FOC % Question
« on: April 21, 2009, 01:37:00 AM »
Ok guys,

I found the length of my arrow measuring from the base of the nock groove to the very front tip of the point. Measurement was 30 1/2" . The center of the arrow is 15 1/4" Then I found the pivot point and measured from the center point. That measured 5" . Now how do I do the math to figure out the FOC % ? I never was very good with math when I was in school.

Thanks Gang

Hi,  Pop your measurments into the calculator on the above link.

Hunting was hazardous, but at least it guaranteed the freedom of the individual.

There is no doubt that the onset of farming saw the end of leasure for the majority of people, who were destined to toil in the fields.

Try this,

5/30,5 = .1639 ( 16.4%)
