I've been hanging out witha few traditional shooters that use carbon arrows but achieve the extra weight they need and softening up the super stiff spines of carbonsby really loading up the front of the arrow. Stainless steel or brass inserts, 145 gn glue on tips mounted on screw-in adaptors.

They're loading up 300 grains or more in tip weight, but they get wonderful arrow flight with FOC'sthat most would considerridiculously high.

Odd, but their downrange trajectories seem to be very comparable to other guys', when the other guys are using arrows with more conventional FOC's. [:-]

Measely little 125 gn tipsdon't even come close to making FOC 'too high'! They can't. It's not even remotely possible. Frankly, from what I've seen over the past couple of months with those heavy, front stuffed carbons, I'm not so sureany longer that there evenIS such a thing as 'too high' when it comes to FOC.

There's darn sure such a thing as too light though...
