This was a good demonstration of how to take the measurement but it doesn't result in anything actionable! I'm tired of asking questions that don't get a straight answer. Archery can be distilled into a handful of simple concepts but the pros want to turn it into voodoo and mysticism. (Kind of like Christianity but that's a different argument.)
There is no real "scientific" knownledge about correct FOC.
For instance, for indoor target shooting good FOC is assumed to be 9-10% even if FOC down to 7% is acceptable.
For outdoor target 10% is optimum.
For field and hunting arrows FOC is somewhere in 10-15% with lower values for long range accuracy, while higher values allow for better broadhead penetration.
Great video. For numbers and more details go to the website he provided at the end of the video.

Galileo demonstrated that mass has no effect on gravitational acceleration, so why worry about FOC?

Right, promod1956!

Eyeswitcher, thanks for the numbers :)

@Eyeswitcher interesting I just read a artical by Dr Ashby That states the higher Ratios are better for long range shooting.

Nice viedo but literally no information. He never says what precentage is correct for any type of archery.
