- Arrow Spine & Length Matching arrow stiffness (spine) and cut length to your draw weight and length; why a mismatched arrow flies poorly and unsafely.
- Arrow Weight & FOC Total arrow weight and front-of-center (FOC) balance: how they affect penetration, trajectory, and forgiveness, and a sensible starting point for hunting.
- Field Points vs. Broadheads Why you practice with field points but hunt with broadheads, what changes between them, and why you must confirm broadhead point of impact before hunting.
- Fixed vs. Mechanical Broadheads The fixed-blade vs. mechanical (expandable) trade-off: penetration, flight, blade-count, and matching head choice to your bow's speed and energy. SC broadhead-width rules, verify current SCDNR regulations.
