Default RE: What should my arrow length be?

ORIGINAL: M77man

I have a 28" draw, should my arrows be a couple of inches past that?

Also, I was reading that my arrows are 8.2 grains per inch. So this means that if my arrows were 30 inches per say, then the total weight of the arrow including a 100 grain Muzzy would equal 346 grains. Is this too light for deer hunting?
Dont forget to factor in the weight of insert, vanes, nock, wrap if you use them. My insert, 3 blazers, and nock weigh 43 grains by themselves. And i use 7 grain wraps.

Arrow length doesn't matter that much, alot of people use the rule of thumb of one inch past the arrow rest, atleast around here. IDK if thats a good rule to follow or not. I have a 29" DL with 28.5 inch shafts.
