Do you guys know what the percentage of FOC should be on a arrow?

i just got thru going over this with moose at lancaster archery. depends on the use he said.

D.Parsons

What do you mean by the use? It is for hunting.

I am no expert by any means but 10-12% is the recommended FOC according to a book I own.

i was picking between 80 and 100 gr glue ons for my 3d arrows. the 80's provided a 8.5% foc. (i ordered some of each). he said that's fine for 3d, but you'd need more for field archery, and i'd imagine more for broadheads. i think i'm around 12% on my broadheads and some guys on here report fine results with 14%- even 16%. hopefully some folks who know, and didn't just ask someone - like me - will respond to what's good for each use mentioned above. i'm just offering 2nd hand knowledge really.

I can tell you guys that my 3D arrows out of the allegiance are flying fine at around 7% and 310+ fps. I have 65 grain screw ins, and inserts in the front of pro 22's along with REALLY heavy 4" vanetecs on the back (9 grains each) along with easton 2115 uni bushings and g nocks. This will be my setup to use this year at the local shoots if I decide to shoot pins class. I was shooting the setup out to 60 yards last week with no issues, I almost piped one at 50 yards actually and smashed the back of the bushing so bad it can't be used or pulled out of the shaft. The nock turned into little bitty pieces I think.

Outdoor target and 3-d, 7-9% works good. For hunting I've had real good results with 12%. For indoors ( 20 yds ) I use more 16+ %, because of the heavy points I use to soften up the huge arrows I use. 200 + grain points.

D.Parsons

With the blazers and 100gr muzzy mine will be at 10.45percent
I guess that will be good enough?
28.5 inches long
shaft weight=276gr
broadhead=100gr
nock=12gr
insert=15gr
fletching=15gr
crestining=15gr=433gr

thanks for the great info guys.

Is the above FOC go good with the set up I described?
