1、Designation: F1435 08 (Reapproved 2013) An American National StandardStandard Specification forDesignation of the Balance Point Location for ArcheryArrows1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1435; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoptio

Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the method of determining anddesignating the loca

The designatedpoint varies to accommodate the different designs because ofthe differences in arrow point design and attachment.2.1.2.1 For arrows incorporating interchangeable point sys-tem inse

It is thelongitudinal location of the center of gravity of the arrowassembly.2.1.5 front of center (FOC), nfor good flightcharacteristics, the balance point or center of gravity of anarrow assembly must be located at some position forward ofthe lo

10、ngitudinal dimensional center of the arrow. The FOCdistance is not a fixed dimension. It can vary with the design ofthe arrow assembly and its components. It is also not neces-sarily a precise dimension since satisfactory arrow flight can beachieved despite minor variations of this factor. Its locat

11、ion isdetermined by measurement from the longitudinal dimensionalcenter of the ATA actual arrow length, and it is expressed by apercentage figure related to the length of the arrow and notedas FOC. To reference typical FOC locations see 3.4.1.2.1.6 insert, na machined or molded component, usuallywit

The insert canalso have a tapered forward extension to permit mounting anarrow point with a tapered socket. The majority of arrowa

13、ssemblies are fitted with an insert of the first type to permit thearrow point to be interchanged very readily.2.1.7 integral socket arrow points, nmany arrow points,particularly those used on target or field arrows and includingsome hunting arrow heads, have integral sockets incorporatedinto the ar

Arrows using points of these types requirespecial consideration when determining the standard ATAarrow length and method of establishing the FOC distance ofthe center of gravity or balance point of the arrow assembly.2.1.8 nock s
