Yeah, it is about form. I brought in forgiveness in bow design being able to help with accidental form mistakes. Straightarrow brought in the stability and forgiveness factors of extremely high FOC arrows for the same reason.

We shot heavy arrows with heavy broadheads years ago, true enough. Some of us still do. What we didn't do before, what is new, is to use arrows with extreme FOC. We didn't have stainless steel or brass inserts to help jack up FOC with standard size broadheads. Heck, I'm waiting for depleted uranium inserts to REALLY jack it up. [8D]

It's not the weight that's new, it's the distribution of weight in arrow design. I guess neither of you have paid any attention to the recently introduced weight forward carbon arrows? It's a concept that's starting to come on and you old school light arrow, low FOC guys are being left in the dust.
