Mine run from 7 1/4-7 5/8. Depends on which bow and which arrow.

Seven to seven point five inches depending on stiffness of arrow. I notice on my 56" 58# @ 28 one piece that it is necessary to move my nock locator up a bit to insure nice arrow flight.

I have a 3-piece and it shoots best (combination of arrow flight and quietness at 7.0 inches to 7 1/4 inches.

7" to 7 & 1/4" for a three piece takedown works best on my Pronghorn.
