Arrow length.
Greetings,
I shoot a GoldenEagle 70#, 30" draw
I' m in need of some Arrows. I' m also new to the whole
Archery thing, as well as to this forum. I' ve spent a lot of
time reading your great forum, but I' ve seen nothing on how
you choose Arrow length. Any help would be great.....
Thanks,
RFields

RE: Arrow length.
Hi RFields, welcome to the board! 
Well, the only way that I know would is to draw back a long arrow and mark where the arrow sits on the rest at full draw. Then add an inch onto that. Though I am not sure how accurate that is.
My local archery shop has an arrow that is marked like a ruler. They have the shooter draw back and then they take the reading. Then cut the arrows to the proper length.

RE: Arrow length.
Jeramyk,
Thanks for the information, I could go to the local
" Pro" shop, but I was looking into one of these killer
deals, from the likes of, Archery Experts, Bass- Pro, ect...
or maybe, one of the major Arrow Co' s, like Easton or Beman.
And not sure of the length, I should order for my draw length of
30" , I shoot an older bow a Golden Eagle 70# 30" draw, with a 65%
let off. It also has a TM Hunter style rest, as of right now I shoot fingers
but going to the Release, as soon as the funds prevail. I' d like a little heavier
Arrow for the K.E, but lighter one' s have a little more " zip" . I' d also be open for
suggestions on Broadheads, and weights, I know I' d like the fixed blades types.
I' m sure that' s more questions, then anyone' s willing to answer, but just thought
I' d " throw" it out there, to see what kind of feed back I can get. Thanks to all that
at least took the time to read my Rant.....
Do Right, and Fear NO one....
