Arrow length past shelf?

[RD808]

Just finished tuning up some arrows and just was curious. How much arrow do you have going past your riser at full draw? (Minus broadhead and insert)

Aloha

My drawlength is 28”, and I cut my arrows to 29”.  However, if my draw length were 27”, I still might cut them to 29”, in order not to stiffen the spine. I like having all my arrows the same length.

RD808 what is your draw length? if it were me I leave about and inch and a half past riser and that is 28 1/2'' I have a draw length of 27'' @ #45 I hope this helps ya

[RD808]

My draw length is 26”. Shooting at about 51-52# Just tuned up some 400 spine and they came out to 29” shooting 50gr aluminum insert with a 200gr head. Shoots great. The reason why I went with 400 is I had some 500s and the arrow was a little to close to my finger when I shot. I’m happy woth the weight and how it tuned just not stoked on the length and look of the arrow past the riser hahahahaha

ok well I guess you will just have to look the other way when shooting them LOL!!!! good luck  with the  arrows Bro

I draw 26", my arrows are cut to 30".

I shoot woods and with field points, no wood showing past the shelf.  With broadheads, I add just over an inch.

[Babbling Bob]

I draw 26 and my arrows vary from 28 1/2-inches for some Axis Trads, 28-inches for some old Predator II's, to 29-inches for some real old red anodized aluminums.    Not the short 26 1/2  to 27-inch target arrows I shot in the distant past.  Don't mind the arrows sticking way out beyond my risers of all my bows since I shoot short 3-D type distances nowdays, or less than 40yd most days.  Seems like the arrows stick out so far I can hang my laundry from them, but they shoot good.

I let tuning determine final arrow length. Currently, that is about 2” for me.

4” currently

About 7 1/2".  I aim off the tip of my arrow and find that I get a very good tune with a 34" arrow and very small crawl---giving me a 15 yard point on.  I even cobbled up some carbons with a 8 inch section of aluminum to extend their length---they performed so well for 3d and stumping that I now have them set up for hunting.  I expected them to be on the fragile side, but so far they have held up well to stumps and one efferant shot with the broadhead through the barn siding.

I agree with most that I let final tune determine arrow length, but I also want at least an inch from the riser to broadhead for finger clearance.  If I cannot get the one inch clearance with a certain shaft then I would go to a different shaft.  Extra out front isn't a problem.

[Longtoke]

Just depends on what you like. I personally would rather choose the point weight and let the bow tell me how long to leave the shaft. But if you have an arrow length preference you could play around with the point weight until it shoots good.

On my currant hunting rig the arrow sticks out about 2 inches past the shelf.

I used to like very little hanging over,but found arrows could be hard to tune. I leave them full length now,and try to tune to that length.

[RJonesRCRV]

What Bisch said about tuning determining length.  I draw 28.5" with good back tension, tuning brought my arrows to 29.5", plus whatever the insert and point add.

[Sam McMichael]

I draw 25" and cut my arrows at29". I shoot wood arrows.

[Rough Run]

I don't like a lot of arrow out front, but I don't like to feel like the point (broadhead, mainly) is right against my bow hand fingers.  My draw is right at 28" or a shade over, so I don't have any arrow less than 29-1/2" and most are 30".  If I can't tune an arrow to that range, I will change spine and point weight, and start over.

[JRY309]

With wood and aluminum there are enough spines to get an arrow about an inch past the shelf.But with carbons there are not that many different spine choices.When I tune my carbons length is not a concern,I leave the at the length they tune at.

[GCook]

I have a point weight range I want to use so I tune my arrow length with it.  Currently I'm at 1.5" with my recurve.

Thanks guys!

Some if you added a little extra and that’s great, all I wanted to know was the length of arrow past your riser.

As most of you stated I also have a desired point weight and will tune and let the bow decide the arrow length. I just thought my arrows was a tad long but after reading some responses I guess it’s pretty normal? Hahahah anyways i guess the mainthing is the arrow flies true....and it does!

Thanks for the reply guys really appreciate it
