QuikSpins and FOC
 

Well I love the way my arrows are shooting with the quikspins and field points. I have decided on using the NAP Crossfire heads this year. Well I just shot them and YUK! I could actually see the arrow fall at 20 yards. I put the crossfire on an arrow with feathers and it flew perfect. Anything I can do to get the FOC up with the quikspins? Is this even the problem?

My setup is Goldtip Pro 5575 28.25 inches. I have the xTec pulling about 62 lbs at 29 inch draw. The FOC with feathers is about 11 and the FOC with the quikspins is about 8. I weighed the quikspins and feathers on a hornady powder scale. 3 quikspins are 37 gr. and 3 feathers are 9gr. Quite a difference. I know I could switch to a 125 head but the crossfire is only a 100. Maybe I will have to give up the quikspins.

Just looking for ideas to keep quikspins and crossfire. Thanks for the help.

Good Question!

If you can get good arrow flight, say out to 40 yds or so with Fixed heads, why change?? I have not tried the quickspins, but my guess is that due to increased weights and drag your arrows are going to lose speed and energy much quicker than say a straight fletch setup. For me, I want the flattest trajectory possible so that for hunting purposes exact yardage estimation is less critical. I shoot a 73 lb. 29" draw Hoyt Ultratec, acc 3-60's with 100 gr. thunderheads, and 4" straight vanes. With proper tuning I can use 1 pin out to 30 yards with tight groups all the way to 50 yards like darts. If I can get that, so can you, and if you can, why would you want to slow the whole operation down with heavy spiralling veins?
BTW, I like what I see in the Crossfire also. Good luck with the veins!
