Default RE: arrow length

I don't think that's right.

Most people shoot arrows that are shorter than their draw length. I shoot 28" arrows, but my DL is 29.5.

Generally you want your arrow to be about 1 inch ahead of your arrow rest at full draw.

Default RE: arrow length

If the arrow can be drawn and not pulled off the rest it is long enough. If it sticks out however far past the riser it may not be too long. What is more important is to match the spine to the length and draw weight of the bow, or at least close enough so as to be tuneable.
