RE: Length of arrow

Sensible approach is not to have the end of the point projecting beyond the riser. The Easton arrow selection charts are based on the 'arrow length' distance being from the nock groove to 1" beyond the button. This is a sensible physical shaft length. Any excess length is just dead weight slowing the arrow down.

There is no 'fixed' draw length for an archer as the scapulae position are variable. As long as you have good back tension, good alignment and the holding position 'feels good' to the archer then go with it. IMO draw length only increases for archery beginners because they are not taught the proper technique in the first place.
