Default RE: Front OF Center

Does this chart have a recommended shaft for a 300 grain tip?

Charts are guidlines, not rules of what tip weight you must use. I am also not referring to anything that is over or under spined. It is becoming increasingly common to put very heavy tips on heavier than normal spined arrows, to give perfect dynamic spine, resulting in perfect flight.

The point I'm trying to make, is that any tip can be made to work. Light tips result in lower FOC, and heavy tips result in higher FOC. Higher is better for stability and penetration. Hunters should realize this. 10%-15% FOC is not ideal, at least not for many people. Those deciding that they want a 300 grain tip, will end up with a much higher FOC that is correct for their setup. At least it'll be correct if they choose the shaft spine, length, and draw weight correctly.
