sounds short to me........... but I'm no pro. My arrow is 1.5" over my draw length.

What spine arrows? That's the important part.

If your arrow are 340's then way overspined. If 400's, then close

Let me put it this way. I shoot a commander set at 71lbs, and shoot 29" 340 mfx's, and my draw is 29.5", and I am right where I need to be. If I dropped poundage by 6lbs, then I would be overspined, If I then dropped draw another 1" to 1.5", I would be even more overspined. If I dropped my arrow length from 29" to 27", I would again be even more overspined. Unless you want to try 200gr muzzy phatoms, your way overspined.
