--- Quote from: wvarcher on December 25, 2010, 10:38:06 pm ---I'm thinking longer is better.  Ive read articles in PA and other magazines describing the all the positives when shooting arrows that extend waaay past the riser. Makes me wonder why Howard Hill never shot arrows that stuck out past the back of his bow.  I think Horace Ford did the same.

We're in a totally different class than Howard Hill and Horace Ford ;D. With longer heavier arrows we have options. With short light spined arrows we only have one. Longer arrows out of these type bows, IMO, help reduce some paradox ,helps accuracy and are more forgiving of release/form.

Number one variable that can't be accounted for is your release. That can account for +/- spine. Longer arrows can give you the room you need to adjust things..........Art

wvarcher:
Thanks, hillbilly,art.  Well, I'm seeing a lot of reasons to keep 'em long.  I see there are similar posts about arrow spine in this forum to read over.  Thanks again, everybody.

sailordad:
i like em long  30"-32"
only time i like them shorter is when i let someone else draw my bows  ;D

broken arrow:
I like them long too. That way when you bust an arrow you can usually cut the shaft back and reinstall the tip and the shaft is not lost . Try different lengths . You may find a length that shoots well for you.
