Allek, just so you know a high foc arrow can be had but keeping overall weight down thanks to the lighter carbon shafts. An example is one of my setups, a 50# bow shooting a 479gr total arrow weight (9.5gpp) and sporting a 200gr broadhead.

I shoot 250gr up front on my carbon arrows.... a 150gr brass insert and a 150gr point/broadhead. I used to shoot aluminum arrows that were right at 10gpp with "normal" FOC. I switched to carbon arrows that are right at 10gpp but with a much higher FOC. The higher FOC arrows far out perform the lower FOC arrows as far as penetration goes. I get far more complete passthroughs with the higher FOC arrows.

I live in the States but there are not hardly any archery shops over here that have much of a trad supply selection either. I have to order most of what I need. 3Rivers Archery is a great place to order just about everything from (I do not know what it would cost to ship stuff to Australia though).

On a side note, I will be hunting in Australia from March 20th thru April 10th out of Brisbane and can't wait for the adventure to begin.
