        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.

          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%

              The problem with charts they don't take account of dynamic spine that's the good thing about ontarget program I can make a 340 with 50 gn and a 125 gn tip shoot good but that arrow is 26.5 long if this Bria guy is saying it will work I would go for it

                Brian's the owner, and he has a 31+" Draw length as well. Worst that can happen is they don't work out.

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

                  Let me say it for you then. Deer crossing arrows are a bad arrow. I would not reccomend them for any situation. They are cheap(poor quality) arrows.

                  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 knew it was going to be a challenge! I have some great friends on here, who are far more experienced than me, that told me it was going to be :-)

                          I can't wait to see these bad boys. I'm more excited about these arrows than her. Then again she won't understand the thump behind them !

                              Ok I just got in from hunting. I open the ontarget program. All I put in is the Moxie bow at 68 lb. 32 in draw and Beamon ics speed arrow. With a 125 tip

                              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 money
