Title: extreme FOC spine chart
Post by: Pack on April 23, 2008, 04:34:00 PM
With all the new interest in extreme FOC with carbon arrows I was wondering if anyone has seen or is interested in constructing an arrow selection chart for heavy points on carbon arrow.  I have seen many individual posts asking for help in selecting carbons, so there must be a need.  I shoot wood, but would like to experiment with some of this new information.  I know there are many brands of carbons, so maybe it could be done by deflections.  I would think that would get you in the ballpark.

With all the different setups people shoot with I think it would be a waste of time.Easton's charts are closer than one people would come up with.  :D   jmo

Easton's charts don't have a selection for 200 or 300 grains on the end of the arrow.

Pack all I am saying is I don't see how it could work.For example I can't shoot a full length 500 carbom from a 45lb bow with 100gn point because it is so weak.The next guy will have 300gns on the front shooting the same arrow from a 55lb bow.I just think a chart that is close is impossible.Very few setups I see posted would work out of any bow I ever shot but seems to work for others.I really don't think you could make a chart that was close to working out of many bows.jmo
