Default How much past rest @ full draw?

How much should an arrow stick out past your rest at full draw. I made my draw length a little shorter. Just was wondering if too muchof arrow waspastmy rest, (quick tune 1000) at full draw would it effect the arrow flight.

Just didn't know if there was a rule of thumb, I thought I heard 1" to 1 1/2" but not sure. I shoot cx 400 with 85 grain thunder head

Thanks

Idoubt you could shorten your draw enough to make a difference in overall arrow length.

There are a lot of variables involved, but as long as your arrows are shooting true I wouldn't worry about it. 1", 1.5", .5" it's all good.

I used to have mine sticking out 1in past the riser but now I cut my arrows approx. 1/2 in shorter than the riser at full draw. With a broadhead on, it sticks past about a half inch. It's all personal preference, some don't like a broadhead over their knuckles others don't mind. As long as your spine is correct you can cut them where you want.

I cut the arrows so the point insert is not in contact with the rest. Doing this will allow the rest to work properly and to fine tune my setup.
