High foc does make a more forgiving arrow PERIOD,I don't think it is new because I new that without ever reading a study,I have done my own LIMITED test.An arrows weightdefinately plays a role in forgiveness.Speed magnifies flaws.Even light arrows without speed magnify flaws,I found that out while trying to shoot fat shafts for 3-d.

I am not a heavy arrow pusher though,but they have their advantages.



Arthur brings up a great point that goes back to the ORIGINAL intent of this thread,shoulder alignment and proper elbow alignment.I have a great deal of trouble with this because the way my body is shaped.I stated earlierin this thread that my shoulders come around at angles and getting my elbow straight back is next to impossible.(when I try it,extreme tension occurs in my shoulder,not good)Therefore,my draw length being set correctly is CRUCIAL and going short just will not work that well for me.
