Decided to go all in on archery. Got all the equipment for a home bow shop.
As other post I have posted indicate, I am building some new arrow setups. Totally from scratch.
Before cutting my arrows and starting the build, I decided to take my primary bow (Matthews Vertix) and put it on the draw board and measure the actual ATA draw length it is set to. When I did, I discovered my actual draw length is 30.5. I thought my measured draw length was 29.5 (pretty sure of it).
I also set my current arrows (set up for a draw length of 29.5 - 30.5ish long) on the bow and noted there is about 1/4" of space off the end of the insert (didn't have a tip in it). I actually put a broadhead on it and put it back in, and I am surprised I have not been cut. They hang over my fingers.
Doing my research I see that your arrows should be 1" - 2" longer than you draw... That would make mine 31.5 - 32.5. I can do the full 32.5 because the arrows (pre cut) are 34. Should I go short (31.5), long (32.5) or take the bow back to the dealer and have him set it up to 29.5.
I have three bows and I have noted that this (vertix) is the one that doesn't want to pull me back forward out of my anchor position - even though it is my heaviest draw weight bow.
