Thanked: 4I would keep them at 29inches, and if you feel later that you want to go to 28.5 or 28 inches, you can experiment. 5 Inch feathers are the best, especially in recurve, where it will stabilize your arrow the quickest.
FOC refers to the middlepoint of the weight of your arrow. Remember, if you have an 28inch arrow, the middlepoint would be 14inches (middlepoint of arrow). However, FOC refers to the percentage that the weight point of the arrow is from the middlepoint of the arrow. Thus, if you have a 28 inch arrow with a 14inch middlepoint and a 10% FOC, this would mean that the balancing point of your arrow would be 10% (or 2.8inches) towards the fieldpoint or BH. Remeber, that the higher your FOC, the more leverage it gives the feathers to steer your arrow. Thus the more FOC, the easier feathers would correct your arrows flight path and stabilize your arrow. Please let me know if this makes sense.
