I am gonna make this short, as it probably won't go thru like the other 3 trys. Danny Miller only sells the LII's w/ 4" vanes and brass inserts vs. alum. 357 gr vs. 431gr. Email me for full story, but I'm here to tell ya, these are a winner. They are why I don't advise the Right Stuff package for new Excals, plus the fact you can save about $25. on the Varizone. My 431 gr. LII's balance at 14" from nock w/ 100 gr. points. 20" OAL for FOC of 20% according to Rebs info.

Different types of arrow shaft have, based on experience, different recommended values for the FOC, ideally:
Aluminum shafts: 7-10%
Aluminum/carbon composites: 10-13%
Carbon Shafts: 13-16%

RE: bolt weight
FOC is important and most people don't know about it. On my old hhorton supper magI shoot alum. arrows and after discovering FOC it was dead nutz on every time, just had to add two of those real thin warshers. But when I got my new horton and started shooting carbons it was so accurate I didn't bother with the FOC.
