Why should I cut my arrows down?

Archers cut their arrows down to alter the weight and spine of the shaft in order to achieve better flight for their purpose. You will find a lot of target archers cut their arrows down to their draw length or close to it, give or take, to create a lighter and faster arrow. A faster arrow can help significantly with accuracy when changing between distances. Hunters, on the other hand, want a heavier arrow. So provided the spine is correct on the arrow at default length, the extra weight of the shaft will increase kinetic energy and penetration on the target.

So as a basic guide, if you are just target shooting we would recommend getting the arrows cut to your draw length to make them lighter. If there is hunting involved leave them at full length or cut them a little bit to correct the spine of the arrow (usually necessary to make the arrow stiffer, if using heavy broadheads). If you want to do both then cut your arrows to about an inch above your draw length to give you a nice well rounded arrow weight.

To check what spine you should be using, have a look at a chart for the brand of arrow you are buying. For example, if you are getting Gold Tip arrows, check out a Gold Tip spine chart. Likewise for Easton, Victory, Carbon Express and all the rest.
