I’m learning a lot here!! Good post Ed!!!!  (-P (-P (-P

BowEd:
That's good. A lot of this you'll learn on your own.You just gotta keep trying.

TimBo:
Pretty sure mine are 125 grain points as well.  I start there and use heavier ones to reduce the spine if needed.  It is really satisfying when you get one that flies like a dart - it feels different than a parallel shaft with a more "normal" balance point. 

BowEd:
I've always liked shoot shafts myself.I have some multiflora shoot shafts here too.They stay straight for me very well here.They average about the same FOC% as the privet but about 100 grains less overall in mass weight set up the same way.How far ahead of overall center is your balance point on that multiflora rose shaft?

Allyn T:
I just listened to a podcast with Dr.Ashby it was really compelling stuff. He favors foc of at least 30% and arrow weight of 650 or higher. He also said tapered shafts penetrate the best followed by parallel and barrel taper came in last.
