synper100 Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Hey FOB shooter dude, can you tell me the rate of rotational spin per every foot of travel?? Are tests done to compare arrow stabilization versus vanes? I hear the FOB's stabilize a fixed blade head quicker than vanes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fobshooter Report post Posted January 17, 2009 The terminal spin rate of the FOB is about the same as a typical helical fletch. However wind tunnel data indicates the FOB will achieve terminal spin approximately 4 times faster then a fletch. We are not trying to spin a broadhead faster, we are simply trying to achieve terminal spin rate quicker. In a nutshell the FOB applies more torque with the same terminal spin rate.

bearbait Report post Posted January 18, 2009 How do they affect shots that would normally be a pass-through? Do the FOB's fall/break off? You have talked about the positives of FOB's. What are the down falls of FOB's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodgerboy999 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 The fob and nock pop of within 5 feet of the hit on a pass through and always stay attached so then you go over and pick them up pop them back on your bloody arrow and get to tracking. I have never seen the fob break on a pass through on an animal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are the down falls of FOB's? hmmm downfalls of FOBS??? I guess if I had to find one it would be the Price. $20 for a DZ. you can buy enough blazers for a dz arrows for 10$ BUT IM CHEAP like that. Oh yeah AND people like to try and break them on the 3D course!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fobshooter Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Although we do not have a FOB designed for the ACC shafts we do have one that will work. Our Axis FOB will work the only problem is that on a pass through the nock will not stay in the FOB because the g-nock(ACC) is smaller the the x-nock(axis).

AzBuckCHaser1 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 the one downfall, was when you have a passthrough you have a hard time finding your arrow, with no bright fletching, pretty much kissing your arrow bye bye. but thats just my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodgerboy999 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 Thats why they make bright arrow wraps that show up even better than fleching so regardless on a pass through with or without fleching you have a better chance of finding your arrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
