I think Chuck shoots close to net length. I do not like extra length. With wood arrows and Hill style longbows, I can almost always get the right arrow for someone, providing they are honest about the draw length and poundage, if I stay within an inch of the shelf. It seems that if they are left long, there are different reactions with different bows and different shooters and a lot of messing around needs to take place. With keeping them as short as possible, the only thing that I ever had to do to get someone's arrows to fly is go up or down a bit on the point weight. also, extra long arrows can be a real pain for a still hunter with a back quiver. But like I said, this a Hill style longbow thing, for when I build wood arrows for myself or my friends.
