| | Is there a certain way to figure out how long of an arrow to shoot?Is it based on your draw length? | | | |

| | The guy who cuts arrows for my father and I bases it on our draw length. I dont know how he does it but we told him what our draw length was and he cut, nocked, and put fletching on our arrows. So, if you have a local shop that does work on bows im sure they will do it for you. | | | |

| | If I had to guess I'd say they look at your draw length and give it about 3 or so more inches to allow clearance from the arrow rest. | | | |

| | I think your close rebel.I used to shoot 30 inch arrows with 29 inch draw.I think its usually 1 or 2 inches longer than your draw.I think I saw this on a website somewhere. | | | |

| | That is probably true with rests or overdraws that are behind the "normal"rests position.Thanks | | | |

| | 1-2 inches longer than draw length is the norm but if you have an overdraw you can be up to 3 inches shorter. I was able to shoot 28" arrows with a 30" draw the arrow flies faster, flatter, and is more accurate. OOPS sorry for getting off the subject. | | | |

| | One inch from edge of riser, I draw 27 inches and shoot a 28 inch arrow, mind you when I was drawing 29 inches a few years ago, a 20 inch arrow actually flew more accurately than the 28 1 /8 inch arrows I was hunting with, rule of thumb one inch beyond the riser to keep the broadhead away from your thumb and fingers of you bow holding hand, a lot of archers get cut on draw and release when the arrows they are using are too short or equal to draw length, have a good one and be safe out there, bob | |

| | yea, but when you get your arrows cut that short they become to light and its pretty much like dry fireing you bow | |

| | that`s when you get a stiffer shaft for example when I shot aluminum arrows @ a length of 30" I was using 2117s and when I went to 28" long arrows I had to shoot 2365s in order to keep the arrow flight relatively the same. 2117s would whip right for release, I tried to lower my draw weight but it wasn`t enough. | | | |

| | I meant to say 30 inch not 20,,man that would be short eh,,I shot 2117's at 28 1/8 inch with a 28 inch draw, they flew quite well from my Thunderbolt,, | |

| | Obviously, it depends on your setup(type of rest) I have a QAD fall away. I have a 29" draw and, I shoot a 29" arrow which, at full draw is about 1 1/2" passed the rest | | | |
