Mine stick out about 1" pass the riser. I try to stay in the 5 grain per pound for my 70# DW and mine is at 370gr., FOC at 16% and get about 55 KE. Before cutting the arrow calculatethe spine, weight and FOC to see if it is right for your bow and what you are looking for. As far accuracy goes, if your arrow is right for your bow and the bow is tune, you'll find that accuaracy will come along just fine.
