FOC of 20% too high for hunting?

I am looking at two different arrows and have come up with the following:

Carbon Express Piledriver Hunter .005 $105 450/300 spine

130/11 10.76 FOC Optimum Spine 350 Weight 637 grains
150/11 11.81 FOC Optimum Spine 341 Weight 657 grains
170/11 13.04 FOC Optimum Spine 331 Weight 677 grains
190/11 14.20 FOC Optimum Spine 322 Weight 697 grains
220/11 15.80 FOC Optimum Spine 309 Weight 727 grains

Great for when I go really heavy, but not much good for anything less than 190 grain broadheads.

GT Kinetic XT .003 $114

130/50 16.40 FOC Optimum Spine 327 Weight 582 grains
130/100 19.32 FOC Optimum Spine 306 Weight 632 grains
150/20 15.73 FOC Optimum Spine 331 Weight 572 grains
150/50 17.66 FOC Optimum Spine 318 Weight 603 grains
150/100 20.36 FOC Optimum Spine 298 Weight 652 grains
190/20 18.25 FOC Optimum Spine 314 Weight 613 grains
190/50 19.90 FOC Optimum Spine 302 Weight 643 grains
190/100 22.25 FOC Optimum Spine 283 Weight 693 grains
220/20 19.90 FOC Optimum Spine 302 Weight 642 grains
220/50 21.38 FOC Optimum Spine 290 Weight 673 grains

Great for heavy and light broadheads, but high FOC.

Is an FOC of 22% too high, and how will it affect penetration, or flight?

 

Dr. Ashby says NO NO NO...he'd be smiling with that FOC all the way to the taxidermist :D

 

I like my 19.6% foc.

Thanks, I have listened/read a lot of his stuff and he knows his stuff IMHO.

Just wondering if there is any recent data to suggest otherwise.

 

And they fly/penetrate well?

 

Absolutely

They will hit like a ton of bricks...you shoot those things consistently and I guarantee unless you hit both shoulders you will get pass throughs I would nearly bet my life savings on it!

 

And to you get that out to a good distance?

 

Least the arrows wont break from the animal falling down and rolling on it.

 

More, due to the higher weight.

Lol, how does a heavy arrow make it less prone to break?

Shoulders may or may not be a non issue with that setup ha

 

Thanks.

 

Because as someone stated earlier (and you actually quoted the statement), you are more likely to get complete pass throughs, so the arrows are less likely to be stuck in the animal when it falls down.
