Default Paging all A/C/C Shooters...

hey, guys and gals, i have a few questions for you...i am already considering my set-up for next season (even though this season is currently in full swing.) i have considered shooting a/c/c's for next year. after hearing everyone's opinions on the shafts, i thought i have to at least try them. so, to the questions. next season my set-up will be 62lbs., 30in. draw, wisker biscuit, feathers, shooting fingers. first question, is it possible to fletch the a/c/c's with 5" right helical feathers or is the shaft dia too small? i have a few shaft/broadhead weight combinations that i could possibly shoot. the way the biscuit mounts on the bow allows for a couple of different shaft lengths for me, namely 29-30in. i haven't settled on a point weight as of yet. it will either be a 100 gr. or 125 gr. point. second question, what foc is everyone getting with any combination of a 29" or 30" 3-60 or 3-71 with either a 100 gr. or a 125 gr. point? i do realize that the biscuit prefers a stiffer shaft, but i would like to get all the info i can. (btw, i don't really like jackson's foc calculator based on components, that's why i would like to hear everyone's actual measured foc.) this should get me started. thanks for any help. i really appreciate everyone's input.

I am not sure about the foc but I can put a mighty fine right helical on mine using 4" vanes.

I also am not sure about the foc but I have used A C C's for years and love them I use mostly 4 inch with a drastic helical, I fletch my own. I have also used 3 inch 4 fletch with success. I personally think that the 371's would be a little too heavy for 62 lbs but that is my opinion only at 62 lbs I would use 349's or no larger then 360. Again that is only my opinion. I have taken 12 deer with the same shaft.
