Arrow lenght?

[bukjuice]

Hey guys I have to ask you something.I was told that shooting a 29'' arrow is the most accurate length to shoot.If so should I make my 27'' arrow 29''? Thank you .

You can't make a short arrow longer.

Your arrow should be 1/2" to 1" shorter than your draw length.

Arrow length ALONE has nothing at all to do w/ accuracy. Arrow length as it pertains to SPINE could. See, a shorter arrow will be stiffer than a longer arrow. So, let's just say you have a 27" draw length, you could shoot probably a 26" arrow. Let's just say for this discussion your spine at that length would indicate the use of a 500. But, if you have the same draw weight bow but you have a 30" draw length, obviously you are going to need a longer arrow, but not only that you'll need to use a 400, not a 500 because the arrow is 3" longer, making it not as stiff.

To sum all of that up, if you are slightly underspined you could make your arrow a tad shorter to stiffen it up a bit, and yes, THAT could affect accuracy. There is no "magical" length that will make you a better shooter. It's all totally dependant on your draw length.

I hear that pretty often, but I don't believe it. I have a short draw length and shoot pretty short arrows, I don't have any problems. I have even robin hooded a 21 inch 1714 at 20 yards before. I normally shoot arrows between 25 and 27 inches long.

Another thing to consider is a shorter arrow will have better tolerance variances.
