Default RE: beginner seeking advice on arrows

I start out with a shaft thats maybe 10# too stiff in spine - like a 50# bow would use 60# spine arrows. At full length I bare shaft and watch them fly way left (too weak in spine) . Then I start cutting them back 1" at a time and somewhere they will start flying like darts - maybe at 30", maybe at 29" .... but there will be one length where the bare shafts fly as good as feathered shafts.

Thats the length I use.

Ideally, the arrows match well enough that there's maybe 1" sticking past the arrow shelf.
