Arrow questions

clfergus · 09-13-2009

I was wondering about arrow length. Is there an easy way to tell if the arrows I have are the right length?

Do they fly well?
Some folks will tell you in order to get as much speed as possible you should shoot arrows as short as possible. I commonly shoot arrows 2 or 3 inches longer than necessary , makes 'em heavier and they hit harder. Shortening an arrow will cause it to act like its stiffer, change the spine. It may cause poor arrow flight if you have good flight now.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
