetration on angling shots or on big hogs is for sure better and sometimes needed. My rig will blow thru a 225# boars shield and stick in the off shoulder or exit.

Don't matter to me one way or the other. I'm more concerned about a proper tune. An tuned arrow will penetrate better than a heavier arrow not tuned. Shoot as heavy as you want but tune well.

Right on the money.
