Getting higher FOC on a primitive head

<< < (2/2)

Black Moshannon:
Ok I will take advantage of the natural taper and stop making them so even front to back. Looking at BowEd’s photo, I was thinking about my sizes and I can’t really go down much below 11/32 on the nock end cause of the wild rose having a pretty thick inner pith and I like to leave the walls a little thick to add strength. Overall I think my main issue now will be that most of my arrows will be somewhat overspined since I dropped my average bow weight to 45 pounds. Its going to be a bigger issue with the bone headed arrows since the tips are so light. I make my steel broadheads at around 190-200 grains which is helping to add flex to the shaft. I really shoot well with the lower bow weight and it seems like it’s easier to finish the bow with less set, probably cause im working with a lower weight

BowEd:
Yes my multi flora rose shafts are not as much tapered as the dogwoods.The pith in multi flora rose leaves the nock end a scooch under 11/32" inch also.Leaving the point end at 23/64".A person can put a wood or horn insert in them if they want.More work though.
They are great candidates for fore shafts too.
Good heavy arrows though as is.580 to 620 grain range with 125 grain tips.Not quite as much FOC % as my dogwoods.
My black raspberry canes here are just too big in diameter with a larger pith in them yet than multi flora rose.I don't use them.
