Default RE: How to increase FOC

Such as arrows with extremely high FOC (20% +) are showing significantly better penetration than arrows with more normal FOC's.
Doesn't surprise me in the least. I've been advocating high FOC for years, (along with guys like you) yet most seem happy to get to the lower end of the acceptable range. When using carbon arrows, it's pretty easy to get a high FOC and still have a relatively light arrow.

I've suspected that FOC's used by most hunters was too low in the past several years. I see so many hunting videos of deer being shot with high speed bows, and very little penetration, and all from hunters who suposedly know what they're doing! I've blamed it on the 3D mentality. What's good for 3D, is not necessarily good for hunting.
