FOC increase
I know!!
Brian at On Target reassured me it was plenty.
I expressed my concern and willingness to jump to a 300 or 250.
When they built them they cut from both ends and they indexed them for me.
I wasn't able to shoot them because I asked them to use the 2 Part Epoxy glue.
My buddy recently recommended me some Deer Crossing Archery arrows.
We was sighting in his new sight at On Target. He hit the wood and broke his arrow, that was the first time it'd ever been shot. I'm still shooting Beman Bowhunter I hit wood with. I'm not not saying the Deer Crossing Archery arrows are a bad arrow. But based on this experience, I'm not willing to shoot them.
He's out hunting this weekend, he's shooting Bloodsports....
I might try them.
I'm also considering Black Eagle Rampage LD in 250.
Just need to save my ¢ first.Last edited by Pushbutton2; 11-15-2014, 07:42 PM.

I know!
That's one of the reasons I started this thread.
According to the Goldtip Website. They recommend a 340 spine for 65 - 69# Draw and 28" - 30" arrows.
My bow draws 68# & my arrows are 29"

I'm getting Gold Tip XT Hunters 8.9 GPI, 340 spine at 29 1/16" long.
I'm adding 50 grains to the tip. Gives me 19.2473% FOC :-)
My est weight is 448 grains. Which puts me at 6.5882 grains/ pound.
My calculations were off on my new arrows.
My BP is 19.125 not 20.125...
That changes my FOC to 15.80645.
I'm a little disappointed.
I really wanted to be knocking on 20%

I should be able to resell them fairly easily...

Bummer about your FOC, but are you starting to see just how difficult it is to get to the numbers you are trying to get to?

I know there other inputs but I would think this is close. If what I have put in is correct
It shows to be .063 weak from a 340 spine. A 300 spine it still shows this to be .023 weak. So program is showing optimal spine is .2772. That is with a 125 gn head and 22 gn insert. Changing to a 50 gn insert it shows a .2682 spine
This is the program in hunting filter.
You can always make a weak arrow shoot. I'm not saying Brian is wrong. Maybe I'm doing the program wrong.
It's just a little more info before you spend your moneyLast edited by enewman; 11-16-2014, 06:58 PM.
