Hey trey how are you? Don't see you on the Mathews Forum much anymore. If you don't remember me I am the person that did the mini blazer test for you about a year ago. Anyways what is your thoughts on foc and its importance. My foc at the moment is 6.5 if i go to a 125 head it bumps up to 8.43. If i go with the 125 mechanical head will i be ok. Or what should i do if i decide to go with something like a land shark 125. Thanks Ryan

Those figures are low, did you measure to the tip of the point or the end of the arrow? I would rather have a high FOC than a low FOC for fixed because the lowere the FOC the more prone the arrow is to fishtailing in flight. For fixed I like to see and FOC over 10% when measuring to the end of the shaft for mechanicals 7% might be fine.

I am going to go with a 125 grain mech. Probably the grim reaper or the spitfire. I measured to tip of the point. What do recommend that i do?

The FOC recommendations that easton and others refer to are referenced by measuring to the tip of the arrow not including the point length, that should increase your FOC if you use the arrow overall length not including the point. By including the point you are not comparing apples to apples with the recommendation values. |

Oh i thought i was supposed to include the tip. So I measure the center without point and balance point with point.

The numbers you need are the center of the nock hole to the end of the shaft, divide the first number by 2 for the center, with the point on find the balance point and measure from the center of the nock hole to the balance point. That is how it is calculated for the recommendations. The length of the point is taken into account when finding the balance point. |
