Default RE: Thus the arrow cannot really fly

So Cyclone brings up an important point. Since the magnetic pull doesn't effect the weight of the aluminum and carbon shafts, yet it does effect my broadheads some, does this mean I really have a higher FOC if I shoot toward the Magnetic North Pole and less if I shoot toward the South Pole. And since this must be true I really have to watch out if I'm shooting East or West and make the appropriate allowances. This really explains how I missed some deer over the last 30 years. I knew I was better than I appeared to be. It wasn't my fault at all... It was Mother Nature. I think we should just dig up this magnetic pole now that we have GPS's. We don't need compasses anymore. Then I would become a real hunter. If I shoot West do I allow for side ways pull to the right or do I allow for a simulated lower FOC.
