FOC Gold Tip Calculator Online

The FOC (Front-of-Center) Gold Tip Calculator is a valuable tool used in archery to determine the front-of-center percentage of an arrow. This calculation helps archers understand how weight distribution along an arrow affects its flight characteristics and performance.

Formula of FOC Gold Tip Calculator

The formula for calculating FOC using the Gold Tip Calculator is:

FOC = (W1 * L1) / (W2 * L2) * 100

Where:

• FOC represents the Front-of-Center value in percentage.
• W1 signifies the weight of the arrowhead (measured in grains).
• L1 denotes the distance from the throat of the nock to the balance point of the arrow (measured in inches).
• W2 represents the total arrow weight (measured in grains).
• L2 signifies the length of the arrow (measured in inches).

The FOC value obtained through this calculation provides insight into the arrow’s balance and stability during flight.

Table of General Terms and Conversions

Term	Description
FOC	Front-of-Center value indicating weight distribution
Arrowhead Weight	Weight of the arrowhead in grains
Distance Nock-Balance	Distance from the throat of the nock to arrow’s balance
Total Arrow Weight	Weight of the entire arrow in grains
Arrow Length	Length of the arrow in inches

This table presents general terms and their descriptions, aiding users in understanding relevant terminology.

Example of FOC Gold Tip Calculator

Suppose an arrow has an arrowhead weight of 100 grains, a distance from nock to balance point of 12 inches, a total arrow weight of 400 grains, and an arrow length of 30 inches. Plugging these values into the FOC Gold Tip Calculator formula yields the FOC percentage.
