Arrow Length and Split Vision Aiming?

[flint kemper]

Here is my question I have been working on split vision for a little while and I am wondering if changing the length of my arrow as to where I am pulling the field point back into the shelf as opposed to having a inch and a half hanging over past the back of the bow will affect shooting at all. I am used to seeing the point out further and if I shorten the arrow will it throw me off? I hope I explained it well enough. Thanks for replies. Flint

anything past 25 yards I use a split vision form of aiming.  After awhile it is not quite as much the exact position of the arrow as it is seeing the degree of loft to match the distance, indirectly. I like to use net length arrows when I can.  when I go to broadheads which I pull to my finger, I cannot really say that I adjust anything.  After the first shot at say 30 yards, it seems to groove in and I can shoot the lighter net length arrow and then the longer stiffer broadhead arrow interchangeably.  Technically the longer the arrow the less gap to target, but for myself getting that down and dirty analytically with the aiming mechanics is counter intuitive.

Your point-on distance will increase with a shorter arrow, due to the change in your sight picture.  In addition, your actual arrow trajectory may change because your arrow weight will be different with the shorter arrow, and your shorter arrow may need to be re-tuned for your bow slightly.

All you have to do is shoot some arrows and see where they are hitting.  I'm sure after about an hour on the range, you'll have the new distances correlated with the location of the arrow point in your peripheral vision.  I've made similar adjustments, as I tend to play around with arrow weights, etc., and it's not very hard to do.
