Do you think that little difference in foc is the reason?Or maybe the point weight affecting the arrow spine? I've read some comments from Bob Ragsdale,he does'nt put much if any emphasis on FOC.I think the quote was something like" my son is a champion archer and he does'nt worry about foc".Food for thought.I think that is why the paper tune changed,the extra point weight was affecting the arrow spine.

I didn't make it as clear in my post, but I think it's a little of both.
Longer range groups are significantly affected by FOC..look at how anal the 70Meter guys are about nibb weight and FOC?
And while I agree Bob ragsdale is a very knowledgable (if cantankerous & opinionated to the point of being annoying) his son also won most of those records shooting at 20 yards or so where FOC doesn't make as much of a difference as it does at 30 plus...
Drag is also very important at longer ranges.
