Have not really taken that much notice to how far they are in front of the pick up arm but will take a rough guess and say 2" I will be doing some more shooting tomorrow so I will take close notice or get my buddy to measure

RE: Muzzy Zero Effect Users
I ask this question because I have it on my 06 Bowtech Tomkat w/ a draw length of 27" and my arrows where cut to 25.5". I'm just seeing what everyone's difference between their draw length and arrow length is. I'm looking at ordering some new arrows and don't really know what to get them cut at.

RE: Muzzy Zero Effect Users
As you can tell from Aussie's reply, there's several of us that like the MZE a lot. I had one on my Tribute I recently sold, and am about to put one on my '06 Allegiance, and will have one on my '07 Black Ice, Guardian and Allegiance as well... so that's four of them I'll have on my current crop of bows.
You'll get different views on arrow length... Probably 95% of people will tell you to simply cut the shaft off in order to leave at least an inch sticking out past your rest. I just got through watching George Ryals' tuning DVD and he goes through an extensive process of figuring out where the "node" is on the arrow, and that determines where the shaft should be cut; it really has nothing to do with how much sticks out past the rest for him.
There's also the issue of shaft length affecting the arrow's spine to consider as well. Obviously, the shorter you cut the shaft, the stiffer you make the spine.

Mert .... I'm a little confused .... does the 25.5" arrows work with that setup?

It does work....however there is very very little of the arrow on the side of the rest at full draw. I ordered the bow package from huntersfriend.com and they sent me Easton Lightspeed 400s w/85gr. tip cut at 25.5" I not sure if they needed to be longer or not.
