    Have you ever shot this bow? Are the arrows coming pre-cut with inserts and field points? First think you will need to do out of the box is tune the bow, if you bought this through a shop they will probably do it as part of the puchase. Good luck

    you know I completely forgot to check if they are pre cut and I don't have a arch shop near me it doesn't appear that they are precut I can always drop the arrows from elsewhere can you suggest a place to order precuts

    Your arrow length will depend on draw length and rest location. Some rests sit father forward or back. You may need a 29" arrow, you may beed a 27" arrow. My arrow length is actually shorter than my draw length because of where my arrow rest sits. You won't really know until you're all set up with your rest. It's possible there's someone with the same bow, draw length, and rest that can help you figure it out ahead of time. Do you have a BPS or any kind of store that sells archery equipment anywhere near you? Even those box stores are better than ordering from online with no experience. Tuning a bow will also tough if you don't have a bow press or experience tuning.

    You can also call some archery shops and see if they will set up the bow and cut the arrows to fit it properly and have them ship it to you.

    Glad it worked out for you, hopefully this shop is a good one. If it is reward them with your business.
