Most people today have their arrows 1" SHORTER than their draw length,unless they need the longer arrow out in front of the riser for broadhead clearance.New bows are cleared out for the broadheads and the rest sits back behind the shelf.A general rule of thumb is have your arrow 1" in front of the REST.Draw length is measure to the deepest part of the grip plus 1 3/4" and that means your actuall draw length is shorter than your bows draw length.Making your arrow shorter than your (bows)draw length.
