I use a string loop and release..I notice now my arrowhead is barely out front of my rest..I'm already shooting a 31 " arrow..I'm not even sure if they carry any longer ones..

Question..
When adding a release and string loop should one buy longer arrows?

How are they flying? If you are shooting well don't fix what ain't broke . My DL is 29". My arrows are 28 1/2". Like yours, my heads get very close to the riser. I have about 3/8" clearance between the BH and the shelf. That is more than enough and I have great arrow flight.

They are flying good..I got about 1/4 inch before the riser..[]

What is your draw length?

I didn't even know Chuck bowhunted, I thought he lived on his boat and pounded monster bass all year long

The loop and release are all BEHIND the arrow nock; adding or removing as such shouldn't affect the arrow's length and corresponding rest clearance one bit.

If you add a D-Loop and maintain the same anchor point your arrows should seem longer and give you more clearance not shorter.

Most full length arrows are 32" I thought, but the loop won't make any difference, and really if you adjust the draw-length to adding a loop, you could actually shorten the arrow. As long as the arrow has clearance, it shouldn't be a problem really unless you're shooting some of the wild turkey BH's that need greater clearance. If you'd like to gain more clearance, you could cut your DL 1/2 and use a little longer loop, and it will essentially give you a little more arrow past the rest, without having to buy arrows.

Yep..I love bow hunting..I'm just like you guys..

My draw is 31" andI even had it checked out at a bow shop..My arrows are 31" as well..

Thanks for the replies..

Like the others said Chuck, a string loop has nothing to do with arrow length. It will effect your over all perceived drawl length, but the actual draw length of the bow does not change, so the arrow length should not either.

If this is problem that wasn't there before have your bow checked to see if something didn't change, like a string stretched or something moved on you. Or possibly if you got new arrows they were not cut to correct length.

The end of your shaft (not the point of your tip) should be one inch in front of where your arrow contacts the rest. You might possibly be able to move the rest back a bit if you have to, but would rather see you get the correct length arrows or possibly shorten your draw length. Most shoot too long of a draw length anyway. That would have to be something to have someone with some knowledge check though. They would need to watch you shoot.
