Home/Broadheads & arrows/The arrow system

The arrow system.

A broadhead is maybe 100 grains of a 450-grain system, and the other 350 decide whether it arrives pointing forward. This group covers the arrow side: shafts and spine - the stiffness number that rules grouping - field and practice points for building accuracy before season, and components and FOC for hunters who build their own arrows. It suits anyone whose broadheads group away from field points and wants to know why. The trade-off: chasing heavier, higher-FOC builds buys penetration but costs trajectory - past 30 yards, a slower arrow makes range estimation the weak link.
