Default RE: 13.3 foc could it cause problems

One negitive to very high foc , is you arrow flight starts to look like a rainbow , arrow drop is significantly increased at ranges farther than 20 yards ,
Actually, I think that is a myth. OL Adcock won distance records (by a lot) with a correctly spined light weight arrow and an FOC as high as possible. Although this was with a longbow, the same trajectory would also hold true for a compound.

Also check out OL Adcock's second response here:
