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!" :) |

As far as I know....they're not. Mine aren't.

Is this not the case? |

Well this is weird because these arrows are definitely shorter.
Here is the hunting arrow: http://www.eastonarchery.com/products/product/10 Here is one of the target arrows: http://www.eastonarchery.com/products/product/34 The target one is definitely longer. Hmmm... |

I think they just sell a certain length. Whenever I had my bow set up, the archery shop cut the arrows to fit your draw length and rest (probably like everyone else).

Octopus, your target arrows and hunting arrows should be the same length. Head down to an archery shop and have them measure your draw length so that they can cut your arrows to fit you.

So I guess I will have to buy my arrows someplace besides Walmart though since those are probably not the right length for my bow or whatever. I was not aware that multiple sizes were available. |

I will make sure I buy the proper arrows next time. |
