cool! your arrows that I am buying from you are the PERFECT length for me to use my clicker but the aluminium arrows I use for indoors are far too long, hense the reason to cut them down.
how can we work this out?
can I borrow it, or do you want to do the cutting your self?
or bring it to the club so I can get help cutting them?
thank you dave

I will take them away and cut them. Just make sure you include the correct length you want them cut to (arrow length is measured from the base of the nock groove to the end of the shaft) - cos once they're cut, they ain't growing back.

Please highlight the part of my post that you consider to be "grumpy" rather than informing a person of exactly what measurements they are required to make before their arrows are cut down. Also - perhaps before criticising someone you could have the courtesy of leaving your real name rather than hiding behind a false one.

lol lol lol lol dear Guest, I look grumpy when I am trying to concentrate lol I am not unhappy, unless I am not doing well, but its just that I am thinking about shooting lol I do wear my heart on my sleeve, but I rarely get grumpy, if you were refering to this last saturday, I defiantly was not in a good mood, long long week and I was tired and not eaten so you are probably right on this occasion I try not to scare people too bad with my facial expressions and body languge

Just make sure you include the correct length you want them cut to (arrow length is measured from the base of the nock groove to the end of the shaft) - cos once they're cut, they ain't growing back. hey dave, sorry about the whole arrow thing today, we were having a talk (Mickey, peter, me) about have a single bow setup for both aluminium and carbon, and it was of the general consensus that it was very hard to get a single bow shooter to have the bow setup for both kinds of arrows, and since I only have one bow, I should just stick to one type of arrow, if I had a two bow setup and only used carbon for one bow and aluminiums for the other I could shoot one for indoor and one for outdoor, does this make sense to you? do you concur? ;D

I don't agree with that - it is very easy for a single bow shooter to use two sets of arrows, one for indoors and one for outdoors. All you need is a second plunger button. You have one tuned for your outdoor arrows and the other tuned for your indoor arrows. Then all you have to do is to swap them out for the different arrows. If you really wanted to you could also get a string dedicated to your indoor arrows so that you could fine tune your nocking point. Easy

thanks for the help today BTW, I really appreciate it.
about the same bow different arrows thing. in your opinion you think I should keep the aluminum arrows for indoors and the carbons for outdoors?
and just have a different string and different sight settings ?
if thats the case, then you can go ahead and cut the arrows, I will then keep them for indoors , thanks Dave, sorry for the yes, no, yes, no stuff

I personally don't think you will get any benefit between the alloys and your outdoor arrows, at your current level of ability. For large arrows to have a real benefit you really do need to be inside the nine consistantly and hitting the ten alot. No problems helping you out - thats what I'm around for. I haven't cut them down yet, so have a bit more of a think about it and let me know what you decide.
