Title: Wood arrows at 32" ??

I would like to build a dozen wood arrows but have shyed away in the past because of my long draw. What are my options?

Use some "reparrows" from Jim Davis.

Call some of the arrow manufacturing companies and see if they will make extra long ones for you. You'll definetly need a high spined arrow for a 32" draw length.
If you need help finding some of the manufaturers let me know I should be able to help a little.

The standard arrow length is 32" so your options are , make your own shafts or get someone to custom make some for you ( good luck)!
The other option is footed arrows, I have one customer with a 34" draw , we make 35" shafts with footing so he can achieve this draw length.

I feel your pain.  All good advice here - footing with Reparrows does a good job.  I actually foot the back of the shaft and put it under a wrap.

A bigger problem is finding anything in the spine class when you get to this length.  For my 55# bow, I'm shooting 105/109# spine shafts. That is only using 125-135 gr heads too.  Not too much around in that class.....  Don't even think about EFOC
