- Divide the arrow’s length (distance from the bottom of the nock groove to the shaft’s end) by 2.
- Find the balance point. …
- Subtract the center of the arrow measurement (calculated in Step 1) from the balance point (calculated in Step 2).
- Multiply Step 3’s answer by 100.
What is a good arrow weight for whitetail?
A deer hunter can get away with a lighter arrow when the shot is perfect. But what if it isn’t? That is when you need all the momentum you can muster. Personally, I believe the best hunting arrow/broadhead combination in one that weighs at least 400 grains.
What is a good FOC for an arrow?
In the archery world, F.O.C. stands for “front-of-center.” FOC describes the percentage of the arrow’s total weight that is located in the front half of the arrow. … Easton recommends an arrow with 10-15% F.O.C. for hunting setups and optimal accuracy – especially at long distances.
What does an arrow spinner do?
An inexpensive arrow spinner can increase your downrange accuracy. If your arrow has a dent, isn’t straight, or has some other imperfection that can’t be seen by looking at the arrow, the Arrow Inspector™ from Pine Ridge Archery will reveal if something is wrong.
What are arrow inserts used for?
Basically, this is a device that removes excess material from the shaft to make sure your cuts are even. If you don’t do this, your insert can sit at an angle, which means your point won’t be in perfect alignment with the shaft.
What is a deep six Broadhead?
Deep Six is the mini-sized insert and broadhead thread standard that enabled the production of a smaller broadhead-compatible ultra-micro diameter arrow shaft. With more penetration available to hunters, Deep Six thread broadheads, inserts, and arrows have proved their worth in the field.
Can you heat carbon arrows?
No, you can’t heat the shaft…Apply heat to a field point and remove the insert that way!
What arrows does ranch fairy use?
Something that interested me in the latest The Hunting Public video is that Ranch Fairy says the heavy arrow/high FOC is a Plan B arrow. What he means by this, is that yes, shot placement is key and if you hit where you want every time then you could kill them with a field point.
How do you remove an epoxied arrow insert?
slide a drill bit into the back end, just smaller then the shaft. Then use swing it to slap the HIT. It will take a few swings but eventually they will come loose just make sure no one is standing around when the insert comes out. Google “removing cured epoxy”.
Can you reuse arrow inserts?
Yes. You said, “Or you’ll cut into your inserts if you aren’t cutting enough length off, most inserts are longer then the one inch the OP needed cut off.” I said that you don’t need to cut all the way through or even into the insert.
What causes arrow wobble?
Mechanical release aids remove the left-right waggle, but the pressure comes in the vertical plane (from the string), and the rest only contacts the arrow from the bottom – meaning the arrow wobbles up and down.
Do arrows spin when fired?
Do arrows really spin while in flight? Absolutely! The arrow’s fletchings – feathers, plastic vanes or curled plastic wings – steer the arrow in flight, helping it catch the air and spin for a straight flight pattern.
What happens if arrow spine is too stiff?
If the arrow’s spine is too weak or too stiff, the arrow will not correct itself as soon as it should while in flight. If that arrow is weak and continues to flex (has a low spine rating), it’s going to veer off target. Likewise, if the arrow is unforgivingly stiff, it also won’t follow the path the archer intends.
How do you make high FOC arrows?
You can increase or decrease your FOC by changing arrow length, arrow grains per inch (GPI), point weight, and the weight of your fletchings and nock. High FOC generally results from increasing your point weight by adding a heavier insertor bumping up your field point or broadhead weight.
Is 15% FOC enough?
Foc between 10-15% is optimal….
Are 340 or 400 arrows heavier?
New, raw arrows measure around 33 inches when shipped by the manufacturer. As you cut those arrows to fit your draw length, you make them stiffer. That’s why Gold Tip recommends the 400 spine for a 27-inch arrow shot at 60 pounds, as compared to the 340 at 30 inches.
