Sorry, I take for granted folks know what that is. It stands for Draw Length.......DL....


Yes, changing could indeed enhance your performance. An arrow that is severely overspined will just not fly very good. It's a delicate balancing act, but honestly, in your case, it probably won't make such a difference you'll notice. Just cut down the ones you have.

It may POSSIBLY make your gouping better, but the biggest impact on that is you, the shooter. Proper and consistent form are the recipe for good groups, but proper equipment plays into that as well.

What I mean is, if you cut your current arrows down, you won't be so overspined that it will work against you. An arrow that is too stiff is just as bad as an arrow that is too weak. There's a happy medium there, you gotta be in the right place. With your set up, you SHOULD be shooting 500's, ROUGHLY 22 1/2" long. I can't be sure of the length, it depends on several things that can't be determined here. By cutting your 400's down, you will stiffen them up, but they won't be too stiff. They should work fine.

I can't answer that w/out standing next to you looking at your set up. It depends on several things. Ask the guy at the shop to cut them at the proper length. Any shop worth their salt will do just that.

Oh, and you are most welcome. You guys are what this all about!!

Why not just order them at the shop? They'll be cheaper in the long run, once you figure in shipping, and you'll be building a relationship w/ that shop. A good relationship w/ a good pro shop is an INVALUABLE tool to have at your disposal. If I were him, I would think "Hey, this guy wants me to do the work, but spend his money somewhere else!"

Understand? Get them where you want, but I HIGHLY suggest pro shop.
