Yes...ANYTIME you add weight to an arrow and get it tuned you are going to gain penetration(till you max out your set ups window)....so, its not JUST added FOC....some yes, but more just the addition of the weight itself no matter if its all in the head, the shaft or a combo of both.

Joe, I love your head design and quality....hope to hunt big enough game with them sometime in the future.... and would LOVE to see your version of an el grande  

Also....click here if you are interested in the origin of FOC experiments...

You would think that someone with a fixed video camera could take video of different arrows that weighed the same and had drastically different foc and video the trajectory at different distances to really evaluate the difference. I would love to see a graph of that.

I have shot different degrees of FOC up to 32 % and can't see any trajectory difference as long as arrow weights are close.I don't have a chrono right now but it would be interesting to compare speeds from say 30 yds.

I know guys who shoot 525 up front. I agree with Terry however, I myself like between 175 and 250 tops and find I have been shooting 190 grains up front. A 50 grain brass insert and 125 grain broadhead and 15 grain footing. This is what flies best for me out of my .500 spined arrows and the weight of bow I am shooting. I like a pretty flat arrow and I can get any bow quiet without worrying about weighting my arrow, a lil' bowhush and hushpuppies in the right spots and you are good to go! Shawn
