As long as the arrow can reach the arrow rest, basically any value for arrow length is acceptable Based on most users’ choices, we can say that the most common arrow length for 29” draw is 275” This is the number chosen by most archers
How long should an arrow be for a 29 inch draw?
How long should my arrow be for a 29″ draw? Based on our experience, if you are using a 29″ draw with compound bows, the arrow length would be 275″ (29″ – 15″) This allows the arrow to comfortably fit on the arrow rest, but make sure your riser measurement matches up before buying a bulk amount of arrow
How long should my arrows be for a 30 inch draw?
How to: Select the perfect arrow Bow Arrow length Draw weight lb 25″ 30″ 15-20 700 600 20-25 700 500 25-30 700 500
Are longer or shorter arrows better?
Shorter arrows are lighter and can generally be made to be stiffer than long arrows A light arrow will fly further and faster than a heavier arrow An arrow flexes as it flies through the air and a shorter and stiffer arrow will flex less and this also helps with additional speed and flight distance
How do I know what arrows to buy?
If you want to target practice, you want the arrow to weigh in total (shaft, vanes, insert, nock and field point combined) around 5 to 6 grain per pound of draw weight So if your bow has 60 lbs of draw, you want to use arrows that weigh in total between 300 and 360 grain
What happens if my arrow spine is too stiff?
If the arrow’s spine is too weak or too stiff, the arrow will not correct itself as soon as it should while in flight If that arrow is weak and continues to flex (has a low spine rating), it’s going to veer off target Likewise, if the arrow is unforgivingly stiff, it also won’t follow the path the archer intends
Are 340 or 400 arrows heavier?
400 arrows are stronger than 500 arrows 500 arrows are stronger than 600 arrows A weaker arrows is “softer” Generally 600 arrows are for bows from 15–35 pounds in draw weight, 500 for 35–55 pounds, 400 for 55–75 pounds, and 340 for 75–95 pounds
Are shorter arrows more accurate?
If you’re consistent on draw length, arrow length matters little except for precision shooting But, arrow length affects dynamic spine, so if your arrows are the same spine, but different lengths then they aren’t actually the same spine As long as they’re all the same, not really
What does 400 mean on an arrow?
The numbers refer to the spine of the arrow The different spines refer to the stiffness, a 400 spine arrow is generally for bows 40-60 lbs 350 spine is for bows roughly 55 – 75 lbs, and a 500 spine arrow is for bows roughly 30 – 50 lbs
Can an arrow be too long?
No, you can’t have an arrow too longit can be 6′ if you like All you need to do is have the proper spine, tip weight to get the proper FOC (forward of center–AKA balance) and proper fletching longer arrow taking time to recover? not really, the arrow will flex all the way to the target
How do I choose recurve arrows?
When choosing arrows for a recurve bow, the weight is related to the poundage of your bow Lighter bows tend to work best with lighter arrows, and heavier bows work best with heavier arrows
How long should my arrows be with a 28 inch draw?
If you’re a 28-inch draw length and want an arrow that ends at the front of the riser, your arrow length would be around 27 inches However, your arrow length can be longer if you need to weaken the spine of your arrow For safety reasons, your arrows shouldn’t be cut too short
What does 500 spine mean in arrows?
The spine rating of an arrow is simply a measurement of its stiffness The same Easton arrow comes in a variety of stiffness: the lower the number, the stiffer the arrow For example, a 330 arrow is stiffer than a 500 spine arrow So, a 500 arrow bends
Can an arrow be too stiff?
ABSOLUTELY YES,an arrow can be too stiff ,even when shot out of the compounds of today with loops and releases The arrow has to absorb the energy that the bow inserts into it so it will stabilize and fly straight without any side motion to it
Do longer arrows fly better?
The longer heavier arrow will retain its velocity better than the lighter arrow The shorter, faster arrow will have more drag therefore reducing penetration The longer arrow will flex more upon impact, therefore reducing penetration The shorter arrow will have a slightly higher FOC
What grain arrows should I shoot?
Also, we strongly recommend that you use an arrow with at least 5 grains of weight per pound or draw weight (if you are shooting a 60 lb bow, you should use and arrow of not less than 300 grains) This includes your field point or broadhead
What might happen if an arrow is too short for the bow?
Bending, known as “archer’s paradox,” occurs when an arrow is released from the bow If your arrows are too lightly or heavily spined for your bow, the “archer’s paradox” movements will be extreme, resulting in poor arrow flight and loss of accuracy
What is the standard arrow diameter?
Most wood arrows come in diameters of 5/16″, 11/32″, and 23/64″ Be sure to use a test kit or at least use a spine chart when choosing spine
How long should my arrows be based on draw length?
Even an arrow that is just long enough is too short The best safety practice is to make sure your arrows sit at least 1″ beyond your arrow rest when the bow is at full draw A little bit of extra arrow length gives the arrows an important margin of safety A little too long is okay
What does a 340 arrow mean?
As with combination arrows, a smaller number means the arrow has a stiffer spine Therefore, a value of 340 indicates a stiffer and heavier spine while a value of 500 indicates the lightest and most flexible spine
How long should my arrows be for 27 Draw?
weight is suspended from the center of the arrow The arrow must be 29″ in length and supported by two points, which are 28″ apart
