We all know the value of arrow weight ( I like 12-14gr per lb of bow) but....
my 3555 gold tips are lighter ( 9.8 gr/# of bow) with 18% foc.
I just got some griz stik woodies, my arrow weight went up ( 12 gr/# bow) but my foc went to 14.5%.
I might could cut the woodies another .5" but would that half inch get the shaft that much stiffer that I could increase point weight more?
I don't think so.
Both set ups fly good. Of course the woodies hit like a tank and are super quiet, the gold tips fly great but don't hit as hard. Again we ALL know a heavier arrow is best, but.....
More arrow weight or more FOC?
Why not both! Shoot tapered shafts!!! (read with sarcastic tone). Soon I will but right now this is what I got.
