Have any of you ever footed your arrows? I can see a great benefit to FMJ with the HIT inserts by strengthening the business end of the arrow. It could give a little more FOC as well. It is suggested to install footings anywhere from an inch and a half to 2 inches long. Some are even double footed for additional strength. I tried it and they may work just fine out of a fixed rest such as a whisker biscuit but they do not work well out of a drop away rest. My arrows were not hitting consistent groups. It only added 75 grains to the front of my 340 FMJs so im pretty sure my spine is still good. So then it was suggested to have the footing in front of the drop away rest. Two inches past my rest seems awful long to me. I'm at one inch. Anyone shoot arrows over an inch past their rests? Any experience with footing with compound bows?
So far I dropped the idea and I ordered the eastman adaptor rings for 340 FMJ. Rather than foot for added FOC weight im going to add brass inserts and play with that idea as well.
