I’ve had the opportunity to measure the FOC on a few original arrows of some American Indian tribes (museum pieces), both from the plains region and the southeastern costal areas. Most of their arrows exhibit EFOC, and some have Ultra-EFOC. I’m convinced that we are just relearning what more primitive cultures learned eons ago. So much for EFOC/Ultra-EFOC not being ‘traditional’. Notice too how the primitive tribes readually changes from stone points to steel points, when the steel points became available. Switching from what has been ‘historically used’ to things that improved arrow terminal effectiveness seems ‘traditional’ too.
