I think a 29 or 29.5" arrow length should do for my 29" draw.
Any kind katera xl owners out there that could confirm this pleeeease?

just seen the video for my rest:

it seems the arrow tip is way back from the riser which confuses me even more
I understand your plight... good to know. Don't dispair, we can help.
It maybe back in that video... but we can cut arrows to make them hang out over the riser or stop 1/4" short of the rest. Just remember that a bit too long with an arrow is better than a bit too short. (Of course I'm sure you figured that out).
Typically (thats a key word here), bows with 29" draws
can use 28" arrows. Not always though. If you were to stick with 29 or even 29.5", I am confident you'd be just fine. Unless your fixed blade heads are lawnmower blades or filet knives, you'll have no clearance issues with the riser... and as I illuded to before, your fingers ought to not be up there anyway.
I've set up several kateras for customers, and like most hoyts, they are pretty spot on when it comes to draw length.
Good luck with it... the Kateras are a hoyt shooters hoyt... great bows.
