Have a quick question regarding purchasing arrows. How long should your arrows be with respect to your draw length? Should they be the same length or should they be a little longer than your draw length?"
Kind regards,
Gordon M.

Hey Gordon!
One inch longer than the draw length is very common.
Some people have a habit (or like having the option) of overdrawing the bow and go for two inches past their normal draw length.
Some people also try to save weight (to increase speed slightly) by having only half an inch past their draw length.
Happy Shooting! Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,

Note
Various cultures also historically used really long arrows for bowfishing or for hunting birds. The really long arrows would be easier to find / would float in the water, making their retrieval easier. In some cases the arrows would be almost as long as the bow or even longer than the bow itself.

Archery Testimonial
Had an awesome time learning archery the past month, the lessons had a good balance between formal and chill atmosphere. Learned a lot about how to safely and properly handle the bow, but more importantly also about the proper ettiquette shooting at a public range; because nobody wants to be 'that guy'.
