    I just bought Easton deep six FMJ Injection 400 arrows. My draw is 25". I am shooting the Hoyt Nitrum Turbo 1 cam set to 65 pounds. I will be using the NAP 100 grain KillZone broadheads. I'm going to put Nockturnal lighted nocks will be on them as well.

    What do you suggest ? 26"?

    I cut mine 1" in front of the rest. If you're still growing cut them longer. If not then about 24.5"-25" is a good length.

    This is what I do. Nock and arrow and have someone mark the length when you're at full draw. Then set your saw to that mark :tu:

    A lot also depends on how your arrows fly and your bow tunes. Arrow length has an effect on the spine.

    For example, my arrows fly better when cut to 29". If they are longer they show signs of being under spined.

    Yes, I believe 26" is short enough.
