Do you have any Idea what foc has to do with arrows?

Its only the most critical thing you could ever imagine.

Geesh. Whats wrong with these people blacktail?

No seriously, Russ and myself shoots over 20%.

I dont, but it sure does pi$$ off the 3d guys when they have to pull my arrows:D

Most expert archers agree that an FOC value that is between 7 and 10 percent will produce the best compromise between stability and a flat trajectory. The American Society for Testing and Materials, in their specification for measuring balance point, state that a value of 9% is typical. But, they also state that the range can be as wide as 7% to 18% while still producing good arrow flight characteristics.

I am only here to offer my two cents.I have done alot of homework on getting my bow to perform at the top level it can.I get you want to make me look stupid but I am a little curious to your knowledge.I am not here to insult people and I can't help but to assume you must be involved in PETA.why else would you not want to have my post recognized

Dr. Ashby explains how to get max penetration and best guiding charateristics, more is better in this case.

are we after maximum pennitration or are we after accuracy in this post

Blacktail:

I'm not talking about myself.....but I'll offer a little advice.

When you're only capable of broken Chinese, don't go into Dragon Kim's Rest. and start speaking it. They speak the language, quite fluently, and they'll know you don't.

It'll certainly affect your ability to adjust your arrow length (longer),now, won't it? Unless you're willing to adjust draw length and/or tip weight to achieve optimal tune.....and you pre-cut your arrows, you've denied yourself a crucial tool.

Honestly...this is commendable. But you're being (IMO) a little short-sighted in how one arrives, there. There is definitely more than one way to skin a cat (or tune a bow). There are NOT, however, truths that can be denied.

Agreed, there is no need to jump all over someone just trying to help others. Come on guys, we are all here just to enjoy and talk about hunting we dont need people naggin on each other like that.

Per usual, both.

People have different tools for different jobs. I myself am not a field archer, nor do I shoot my trad bows at 80 yards. Field trad archers look for different things than I do.

Most here are hunters, and as hunters quietness, stability, penetration all matter first and formost.
