FOC is important for all arrows, not just "trad"

I just went out in the yard with a wood shaft(no fletch) with a nock and 125 field point. Throw it like you would a spear. Try it with the point first and watch it. Then try throwing with nock first, sometimes it will turn in flight so point is forward. With no weight on either end the shaft will go in different directions each time it is thrown.
FOC is needed to insure good arrow flight, as with any good thing, if you get too much then it becomes not so good.
