   I’ve been looking to build a heavier arrow and increase the FOC (front of center) % on my arrow. My current arrow builds are about 425-450 grains and I love the flat trajectory, but I had one not penetrate an elk as well as I would have liked. It was a bit heartbreaking, but I’ve learned my lesson. Diving into the stats on these arrows, do an internet search for Gold Tip FOC calculator and here’s the numbers of my new set up using these shafts: 125 grains for tip weight, 97(!!) grain insert weight, 10.1 grains/inch, 27 inches long, 7 grains per 2″ vane (3 vanes), 3.8 grain bushing weight, and 8 grain nock weight. I’m guessing on the nock weight– but those numbers come in at 527 grains and a 16.2% FOC, both of which are a huge increase over my current setup– most of that is due to the heavier shaft (10.1 grains per inch vs 8.9 on the Gold Tip Hunters) and the 97 grains up front with the insert. Couple the increase mass and FOC with a reduced side profile (18% less–0.247″ outside diameter vs 0.302 on the Gold Tip Hunters) and this is a killer set up. The DOWNSIDES: Not unique to these in particular, but a heavier arrow means you’re going to have more of an arch when you lob these down range (compared to a lighter arrow). That means you need to be more precise with your shooting distance as these drop faster. Being 4 yards off when you’re shooting a laser isn’t a bi deal, but it can mean a clean miss on heavier arrows. With that, keep in mind that if you’re shooting a lighter setup, then you’ll have to drop most of your sight pins a smidge when shooting heavier arrows– so if your long distance pin is already at the bottom, you’re going to have to decrease your max range if you can’t move that pin any more. The UPSDIES: Shooting lightweight lasers has been all the rage for the last decade or so. It’s been all about speed and limiting total drop. For target shooting that may work, but for hunting folks are starting to realize that reducing the weight leads to reduced penetration. And, a lighter weight arrow often has a lower FOC, which can reduce accuracy. These are heavier– so they are going to penetrate more. The higher FOC and smaller diameter means that the will drift less. OTHER NOTES: Double check your arrow length and draw weight to make sure you get the right spine. I took a picture of the chart on the box, which also lists a website you can visit to confirm what works for you. These come uncut (32″ from the crotch of the nock to the end of the shaft) and without insert glue– both of which are pretty normal these days and shouldn’t be a surprise. If you use lighted knocks, do check to see if they are compatible for the smaller diameter shafts. Finally, search for that FOC calculator I mentioned and punch in your current numbers and see how this compares. I think you’ll be surprised of the heft that these skinnier arrows can pack. Good luck and shoot straight!

   This is my first set of carbon express arrows I typically shoot Victory or Easton. I figured I would give these a try. This is also the first set of micro shafts that I’ve shot. I typically shoot a 5mm or the .244 shafts. I like the micro shafts. I would think you would get better penetration with these smaller shafts. I don’t typically run the collars either so this is the first for me. These arrows shoot great. I got the 400 spine but I wasn’t planning on putting much weight up front. I’m running 100 grain tips and I’m thinking of moving to either 125 or 150 grain tips. Which ever gives me a better shot. I don’t like going to heavy with my hunting arrows because I’m just hunting white tails with these. The problem I may run into is the spine because going up to 150 with a 28” arrow and #60 bow may put me at needing a 350 spine arrow. It’s all about tinkering and seeing what works best. Regardless these are some great arrows and if your looking for a micro set then this is a great choice. The only downfall I seen with these arrows is they are made in Korea instead of the US.
