I have messing around with extreme foc and heavy weight arrows. I had some components laying around like 4 340 spined arrows with 75gr inserts i used those then i 2 part epoxied a 300 gr field point into a 145 gr glue on zwickey. Now just the weight out front is somewhere near 527 grains. End weight was 842 grains and shoots like a dart. As long as i keep it around 20 and under yards i dont notice a drop in trajectory. And ive never heard my bow quieter. These aernt practical but they sure are fun to mess with

Just for giggles, you ought to post something about this on Archery Talk in the traditional forum. I was doing some reading there last night and there were guys saying that they are shooting 600 and 700 spine arrows cut at about 30 inches out of 45 pound bows. I use 400s with close to 250 up front on 50 pound bows. They never did explain how they got the total arrow weight up to a safe level.
Have you done a total arrow weight calculation? I'm not believing that you are not seeing a lot of drop. Shoot those things for about fifteen minutes then pick up a normal weighted arrow and I'll bet you will start hitting six to eight inches higher until your brain compensates. I notice immediately when I grab an arrow that is a hundred grains more than normal. It's is like I am trying to shoot a broom stick.

Ive tried the same arrows with 300gr heads and the flight was extremely erratic. I shoot all uncut arrows. I was just interested for comparison purposes.
