Author Topic: SHOULD I CUT MY ARROWS wildcat hunter Trad Bowhunter Member # 22694 posted                     For the 1st time in my life I ordered and just got 12 new Easton arrows, 500's, 32" long. I shoot 30", I tried one with a 100 gr point, in my 2 Herters bows and it shot perfectly in both bows, one 37# the other 45#. Should I cut them to 30" or let them at 32". I don't want to mess up the spine because they shoot good the way they are. I'm new at this and don't want to screw up $80.00 worth of arrows.

With the 32" arrows I'm confident this won't happen. I'm printing out the papers as I write, thanks.

With your draw length, I wouldn't go less than 31". At 32" you will just have a little more weight.

Sorry, The question was about shooting - I think. Posts: 226 | From: Pennsylvania | Registered: Jan 2010  |  IP: Logged |  gorillabows Trad Bowhunter Member # 20121 posted                     bolong hit it right on the head, if it works dont mess with it. This is the way it was done before the traditional world got over run with ex compound shooters who brought that mentality with them to trad. Great to have them, but they want to tinker to the inth degree. If it works, use it.
