So I have only been flinging arrows for three years now. I have been trying to read up as much as I can on arrows, but still have a long ways to go. I am trying to get an new arrow set up for elk season. My first year I shot a 450gr ish arrow. Last year i cut the arrow down to drop weight to 425gr, but my FOC was non existent. I am shooting a PSE stinger 65# 26" (yeah I have short arms). I am trying to get a 27.5"-28" 425gr arrow with a high FOC, but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be appreciated!

Let me stand corrected on draw length, I'm at 26". With my pse G3 and my rest, the shortest I get go is 27.25". Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
First off go with a shorter arrow, it will allow you to add more weight up front and proportionately it will have a higher FOC. So let's figure 26" shafts.....but 25 would be even better. Here we go.... BEA Carnivores....400 6.8 gpi ....177 grain 100 grain brass inserts .....100 grains VPA three bladed 125.... 125 Nock, 3 Norway fusions ....30ish .. All total about 430 with very high FOC
Do what he said. He knows his stuff on arrows, weights, etc. I just look at these posts to see what the people that know what they are doing say it should be.
So an up date to this. My minimal arrow length is 24". So that changes the game a bit. On arrow specs, is their gpi the weight of the bare shaft? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Easton hexx 7.9 gr per inch for a 330 spine you need to check the chart but I think you could use a lighter spine more room for FOC I have found 6 to 8 grains per pound of draw lbs will give you a good set up
I'd stick with what trial said. The black eagles are nice and light which allows you to put all your weight up front, get the same weight as a higher GPI shaft but with much better FOC. VPA are great heads but if you shoot the shorter arrow you may be able to bump up to a 175 grain head for even more weight and FOC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
