340 or 300

[JW]

Just so yall know, he is a 32" draw. Not sure he can shoot a 29" arrow. Maybe a 30"?

I can shoot 2.5 inches shorter than my dl. If I wanted. I don't tho.

Here's your FOC with different nocks.
Carnivore 8.5 gpix29"
Bh 125
Blazers 18
Insert 11
Glue 3
Lumenock 27.5
Standard nock 10
Finished weights are 431(lumenock) or 413.5 (std nock)
Foc for Lumnock arrow is 10.94% and for std nock 13.05%

I can run it for different length arrows if you'd like also.

Ehhhh. That's more of an experience thing. There are calculators for it. But muddy can prolly get dang close just from having the numbers. 29" arrow??? And that measurement is from the throat of the nock to the back edge of the insert.

Post #6 & 7 have pictures of how I measured my arrow. I think I'm doing it right.

I wish I could buy each and everyone of you guys a cup of coffee for taking the time to help me out! It is truly a blessings to me in so many ways.
I can't thank you all enough!!

Close!!! Throat of the nock to the back edge of the insert not the front edge. But yes if you went to the back of the insert it looks like it would come out to 29" on the nose.

PB, I'm just down the road from you. If ya want Bloodsport or DCA, give me a shout. I can figure your FOC, total weight, etc

even a fool like me gets lucky once a millennium :-)

Ok. So I was on Goldtip.com and I was messing with their FOC calculator.

Is it better to add a weighted insert and keep a 100 grain head. Easy to find..

Blazers weigh 6.2 grains each.
Shield cut feathers 2.4 grains each. If I switch to feathers it gives me more FOC. Trade off is you can't/shouldn't use feathers with a Whisker Biscuit.... If I switch to a G5 Halo type rest, can I use feathers?

[bowhuntntxn]

What magic FOC number are you trying to get to? IMO if you put that much weight up front with that little on the back you will be under spined even with a 300. And if you go up in spine you will go over your desired total arrow weight.

Shoot a 300 spined arrow with a 125 grain fixed blade head and blazer vanes. You should be able to kill anything with that.
