Billy, If you do everything right you are good as is. What I noticed was that with a sloppy release, like when my fingers were cold or if the feathers got wet, then the arrow with a low foc didn't stabilize as fast or as well as the one with the foc up in the 12% range. I envy you having machine shop to play around with, I'm probably better off that I don't though, I don't have enough time as it is! Rick

Silvertip,

First, I didn't read all of the postings, so I appologize if I'm repeating something here.

I also shoot Silvertips recurves and longbows in the 65 - 70# range. For arrows I use GrizzlySticks and 2219's. On the business end of both shafts, a use a 110 gr. steal adapter and a 125 gr. Wensel Woodsman. I find this combination forgiving and very deadly.
