Arrow length question

johndeer44 · 10-16-2004, 07:49 PM

I shoot a Mathews Outback. My draw length is 30". My question is I had some Bemans from my old bow and there the same grain as the arrows I shoot now but the old ones are maybe an inch shorter than the new. Could I still shoot the old arrows even though they are a lil shorter? I nocked one on and drew it back and still have a a half an inch before it would fall off the rest, not to mention maybe more if i had broadhead on it.

I doubt they'd work well, I think the minimum is an inch over. If really want to keep those arrows for some reason, get an overdraw and that should work with your arrows.

I have to disagree with your post
I cut my arrows where they are all the way up on the shelf
as so long as the back of the broad head will not come in contact with the rest as long as they are the same diamiter as your old arrows you should fly virtually the same.
