arrow length

[trevorpt]

I need to cut my arrows shorter...and i was wondering how i would decide the length and how would i cut the arrow. Would i have to go to an archery shop or could i do this at home? Any thing would help, thanks.

Have a friend stand to the side of you and mark your arrow as close to your rest at full draw that is safe and provides clearance for your intentions, broadheads etc. Then do some quick measurements and weights using your current total arrow weight and subtract the amount you are going to cut off, (excess x gpi of shaft). Make sure you stay within IBO regs 5 grains / pound of draw weight. 60#'s 300 grain arrow etc.

A high speed cutter is preferred and something toensure a level cut. Glue to finish the arrow. Just about all you need, oh and be careful!

thanks for the tip... but i starting to think that it may be easier to just go to an archery shop and pay to have it done for me.
