does the arrow have to have the same lenght as the draw length?

[ikesoutdoors]

@eagleeyedpsycho It will usually be a 1/2" to and inch shorter than your draw length

That was really helpful what ubout the fletches

[ikesoutdoors]

@Christianland17 really tricky. i can't give you a definitive answer. I like the short high profile vanes like the Fusions. If you ask another shooter they will say they like something else. I have tried several things in the past and the Fusions are working the best for me right now

That is a matter of preference really. With my hunting setup I have a 27.5" draw with a 27.25" arrow for the same reason as you. I don't like a broad head that goes to far past my shelf. My 3D bow I shoot the same draw but I shoot a 26.75" arrow so I can shave a little weight and have a little stiffer spine arrow,

kool but wats ur draw length? i have a 29 inch draw and i have 29 inch arrows the arrow is long enough dat it pass the the shelf so i can put any size point on and not have it contact the shelf... is dis right for length?

[ikesoutdoors]

Your insert will only add about 1/8 inch. My arrows are cut to 27 1/4" without the inserts. With FOB's you will still have a nock on your arrow so measure from the throat of the nock to where the end of the shaft meets the insert.

[golfer15963]

wat if you have inserts? or shoot fobs?

[ikesoutdoors]

You measure from the throat of your nock (where it touches the string) to the end of the arrow.
