Overspined withhigh FOC. For hunting perfect spine is really a little underspined.

What are you calling high foc and low foc?


If I had my druthers,I choose an arrow that is VERY SLIGHTLY over spined with about 11% foc for hunting.



But,I can't argue with bumping above 20% and getting an arrow that is stiff(static spine)to shoot well and penetrate great.


I don't think that being between 15% and 19% is best though.These are just numbers and definately aren't set in stone,each setup is slightly different.

i really dont even understand the whole FOC thing. I just get the arrows i like and sight in with them.

When i get into all this high tech stuff i just look at my signature and get what i can afford.
