Hunting FOC

[Hogie135]

What kind of FOC should I be looking at for big game hunting? Just measured mine and came up with an FOC of 9.8%. Everything I've read that seems to be on the low end of what's recommended.

Good read on it here

I think it's more important that the arrows fly true, you can hit where you need, and you have a sharp broadhead up front.

I think that's true. Think I'm just starting to over think things.

Well tuned arrows with higher FOC can have smaller vanes and fly better in the wind

Having just been through a new arrow build, I have been considering FOC among other specs as well. One thing I didn't think of that a bow tech had mentioned is that luminocks will add weight to the back of the arrow, decreasing your FOC. I'm sitting at 11.3% FOC without them and I think it will stay that way. I'm sure if I bumped up to 125g broadheads I could run the luminocks and stay over 10% FOC, but 125g broadheads in deep six format don't seem readily available.
