FOC %

<< < (3/3)

TimBo:
I checked it again - 27.5" overall, balance point is 3.25" ahead of center (13.75"), FOC should be 11.8% if I am doing it right.  I really need to do up a few more rose arrows. 

Morgan:
I like, and learn from discussions like this and think they should be pinned in the home page so as not to be buried. Some discussions are redundant and some offer great I gotta a glance, this is the latter. The redundant conversations are important as well though because they are most always started by someone just cutting their teeth on what they are working on, and there are most always new viewpoints offered.

BowEd:
I will say this though yet as far as us who deer hunt with these primitive bows.Most shots are'nt beyond 20 yards and most shots that I take are in the 10 to 15 yard range,so even a 475 grain arrow will put a deer down yet.
I just try to put the odds a little more with a higher momentum with these heavier shoot shafts.It leads to more pass throughs and a better blood trail.
It's a lot easier to get higher FOC with carbide shafts opposed to wooden shafts.
These type arrows are suited best for short range hunting & good penetration.Under 30 yards.For distance shooting they suffer from the extra weight up front and will nose dive shorter distance wise compared to a central balanced shaft.
