Does anyone shoot arrows over 10gpp?

I have a whole progression of arrows right now (for different weights of bows) and it seems that if you want at least 19 to 20% FOC your going to be shooting at a least 11 gpp and maybe a little more. All of mine are at least 11.5 gpp and some quite a bit more. They buck the wind very well and don't loose a lot of velocity during flight (lighter arrows do). They hit like a hammer. So I guess the answer is yes many times over. I have sets in 400, 340, 300 and 280. All starting at full length and then with some groups cut down, but none shorter than 31. So I can pick up a just about any bow and have an arrow that is really close to tune right away, with a steady progression of spine. Actually I find that they don't have to that close in length, with some of the gaps in sizes at a half an inch, and I can change between 200, 225, 250 and 300 grain points to fine tune things better. I probably have a little too much time on my hands LOL.
I do have a few sets that are really heavy, with really high FOC, but I personally feel that around 22% FOC is a enough. Most of the setups that I use with carbon foam will gap at 60 yards or so, if I keep the weight down to 12 or 13 ggp. and I don't think that I loose any of the  benefits of heavier arrows there.

I shoot 12 to 13 gpp arrows, works great for me, I don't shoot over 20 yds at deer so it works great for me.
