    Well, it's time to get some new arrows. I was thinking about ordering them online. If I did would I have to cut them myself? If so how does one go about that.

    Yes you will likely need to cut them unless you have a freakishly long draw length. lol Without an arrow saw you would be wise to have them cut at a shop. I have cut my own arrows without an arrow saw but ya gotta be careful not to splinter them and to get a nice square cut. It is doable, I've heard of guys using tile saws and the like, but I used a high speed cut off wheel on a 90 deg die grinder with a lil jig I built to insure a true and square cut. IMO it typically is easier to buy arrows at a shop where they will cut them to your length on the spot and install your inserts etc.

    Go to huntersfriend.com and under custom arrows u can pick which ones you want...they will fletch them for with with helical or no helical with any kind length or color fletchings you want plus they will cut them to whatever length you want and install inserts and field tips if you want....prices are the same as anywhere else and you get what you want....takes 3-6 weeks to get them in the mail...I bought a dozen easton flatlines with red and black blazer vanes cut to 29 with inserts installed and field tips and they were 114 to my door

    I got both sets of my arrows within the week. Real simple and you get them just the way you like them.

    I used to just call my proshop up and have them mail them to me (it's a 2hr drive there). But now that I have my arrow saw, I just order them up myself :tu:
