RE: Ya'll can keep the speed....I'm goin heavy.
Maybe I need to go heavier. I am shooting 27" Easton Nano's(428gr.) at 303fps with 89# KE and 14% FOC. I used to shoot 445 gr. arrows but the shop got me into these new arrows[:-]

RE: Ya'll can keep the speed....I'm goin heavy.
It really depends on what you consider light, fast, heavy, slow.
Your numbers to me are semi heavy and semi fast, not heavy and slow. Maybe remain the title, semi heavy. [8D]
Heavy, now go up over 550 grains and slow, down to let's say 240 fps. It's about FOC, matched sets (arrows/bow), more than adequate fletch and tuning.
Seriously Don, congrats on the setup, I bet it kills the deer as dead as last years setup.

RE: Ya'll can keep the speed....I'm goin heavy.
I don't think any of that stuff matters. My 52 year old father hunts with a browning bow from the 80's, and he's shooting aluminums and has no problem knocking them down.
DEAD is DEAD
With that said, I shoot theeaston axis 400 grainwith nanotube technology.

RE: Ya'll can keep the speed....I'm goin heavy.
Okay gang...help me understand FOC. Front of Center, I presume...but how do you measure the % that is FOC, and what % FOC should you have??
Since hunting boars a few years ago, I've really liked heavier arrows. 285 fps w/my BowTech Tribute (480 +/- grains). Easton 300's (some say they don't make them anymore...???).
Thanks!

did I do this correct FOX or Mobo
=SUM(17.25-(27/2))*200/27

I am a bit of a simpleton,I need pictures.[8D]
I thought you might have been headed in that direction but I can never tell with you.
3/30=.1x100=10%
