    Does anyone get their arrows cut a 1/2" or 1" longer than their actual draw length? Just curious

    My arrows are 29.5" long. My draw is 26". I get the right spine by having them cut long.

    Draw length is a poor basis for arrow lengths. This can vary greatly depending on certain bows or rests. I always cut my arrows flush with the end of my riser.

    Ok because I have 28" draw and 29" arrows so I was just hoping I wasn't the only one who does that.

    28" draw and 28" arrows. Sometimes I wish they were longer with a sharp broadhead on the end. SRM
