CORRECT ARROW LENGTH
Determining Correct Arrow Length:
Correct Arrow Length can be determined by the following method:
1. Draw your bow using an extra long arrow to your normal full draw.
2. Have someone mark the arrow shaft at least 1" in front of the arrow rest.
This is the correct arrow length for you.
Note: Beginners may want to add 1" or 2" to the correct arrow length to
ensure that the arrow will not be too short once their shooting technique
improves, or their technique changes.
2. Have someone mark the arrow shaft at least 1" in front of the arrow rest.
This is the correct arrow length for you.
Note: Beginners may want to add 1" or 2" to the correct arrow length to
ensure that the arrow will not be too short once their shooting technique
improves, or their technique changes.
Tips
If you don't have a second person to help you measure:
1. You can use your existing arrow or borrow one if you don't have.
2. Tape a clicker on your bow so that the arrow will pass through it at full
draw (just like if you are shooting with a clicker).
3. Measure the length of the arrow tip and distance between the clicker and
the most forward position of the arrow rest.
4. Your correct arrow length can then be calculated using this formula:
* Arrow Length = Measured Distance - Point Length + 1"
* Arrow length in this instance is calculated from the grove of the nock to the
end of the point.

The standard AMO method of measuring an arrow is to find the distance between the groove
of the nock (where the string rests in the nock) to the end of the arrow, not including the insert
or tip.
We measure and trim all arrows to length using this standard AMO (now the
ATA) method. If you have arrows that fit your bow properly, simply measure
one by this method and order the same size. If you are unsure about what
arrow length is appropriate for your bow setup, the next section may help.

Arrow Do Make A Difference
You may be surprised to learn that shooting custom arrows will greatly improve your success in the field - for less
money than you might think. Shooting the proper arrow is very important, if you want reliable and accurate
performance from your compound bow, All arrows are not created equal. An arrow should be built to match the
specific settings of draw length, draw weight and some characteristics of YOUR bow setup. Then, every shot
launches perfectly from your bow without fishtailing or porpoisng. The wrong arrow will not only fly poorly,
profoundly degrage your accuracy. In addition, it may present a safety hazard for you and your expensive
compound bow.
When considering which arrow, the following need to be considered: proper spine, FOC balance, weight,
straightness, fletching material, fletching angle, arrow length, etc., whether its for a set of hunting or 3D arrows.
Archery Arrows
Arrows are referred to as Shafts, a long hollow tube usually made of aluminum or carbon/graphite composite
materials. The rear of the arrow is fitted with a small piece of molded plastic called a NOCK, which is how the
arrow is physically attach to the bow's string. The front of the arrow has a small aluminum (sometimes plastic)
sleeve called an INSERT (which is glued or hot melted into the end of the shaft. The insert has a threaded hole in
the other end to screw in your arrow Tips (field points, broadheads, judo-points, blunt-tips, fishing tips, etc). The
next component is the arrow's FLETCHING. Arrow fletchings are usually colorful parabolic shaped pieces of soft
plastic (vanes) or feathers. Most often, three fletchings are glued onto the shaft in an equally spaced circular
pattern, with two fletches one color and the the third fletch a different color (the cock-fletch). During arrow flight
the fletching is very important, for steering and stabilization.
