Arrow Length

How far over your draw length do you guys or gals cut your arrows? Is there a general rule of thumb?

Arrow length has more to do with spine. Obviously they can't be too short or they won't fit on your rest at full draw. I wouldn't say there is any rule of thumb for how long your arrows need to be, they just need to be cut to the correct length depending on what is the optimal spine for your set-up.

If hunting don't forget you need 6gr per pound, so with a lighter arrow (gpi) you may need an extra inch. 
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.
