Default FOC problem...need some advice.

I've read on thi forum that for hunting I should use anywhere between 10%-14% FOC to get good arrow flight. I shot Goldtips the past year and the FOC was lower than it should have been. My local pro shop told me I'd be okay with them. I thought they shot great but then again I can't see the arrow fly, I just know they ended up where I was aiming. I'm want to switch to ACC's this year but the FOC would be worst. What do I do? I went to Bowjackson.com and got these results. Help me out.
