Wow!  After viewing that video I think I'm ready to go back to gun hunting.  Maybe when I retire I'll have time to go through all that effort.

no harder or longer than making any other arrow.

Efoc is not for everyone. But if its something you are into this video and info on here might help.
 I for one, am loving the benifits of EFOC....alot!

Tracker, it doesn't have to be complicated.  When I decided to increase my FOC I selected a shaft with plenty of spine, loaded up the front end with 350 grains and trimmed and bareshafted with it.  It now flies like a dart with the benefit of 23% FOC.  I only went with 23% to try out the increased FOC to see if I like it - I do and at some point will increase it some more.

Well, Ed, I've read and reread all your published studies and you've taught me a lot.  I'm going to try the A & A fletch, simply accepting that it must work. But, it's darned hard to back off on 40 years of helical fletching to STABILIZE my arrow flight! Heck, I never even fully accepted using straight offset fletching!

Now, some are swearing the Turbo-Nock is improving accuracy by spinning the arrow as soon as it leaves the string! At 6000 RPM, yet! (turns out that's not so much in a foot of travel!)

But, here we're looking at much less fletch and imparting absolutely NO spin to the shaft?  That just seems backwards.  Bullets and footballs are made to spin for stability.  But, arrows don't have to?  Maybe I'm just dense, but it's not logical to me.  What am I missing?
