Arrow length?

[Bobhat]

I'm curious as to how much longer than your draw length everyone's hunting arrows are.  I realize the arrow's length, spine, head weight, etc all have an effect on how your arrows fly but how much longer are your arrows than your draw length?

If you attatch a clothes pin to the arrow( after it is nocked) in front of the riser,and draw back to your anchor and then back it off.The clothes pin should be toward the point of the arrow.I add 1-1/2 inches from that point(the front of the clothes pin facing the fletching) and cut it and taper it..

1.5 inches...mine are carbon.

I have a 30" draw length and my aluminum arrows are 32" from the valley of the nock where it seats against the bowstring to the end where it's cut. Then I glue in the RPS insert.

With wood and aluminum you have so many more spines available you can pick one to get an arrow a inch to inch and a half past your draw length.With carbons I let my tuning dictate their final length and they usally end up around 2 to 3 inches longer.

I shoot wood only and it depends on point weight and spine and don't worry about it. Looks like 2-3 inches from here.

Mine are carbons and two inches longer than draw length.

[Bobhat]

Thanks guys, I'm shooting carbons by the way.

maybe 1/2" - 1' longer than my actual draw .

I shoot CX Heritage 150's, my draw length is 28" and my arrows are cut 30"

[Friend]

They may range for me from 1/2" - 2 1/2".

The final length depends on the tuning of a specified arrow design of which I am working to achieve.

[Outwest]

My draw length is 29" my arrows are 31" just because thats the length that they tune at.

Mine are 2 1/2" longer, wish they were shorter but that is the way they ended up after bare shaft tuning.

[Stumpkiller]

About 3/4".  Just enough for the back of the broadhead to clear my gloved hand and the riser.
