Arrow Length – Determining the Best Size for Your Bow

I have been asked by many hunters what the arrow length for a 29-inch draw should be. I am glad you are asking this question because it is something that deserves to be answered correctly! 

The correct answer is an arrow of at least 29 inches in length. It will ensure proper penetration and accuracy when shooting your prey with a bow and arrow. Good luck with hunting season! 

I hope this blog has helped you find the answer to your question! If not, please let me know how I can help you with anything else that may need answering.

Does Arrow Length Matter?

It doesn’t matter if the arrow is made of carbon or aluminum, but for a traditional bow, you need to know what length your draw length is so you can select an arrow that flies at the correct trajectory. If you have too long a hand, then the launch angle will be way off, and all sorts of bad things will happen, including damage to your limbs, pain with the release, even bounce off the opposite limb, which could lead to compound injuries on multi-limbed archers. There are many variables in this scenario, but having arrows suited for your draw length is paramount.

What Are The Different Sizes of Arrows?

An arrow is an object most often associated with a bow and the weapon of choice. The range of arrow sizes for a 29-inch draw length is as follows (from the shortest to the longest):

• 24 inches
• 26.5 inches
• 27.5 inches
• 28.75 inches
• 29.25 inches
• 30 inches    

31-inch arrows will only work with a 25-inch draw. Anything longer would not be safe to shoot due to instability in hand upon release. Back pinching may occur and can cause injury or damage to fingers if released improperly. 22-inch arrows will only work with 28-inch draw bows because of this stability issue.

How Long Should The Arrow Be For a 29-inch Draw?

For a 29 inch draw, your arrow should be 100 grains.

The amount of time you have to take the shot will depend on what type of bow you are using and how far away your target is. However, this leaves no way to account for variations in elevation due to differences in geographical location and altitude! The weight or length of an arrow does not affect flight or accuracy as long as it weighs enough that it’s at least 2-4% heavier than the bow’s pull weight. Using too heavy arrows can cause problems with timing because the mass won’t allow enough time to accelerate the string before release point, resulting in poor release timing and shooting low on the target.

Should Arrow Length Be The Same As Draw Length?

Usually, the answer is yes. However, it depends on the specifics of your needs.

For instance, if you are hunting with a 29-inch draw length, you should shoot arrows at least 29 inches long so that the arrow will be drawn without hitting itself on anything.

However, if you are shooting at targets for fun or sport, there is no need to have both your bow and arrows set up by one another. For instance, if your bow draws 30-inches, you can shoot 28-inch arrows just as quickly as 30-inch ones without risking injury. And because most people find it easier to aim for something shorter than they would be taller, there’s also little reason not to go faster rather than taller when given an option too.

What To Do If Arrows Are Too Long For Draw Length?

One way to fix this is to purchase shorter extenders that are usually adjustable.

If your arrows are too long for your draw length, you could buy shorter extenders. Usually, these are adjustable, so you can put them on the arrow shaft and choose how much faster they will be than the original length of the arrow. If not, there is also a fixed-length line available at archery shops. This fixed-length arrow might cost more than one that’s adjustable, but it won’t slide down onto the rest, causing an extended resting position during shooting. It will stay in place at its shortened length until you need longer ones again.

What Happens If My Arrows Are Too Short?

Arrows are too short when the point is either in front of the bow (overdraw) or behind it (underdraw).

If arrows are too short, it can create instability that could cause problems down the line. For beginners, it’s best not to try and make up for this with speed; instead, work on technique. It’s also advised to change to longer arrows if yours are set right now. It might be hard at first, but there is a learning curve before mastery, like any skill you learn. To correct underdrawing, take your fingers off of the arrow rest for milliseconds to loosen the pressure on your grip, then draw again without changing anything else about how you’re removing.

How To Find The Right Arrow For Your Bow

Search for an arrow and find the right size and shape for your bow, and if you need any help choosing one, you can also get advice from a pro archer at an archery shop. Arrows should be matched with their appropriate bows, but if that isn’t possible, it’s essential to get arrows of different lengths (matching the bow length) until the best fit is found. Having said that! There are two types of bow used for hunting: longbows and recurves. The latter is more popular nowadays because they use spring or other energy stored materials, so it has less power than a longbow but has a more fantastic range. It requires less strength and creates more precision while shooting an arrow which makes them better.

So, what’s the answer to my question? I’m not sure. It depends on several factors that are unique to you and your archery setup. The best way to know is to share some basic information with me about your setup in the comments below!
