Can anyone please tell me how long the "out of the box" length of these are?  My shafts are "unique" as length goes (need something like 32.75", less the length of the nock insert....
so 32.25").  Anyone got a measurement on an uncut one?  Also, have any of you used "pieces" rather than a whole one to fill the shaft if you didn't have one long enough?

Thanks

I can measure one tomorrow, but I think the ones I sell are at least 33", maybe longer.

The ones I bought from a Tradgang sponser are 31 1/2" long. I cut mine in half and Gorilla Glue them in behind the insert.  I have heard of people filling half the arrow with one weight tube and the other with another so I am pretty sure that it would work to cut pieces to fill in to get the length you need. If you are not glueing them, it helps to crimp them in a few places so they fit in tighter to prevent rattles.

The light weight black ones I got from Sipsey are 31.5".The others may be longer.

We have some Carbon Express brand 3 gpi here that are 31".  Not all are the same apparently.

I measured my tubes, they are 31.5". When combined with the 1" insert and the nock, it will allow use in about 33" shaft.
