Arrow Length

I dug the Old Bent Stick out today at varying distances. I noticed that my scores were far better when using the arrow tip for aiming.

Edit. Stupid question removed

the question you have to ask yourself is can you get a significantly longer arrow with the same spine rating and weight? so as not to upset any tuning you have done to get your bow shooting as good as it is now?
