Default Arrow Length?

How much longer than my draw length do I want my arrows cut? I have always had them cut half and inch to an inch longer but I don't know what the most accurate length would be. Thank ya'll!

My suggestion would be to draw back an uncut arrow. Then have someone mark it where it meets the farthest point of your rest. Add 1 inch and you should be good to go

I think the Easton tuning guide recommends them to be cut one inch past the arrow rest at full draw. That's what I do.

My DL is 29.5" and most of my arrows are 28".

I do have some 31" arrows that fly great - you just have to watch your spine. Ted Nugent shoots really long arrows and he does okay.
