    I have just ordered some new arrows the maxima red and want to know the best way to cut them to length. From what I have read about them I figure cutting equal from both ends to achieve the proper lenght. Will it make a better arrow that way or just cut them the normal way that is cutting from one end only. As these arrows are quite pricy at $120 per 6 and I ordered 12, I only want to make sure I am cutting them the right way.
    Thanks for any feedback.

    Cutting equal lengths from both ends is typically what I do. Carbon shafts experience run out on the ends typically and cutting that out should help overall straightness. I usually cut about 1 - 1/2" off the back end, then cut from the front to length.

    For future reference, it looks like they are available cheaper and cut to length here: Carbon Express Maxima RED Carbon Arrows - Hunter's Friend
