your correct arrow length is usually 3/4 of inch less than your draw length. Many shoot arrows that are the same length as thier draw length. This usually isn't a problem unless you are REALLY close on being weak on spine.
That brings up this question: I'm guessing that when an arrow is rated for a certain draw weight range, i.e. 55-65 (which is what mine is)that rating is for that arrow uncut as it comes from the factory right? This would mean that since I got 2 inches cut off the arrow, it would increase or strengthen the spine which favors or is more accomodating toa heavier BH?
Are you looking for anything specific? Like a certain speed you don't want to go under ( I can't garuantee that, I don't know how accurate my program will calculate that for sure), or a certain weight you are looking for, or a certain type of arrow you want to shoot.
Speed's really not an issue as long going from my current 366gr to 391gr is not going to slow my arrow down to some ridiculous number like under 200. Considering I'm probably just gonna slap on 125 BH'sinstead of a 100's (putting me at 391gr total) the speed for that weight should be 228 fps. I'd like to see how close I am to your program.
My honest opinion is if you want to shoot carbons of moderate weight see if you can get Arrow Dynamic Nitro Stingers. I will let you know what size.
No need because silly me, instead of coming here to ask you guys firstI'd already bought somearrows 2 weeks ago. The arrows I will be using unless your program tells me there's something tragically wrong it them are the CX Terminator Lite Select 4560'sfletched with 4 inch feathers and tipped with a 125gr BH.
By the way the cybertec is one of my favorite hoyt bows.
Why?
The Cybertec has a brace height of 63/4 inch which makes it very unforgiving by industry standard right?
And speaking of forgivenesswhydoes "setting up your rest so the contact point on the arrow is right above the gripmake forthemost forgiving spot"? Mine is btw, but just curious.
