Set up for EFOC arrows.

What Terry and Jason said!! I'm still using the same Bow, broadhead and arrow combo as basically 26 years ago.No problem tipping critters over.

I'm not sure why this works as well as it does but I use 2 different set ups and they both work very well out of a multitude of bows and draw weights. 1st, set up is a goldtip 3555 either black shaft or the traditional,(traditional weighs in about 30 grains heavier) it is full length (30 inches) and a 100 grain brass insert and a 175 grain tip, this set up spines out on Stu's calc. at jsut over 32 lbs BUT it flys better than great out of longbows and recurve up to 62lbs, ??? the total arrow weight is 540 grains and the foc is 21%,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
the 2nd set up is a carbon express heritage 150 cut to 30 inches and as above with the 100 grain brass insert and 175 grain tip, also with same results, this set up is a bit heavier at 620 grains, and spines out on stu's calc. at just over 37 lbs,,, paper tunes a bullet hole with several different draw weights as I said up to 62 lbs and down to 49 lbs, don't ask me to explain ???

Right on, Terry. People have been trying to reinvent the wheel forever, but if it's round, it rolls!

Both animal were shot with a Carbon arrow setup to 21.5%FOC The bear with a 54# longbow and I had to give the arrow a hard pull to remove it from the ground after it passed through. The buck with a 61# longbow with the same results complete pass through and energy to spare. I used Two different broadheads a Snuffer weighted up to 225gr on the bear and a Muzzy Phantom 220gr on the buck.
