FOC - would you rather

[92xj]

Carbon Express Maxima Hunters 350s
125 gr head

Would you rather have an FOC of 12.2% with a bulldog collar OR would you rather have an FOC of 12.8% without a collar?

I really wouldn't care. most times I would bet you couldn't tell a difference.

You probably won't notice that much of a difference with either.  What advantages do the bulldog collars have (I am not familiar with them)?  If there are no real advantages I would go without and keep the FOC 12.8% 

My other thought would be to shoot with and without and see what groups better. 

Good Luck

I agree, Your not going to notice .6 of 1% difference in front of center.

Your winning with either or, at that point I don't think it matters.

Personally I don't think it matters. Most arrows don't even have bulldogs to protect the nock. I shot the maxima 350's today. Not a bad arrow. Pulled easy out of the targets. A bit pricey though.

Once you reach 12% it doesn't matter much.  You will be happier keeping the collar IMO.  Makes the shaft a lot more durable and deflects arrow stacking quite well.  I've probably saved over $200 in shafts with the collar bouncing a second arrow away from the first arrow.

Deflects broadheads too

I'd leave the collars on like RAD said. I've never shot Maxima's but the same collars fit Beman ICS Hunters. When I was shooting them, they definitely saved many a shaft.
Well, all except this one, LOL.

Thanks guys. I shall keep them on and shoot away.
