Default FOC QUESTION???

HEY GUYS MY FOC ON MY PARTICULAR SETUP IS 10.28. MY QUESTION IS IF I SWITCH TO FEATHERS I WILL PROBABLY BRING MY FOC UP TO ABOUT 12 OR 13. ON MY SETUP I SHOOT VANES OFFSET FLETCH AND MY MUZZY 100 GRAINS GROUP RIGHT WITH MY FIELD POINTS. I GUESS WHAT I AM ASKING IS IF I CHANGE TO FEATHERS AND CHANGE MY FOC DO YOU THINK I WILL HAVE TO GO TO A DIFFERENT WEIGHT BROADHEAD OR WILL FEATHERS WITH A HELICAL FLETCH COMPENSATE MY FOC AND STILL ALLOW MY BROADHEADS TO GROUP WITH MY FIELDPOINTS. THANKS GUYS FOR ANY INPUT.

If your broadheads are hitting hte same spot as your field points, why mess with anything?

Bowman - This is something that I have worked with for a couple of years. I am shooting 350 grain arrows with hard right helicals and 85 grain broad heads are about the heavest I can shoot and maintain my FOC. I guesse to answer your question It would depend on your arrow length first off.

Can I ask why your are thinking about going to feathers?

Also if you stay with a broadhead that raises your FOC that does not nessisarly meen you won't group with your fied points, it will mean your arrow will be flying more nose down and take away kinetic energy { knock down power}. Are you shooting carbon's or aluminum's? To much FOC {from what my Pro has told me }does not make much difference in aluminum's as it does in carbons.

If your are getting the speed you want with Platic veins I would not change.

THANKS MAN,
BY THE WAY I SHOOT 27 IN. CARBON EXPRESS TERMINATORS. I JUST HEARD THAT FEATHERS WITH A HELICAL FLETCH IS THE WAY TO GO. BUT BY CHANGING TO FEATHERS IT WILL RAISE MY FOC JUST CAUSE THE WEIGHT OF THE FEATHERS IS LESS THAN THE WEIGHT OF PLASTIC VANES.
