How much arrow do you have in front of the button at full draw

Does anyone know how much arrow (includes point) that should be in front of the button or to put it another way what's the distance between your button centre and the clicker. mine is 1 3/4"

[its my party and]

I bought one put it on the bow took it off again and put it in my bag. So sometimes its within a few inches when the lids down and maybe 10 mtrs when im shooting! I really should give it a go sometime!

It doesn't really matter. If your clicker is too far back there's no adjustment, and obviously there's a limit to how far forward your clicker will go, but as long as your arrow is spined correctly, and can fit under the clicker it doesn't matter.

25 mm forward of button.

Surely if there is too much arrow in front of the button, this effects the nodal points of the arrow, which in turn will effect clearance (to a lesser or greater degree depending on how critical the bow tune is)?

For safety's sake, you shouldn't go below 25mm (or 1 inch).

Exactly the same here, might try it again now my arrows are shorter

I have the clicker close to the back of the riser, so the arrows are about 1.75" past the button centre, same as yours. This is also said to be the right sort of position to get the arrow "nodes" to work best - not convinced of the importance of nodes myself, but I've set things up right for them just in case.

Ive put 1.5 to 2" due to the fact my draw length is 26.25"(including +1" from button)just never got down to getting my accs cut and im not scoring too badly some of the time

This the only time I'll ever brag about only having one inch...

The shorter the arrow, the lighter and faster it is. This leads to a lower flight trajectory needed to get the arrow up to the target.

This is critical outside, as 9 times out of 10, your shooting in windy conditions. - the faster, "flatter flying" arrow won't be affected by the wind as much.

I really made the effort last season to keep my arrow length to a minimum last season and reaped the benefits as I became more competitive - it wasn't the only factor but it certainly contributed to some consistent scores.

Hope this is of some use to someone.
