There's so much wrong with that statement, I don't even know where to start. First of all, consistent pass throughs aren't just about speed. Secondly, increasing FOC is beneficial at ANY arrow speed. Higher FOC improves overall flight characteristics of the arrow. To me, better penetration is just icing on the cake. Sure, you can increase FOC with different weight broadheads or a brass insert, but broadheads are expensive and inserts are glued in. The FACT system lets you fine tune your arrow to your bow. The whole point of the system is flexibility. Want to try a new broadhead, but its only available in 100 grains? No problem - just add a FACT weight to the back of the insert. Injure your shoulder at work and need to drop your draw weight? No problem - just add some FACT weights, so your arrows don't end up being too stiff.
