Another arrow question

[Fordman]

I am worried that some arrows I just purchased are too long, the arrows came with outserts making them right at 29.5 inches, my draw length is 27.5 inches and the arrows I have been using are 28.5 inches. The guy that I bought the arrows from told me the length of the outsert does not count in the total length of the arrows, is this true?

Enewman an muddy fuzzy will be along in a bit to answer

Standard AMO method is from throat of knoc to the cut end of shaft. So the insert is not included.

Thank you. I feel better now.

Just shoot 'em and see.

I was answering fast. Got a sec now.

I would shoot them just like drycreek said. If the weight is ok for you and they tune good I would not worry. If they seem to be a little weak. You will have to cut the fletching of. Cut from that end to shorten it the refletch

That's kind if a loaded question, shooting outserts myself I know where you are coming from as initially I had similar concerns. I've done a lot of research in this area and have found that if you use the length of the carbon the spine reacts like it should. However, outserts do lengthen the overall length of the arrow which does shift center and allows the tip to exert slightly more influence than an arrow with equal shaft length using a conventional inset design. If the spine in the current arrow is correct you could take about 3/4" of length off the arrow and increase the tip weight by 20-30 grains. This will produce and arrows that will be closer to what you are accustomed to, keep the spine in a practical range and tune well.

What happen to just keep it simple. Shot if works good. If not cut them.
