You can get the low foc to shoot fine but when conditions get less than perfect,like wind or when penetrating an animal or hitting a branch.Or just hammering a release,like is done a lot when shooting at a live animal,The higher foc will be the one that will perform better.If you are on the low end of ke,you need all the advantages that you can get and foc up around 12%-15% will help you in that regard.I have shot at 50 ft lb of ke and passed thru deer at a sharp angle with 1 1/2" expandables and I feel that 12% foc helped me do it.

Also lower speed arrows will benefit a lot from the heavier foc,it will require less spinning of the arrow to fly straight.


10% foc should be fine for most but it seems that 12% for me is the sweet spot.I wouldn't reccomend lower than 10% for anyone,even though I know some have great succes that low.

just my 2 cents worth.
