Default RE: Why good form

Weight distribution is nothing new.

Weight forward carbon arrows have been introduced because so many people like to use 100 gr tips (or even 85). That's the pure and simple truth. The weight forward design does not increase the FOC for a 100 gr arrow over what you would get by simply switching to a 125 gr tip. It's a marketing gimmick and that's it. switch to a 125 gr head over a 100 gr head and bam, there's your increae in FOC without shelling out the money for an arrow that has a factory wrap put on the front end.

Being left in the dust? How? I didn't know that all of our arrows where bouncing off so many deer or not zipping through them. People are killing thousands of animals with10% FOC with out issue. Some of you seem to think that without high FOC you can't kill anything. That's simply not the truth. you also make is sound like you can not be very accurate without a slow and heavy arrow. That is also not the truthand very misleading to people whoare new toshooting or don't do their own research to understand all of the factors that go into an arrow performing properly.I'm not disagreeing with the fact that a higher FOC head will impact harder. I'm just disagreeing with the commetns that keep popping up in threads stating that only high FOC and heavy arrows are acceptable for shooting game and anything else will not work.
