Google Dr Ed Ashby 2013 Pope & Young Convention and there is a multi-part video series (on Youtube) of Dr Ed demonstrating various arrow aspects. He does the soda straw demo and a few other eye openers.
There are other things besides the FOC/trajectory demo in the P&Y seminar.I've seen it but this was easier to see for people right away.... not have to listen to the whole seminars
What is your FOC and what heads are you shooting?I took one time of not penetrating deer shoulder for me to look for a cause. Now I shoot 75# with 585 grain arrow.

NiceWell boys, I've been at this a while but the pieces are falling together. What you see is nearly the finished product. It's 31 3/8ths total length,sporting the masai 200gr single bevel, the Ethics 180gr stainless insert/footer combo, and weighing in at 680gr with an FoC of 21%. The fool thing flies like a dart, and quiets the bow considerably. May change the fletch color, and will add a lighted nock for sure, but other than that I love it. Crappy photo but you get the idea.

Three things that I have done in life a lot that really made It click. Building paper airplanes. I slowly add more and more tape to the front and its pretty cool to how well it fly and seem to picks up speed (fly faster).Being a total nerd, I started researching arrow stuff almost immediately after starting hunting this past season.
We, my nine year and I, learned that when we threw wooden arrows without tips, the wind would blow them like milk weed (exaggerating), but when they had a 200 grain field point on there, they flew amazing and we could "play spear" - then he tied on a bunch of different weight rocks that he fashioned into make shift spearheads... and came to me and said dad, heavier rocks are better and sometimes they actually stick in the hay bale.
I am glad I learned this early instead of floating what Ranch Fairy calls Twizzler sticks for several seasons.
The science doesn't lie
Don't know foc ,black hornet serazors,in front of 100 grain of brass on carnivore arrowsWhat is your FOC and what heads are you shooting?

You'll be fine with setup.....I just spent half the day on YouTube watching ranch fairy and Ashby learning about all this. I’m about to bump up my arrow weight. They’re only around 400gr total now and want to get into the low 500s if not more. But idk if the dozen 340 spine arrows I just got a month ago will be too weak. Thinking 100gr inserts and bumping broad heads up from 100 to 125 and letting it rip!
Appreciate it. Not trying to go to heavy this time around. Next batch of arrows I'm going to go with a stiffer spine and heavier tip. The set up I mentioned above has a foc around 15% which is much better than I'm currently running.You'll be fine with setup.....
