Really enjoying your channel. It's very informative and clear. I'm just about to build my first batch of heavier arrows and this will really help me figure out exactly what I want. Much appreciated and look forward to more.
I'm going to be using 30" serius Orion with 135 grn insert and collar and 200 grn broadhead with 12 grn bleeder. 712 grn total my bow is the lift 33 80lb set to 84 lb with 80 percent let off. I'm pinning a dot at 100 yds. If the deer, pronghorn etc. Don't jump the string, they're not going far. And there is hardly any sound at all when fired.
@theeverydaybowhunter I'm wanting to start making content. I have my channel set up. Maybe I'll record my chrono test and upload that as a first vid. If I can figure everything out I'll post my hunts. Thank you for your content. I've learned a lot from you.
@@tyronechatley5429 I agree, that’s why I say it’s an estimate. It’s the best tool we have to figure out arrow weight before we build the arrow. After that you still need a chronograph. I watched over 100 videos on bows being tested out of the box and I will say it is getting better than it was even just a few years ago. They know tons of people are going to test them and post the results now.
If you have a chronograph speed for your current set up adjust the IBO/ATA speed in the calculators until it gives you the matching FPS value for that grain weight of arrow. Now you’ll be able to plug in any arrow weight and get its speed + - a couple FPS.
It doesn’t affect them at all. What you do after you find your total arrow weight is to then find the arrow you want to use and build it out, focusing on putting 13% or more of your weight up front. The grains per inch of your arrow shaft and the length of your arrow will show you a lot when building out. A longer arrow tends to be harder to get a high FOC if it’s a high gpi arrow versus a shorter one. That being said, the heavier your overall arrow weight is, the easier it is to build a high FOC arrow. I hope this answers your question.
@@theeverydaybowhunter Thanks! I have a short draw, 26.5". I'm shooting a 440 grain arrow with 20 percent FOC. I appreciate your info. The calculator is easy to use and made me feel good about my set up.
I can’t believe people fall into this stuff. I shoot what I want. Shoot what you can afford and what does the job. 29” draw at 62 pounds I shoot an over all arrow eight of 417 gr and super flat trajectory and it gets the job done every single time and guess what I don’t even know what my FOC is and I don’t care what it is.

@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing I really appreciate that. Thank you and good luck!
Good commentary!
Thanks!
Enjoyed the archery calculator
Thanks!

Any idea what speed those are doing?
@@madwe2269 I'm checking them on the chrono this weekend
@@madwe2269 I'm putting them through the chrono this weekend.
Damn! What a setup! I’d love to see the devastation that’s going to bring.

Ibo rating is a bad lie straight to our faces yet we all just accept it

How does F.O.C. affect these numbers?

@@obsproductions4424 thanks.
@@Verticalbowoutdoors some people like to optimize their setups and enjoy working to make everything they do better. It’s not for everyone.
