Hello everyone: My name is Tony Ellis. I have been hunting for as long as I can remember. I picked up bow hunting 4 years ago and it has become my passion. This offseason, I intend on buying a new bow. My question is, once I purchase the bow, should I get the bow tuned or anything like that? Is there a way to get measured so that I know exactly what my draw length should be? And lastly, how far should I arrow stick out when the bow is at full draw? I have recently cut my arrows an inch longer than my draw length but was not sure if there was a rule of thumb. Thank you all, be safe and good luck! Tony

Welcome! A good archery shop like dukester stated should help you get everything tuned, your draw length and weight figured out. Typically, your arrow will be a half inch to an inch longer than your draw length, so you're good there. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
