there is no "best ratio" the most important thing is to have your arrows spined and tuned properly. then you can play with differend carbon arrow combination that shoot with a high foc.
for instance i can shoot goldtip 3555 with 125 grain tip, i can also shoot a gt 5575 with 225 up front, they spined well in my bow and shoot the good, now i chose the 5575's for the added weight and added foc.
experiment and have fun

Now that we've exhausted all possibilities, lets get started.

Historically, and in my experience 12% was considered ideal for hunting arrows. With 10-14 acceptable.

Like several has pointed out the is no best ratio or optimum. Aerodynamically speaking, there is no such thing as too much FOC. I've been playing a lot with extreme FOC and the further forward the balance point is, the better everything gets. Folks like bow/arrow combinations that are forgiving, the further forward the FOC is, the faster the arrow will correct if disturbed, be it a poor release, twig, or small children....O.L.

Edit, I read that one paper by Don Morrison, he states arrows will drop faster with a more forward FOC, that is a myth. All else being equal a farther forward balance point will shoot flatter cause it doesn't burn off as much energy correcting itself...O.L.
