I cut them till they are tuned-the length means nothing as long as they are perfectly  tuned, and of course not too short.
What Bjorn said and the Medieval guys had to have them longer because they liked to light theirs on fire   :laughing:   .

I like mine as long as I can keep finding them...  Then again, those that miss the target were obviously not perfect any way...

about 1/2 inch longer than my draw length

Short as possible still being safe and maintaining good flight.  I like them shorter for moving around easier with a nocked arrow on a still hunt.
More bows than I should have!

32.5" arrow for a 31.5" draw... I like the broadhead as far from my finger as I can get it! Hard to find long arrows lucky for me they tune well for me at that length

I usually only like them for the first week after I fletch them, after that I get real mad at em.   :laughing:

I keep them full length for my 31.5 draw.

Hard to find long arrows (especially wood) for us long arm folks. I like 33" but as stated finding those are a needle in a haystack anymore. Long as can get them woodies.

I see the arrow when I shoot and like all my arrows the same lenght and shoot them out of multiple bows. I draw 27 and all my arrows are 28. I tune by adjusting point weight as opposed to cutting the shaft.

Whitetails2

I have a 28" draw and always cut my arrows to 30" long.

I've cut 'e mshorter, kindo f like Charlie showed in his pic, and Ive run 'em 2-3" longer.

When I build arrows I want 2 things- adequate arrow weight, and perfect arrow flight. I do not reference my arrow tip while aiming, so it doesnt matter much to me if theyre a little longer. Ive been running them 28 for the last few years, this last bunch I changed my arrow setp by adding an additional 100gr up front. I upped the spine weight of my shafts, and ended up with a 29" arrow. I could get the next lower spine to shoot well at 28", but the overall arrow wieght wasnt as heavy as I wanted. By ading an addtional inch of shaft, I picked up 15 gr more arrow weight. I wanted them a minmum of 600gr.

I had built some a few years back so that the back of the broadhead would touch my knuckle, which i liked, as its like having a slient clicker on the bow, but as i tweaked my form I found I was short drawing, so now all those arrows are too short.
...stood alone on a montaintop, starin out at a great divide, I could go east, I could go West, it was all up to me to decide, just then I saw a young hawk flyin and my soul began to rise......

I cut my arrows 29" to 30" for my 26" draw.
