Adjusting an arrow’s weight, length, and material allows you to customize the FOC to suit your shooting style. A well-balanced one will be more accurate and fly more consistently. When it comes to adjusting FOC, there are several different ways to go about it. Here are four ways: Change the arrow weight by adding or removing mass from the arrowhead or shaft. Adjust the arrow’s overall length. Select an arrow shaft material with different properties. Adjust the arrow’s center of gravity. Adjust the overall length of the arrow by shortening or lengthening the shaft or adding or removing components such as the fletching or arrowhead. When changing the arrow weight, it is vital to remember that a heavier arrow will penetrate deeper but will also be less accurate over longer distances. The material of the arrow shaft also affects the arrow’s FOC. Arrow shafts made of lighter materials such as carbon or aluminum will be faster and fly straighter than shafts made of heavier materials such as wood or steel. Finally, adjusting the arrow’s center of gravity is a way of fine-tuning the FOC.
