I’m trying to build a heavier FOC arrow with a heavy single bevel broad head. Guessing it’s better to just restart the build then reuse my Easton FMJ’s? Im planning to use a 200 grain Maasai broad head this fall.
You have restored any and all doubt with that one. ?High FOC is overrated. There, I said it.
Shooting traditional, correct?I shoot a GT35/55 shaft, 31" with a 28" draw. 100gr brass insert, 200gr head , 5" feathers...570 grain total weight. Killed prolly 20 head of deer/hogs with it. Great penetration and quick flight recovery.
The negative with the FMJ’s is most likely the inserts. I’m switching the HIT inserts out for their Half out inserts. I may build a separate arrow later with the black eagle arrows. Regardless, I’m not shooting mechanical broadhead as this fallIf you're building high FOC arrows, then you have surely watched some of the Ranch Fairy's videos. If not, you definitely should. He is not a fan of FMJ. I don't have any experience with them personally. I'm shooting black eagle Rampage 250, haven't decided on a broad head for this year. Last year I shot 125 Magnus stinger but want to upgrade that to an iron will or something along those lines.
I’m shooting a 515 grain arrow that’s about 10% foc. I can’t bear to tweak such a great arrow just because some people say I should. I think with modern compounds, high foc is not the be all end all some think it is. Although I am a fan of a heavy arrow and I don’t think high foc will hurt.High FOC is overrated. There, I said it.
