Question regarding speed of an arrow vs length. I have the new micro and have been reading up on the various arrow lengths guys are cutting them down to.
Im planning to cut them down to the 15" - 16" range as I don't like them sticking out past the stirrup either.
Sooo on that note, do I lose speed going with a shorter bolt?
Micro arrow length FPS?

Re: Micro arrow length FPS?
No, weight is the factor that contributes more to speed, accuracy would be the greater concern, so only do a few, get a good recipe that works for you, should be fine, and have fun dialing in.

Whatever you do for length, weigh your arrows after they're cut to make sure they're still above the 350gr minimum. Failure to do so can result in limb damage.Northerner wrote:Question regarding speed of an arrow vs length.

Re: Micro arrow length FPS?
I just had my BEE arrows cut down yesterday from 16 1/2 to 15 in and initial test shots at 10 and 20 yards free hand were nice! Once the weather clears up (it's supposed to rain all weekend now) I'm gonna try and do some shooting off my tri pod and freehand to dial her in and see how she does out to 30 yards and further.
I'm also gonna try some Grim Reaper practice heads too to see how they do. I'm anticipating anything major except maybe a little tweaking though
Good luck

....I am envious my brother...I need to take some shots in the basement past the hot water heater for some added excitement!
