arrow lenght
Stoker:
Coupla inches longer. Like JW says weight and spine. longer arrows are more stable to shoot.
Thanks Leroy
Keenan:
More length is easier to adjust spine for a self bow and just is more forging to tuning issues IMO
H Rhodes:
I like long arrows. My draw is slightly under 28" but I like arrows 31". They just seem to shoot better for me and I find that I can add and subtract point weight to make them spine for a wider range of draw weights. That comes in handy when you have several bows that you like to shoot.
JackCrafty:
It depends on the weight of the arrowhead. Some arrowheads are really small and thin so, in that case, I use a long foreshaft to get the weight up. Usually, 4-6 inches past the back is my average.
Weylin:
I am like Pat, 26" draw with 29-30" arrows. There is an added benefit that if you snap off the tip you will likely be able to salvage the arrow and still have enough length to make it a shootable arrow.
