I tried to years ago.  I won't ever do that again!  The arrow dove hard left and buried a Ribtek into the side of my shed.  :o  I now just bareshaft with a field point because its just too dangerous.

My FOC runs 16 to 19%.  I do it because it confirms if I have done my process okay, or really well. 
Too many are satisfied with "good enough".

Agree with Baylee and well thought out by the way.My arrows end up in the 16-19% front of center range but dont consider that xtreme.I hope no one thinks Im condeming any one for shooting broadheads with bareshafts because If I have learned anything over the years there is lots of different paths to getting the results we all long for.I strive for as perfect arrow flight as possible and never go with the "good enough" train of thought....

GCook, To say someone that doesnt shoot there broadheads with bareshafts are settling for "good enough" results is just silly...
