Short Draw Length
mullet:
I think daniel, on the arrow section needs to be in on this thread. I think I've been talking to a piece of plastic. :-\ I draw between 29 and 30" depending on how excited and how much time I have to shoot. All my arrows are 32" long and I usually shoot 120 grns,

I used to shoot carbons from my Martin Savannah longbow. I draw about 27" and used a 32" carbon with a 100 grain brass insert and a 200 grain broadhead. Hows that for weight forward? It looked kinda silly, but shot and penetrated awesome.

Great info! Thanks to everyone it really confirmed much of my own thoughts on the subject of arrow length and spine. I am not worried about a few extra inches or FPS; I am more about accuracy and penetration.
