Calculate Your Arrow's Front of Center %

Arrow Length (decimal-inches)  

 Balance Point (decimal-inches)

 

Percent Front Of Center represents the percentage of forward weight on your arrow. For indoor match shooting, the ideal %FOC is between 7% and 9%. For hunting situations using broadheads, the ideal %FOC is between 9% and 15%.

1. Arrow Length - Total arrow length in decimal inches. (ie: 27.5).

2. Balance Point - The distance in decimal inches from the arrow tip to the point on the arrow shaft where it will balance. (ie: 11.125).

The above example would produce a Front Of Center Percentage of  9.55.
