FOC & Hunting Arrow Weight Question/Help?
I shoot a r/d takedown longbow 45# @28". My draw is about 27-28". I shoot 3Rivers Traditional Only carbon arrows 500 spine, 31.7" end of insert to belly of nock. I have arrows set up with a 3 gpi weight tube and some set up without. The arrows are set up as follows:
w/o tube, 200gr head, 511gr total weight, 20% FOC
w/o tube, 175gr head, 486gr total weight, 17.7% FOC
w/o tube, 145gr head, 456gr total weight, 14.5% FOC
with tube, 200gr head, 606gr total weight, 16% FOC
with tube, 175gr head, 581gr total weight, 15.3% FOC
with tube, 145gr head, 551gr total weight, 12.1% FOC
I deer hunt, and I understand that a sharp broadhead and a well placed shot are the main things but I would hate to know that I would have gotten more penetration or pass throughs with a certain type of FOC & weight set up. From the folks that have experience would I be better off with a certain set up, or does it even matter? I have read some of Dr. Ashby's information and it makes sense. I am not going for speed I am going more for quietness. Any advice will be appreciated!

Re: FOC & Hunting Arrow Weight Question/Help?
Your very first arrow listed will do the job. You have enough weight and plenty of FOC. That will blow thru any deer. A heavy arrow is good but there is such a thing as too heavy. You are looking for an arrow that will give you the best performance out of your bow. I would go with arrow number 1.
