Increasing FOC beyond 15-16% didn't help(field point) groups but increased FOC(up to 30%) didn't hurt accuracy but greatly increased drop, especially from 70-100 yds. So, increasing FOC beyond that needed for optimum accuracy will give the effect of a slower velocity. Penetration - ?
SEW when you increased the FOC did you keep the same overall arrow weight? I assume so, and yeah, that is what high FOC will do. That's why long distance target guys keep it lower - for a flatter trajectory.
