    Hey guys, switched to a new bow about month or two ago and love it, adjusted my draw length to a comfortable setting which is shorter about an inch. Question is, should I shoot shorter arrows too ? All feedback welcome.

    I would keep shooting the arrows you have. Cut them shorter when you are ready to buy/ switch to new arrows.

    Agreed!

    I cut mine as short as I can, but that's because I'm on the edge for arrow spine, and I have the lighter of the two. A shorter arrow, will act a bit stiffer.

    Having said that, I'm not sure how much of a difference an inch will make.

    I cut mine so at full draw the end of the insert is level with the front of the riser shelf.
