Default RE: Stupid Question of the Day: Why Are Hunting Arrows Shorter Than Target Arrows?

It seems that the arrows I bought at Walmart are target arrows not hunting arrows. They are longer than my other arrows. How come hunting arrows are longer than target arrows? What's the difference? How does the shorter length help when hunting?

Yes, stupid questions but I didn't notice the size difference until I shot both kinds today. I went to put them all into my quiver and I'm like "WTF...these are shorter than the other ones!"

So which is it? Longer or shorter?[8D]

Anyway, I thought Walmart just sold all their arrows at the same length which is the maximum length a shaft can be. Is this not the case?
The target ones are longer and the hunting one is shorter. Sorry I didn't clarify.
