    Currently shooting GT Kinetics 340s, 125g Magnum stinger buzzcuts and no insert weights. From my measuremt calculations using the Easton method I'm calculating 10-11 FOC. I'm wanting to try and get near 15. How much weight inserts would I need to add?
    Current bow setup is a Mission Blaze at 65lbs 28.5 inch draw. Total arrow weight right now is 456g.

    I can find out for you if you'd give me the arrow length carbon to carbon, nock weight , what vanes and 3 or 4 fletch, current insert weight and if you're using any wraps and the weight of them

    Guessing on your shaft length at 27.5" and 28" and assuming you're using stock components (including Q2i Raptor vanes), here is where your FOC is right now. Don't pay attention to velocity. Don't know what weight you have on the string

    27.5

    A 20gr insert weight in each shaft will put you over 14% FOC

    Regardless of what the vanes are, it should be pretty close. Glad I could help!
