Default Arrow question, need help!

This might sound stupid to you experince bow hunter' s but this is my first time buying new arrow' s, I hear alot of people say they have a ( example) 29 inch draw, Does that meen you shoot a 29 inch arrow? My arrow' s measure' s 28 inches, But I' m having trouple finding them. And also on the box of arrow' s it read 29 inch 50 - 60 pound' s, 31 inches 60 - 70 pound' s, Is that bull sh@t, Because I' ve been useing 28 inch arrow' s with 67 pound' s draw weight.

Little Rhody,

I shoot 27" arrows with a 29" draw....your draw has little to do with it depeding on the bows setup. Usually I recommend arrows being just an inch past the rest at full draw, again depending on the arrow rest...over draw or off the shelf....

There are arrow selection charts that help with picking an arrow that is spined correctly for arrow length, bow poundage and arrow head weight....I recommend selecting arrows with in said chart.

For not knowing your correct arrow length, I recommend a good pro shop or atleast a good friend that can measure what you will need while at full draw.

If you can' t find your arrows the best and easiest way to measure for new ones is to take your bow to the shop and nock a new arrow and then the pro shop guy can mark them and cut them to length.

AS far as the numbers on the box goes, that simply means that the arrows are full length and uncut (31 inches) and are spined to be shot out of a 60 - 70 pound bow. Generally speaking. That spine rating will change however the shorter you cut them and the heavier or lighter weight tip that you use.

Your pro shop will be able to help you out with " hands on" instruction.
