Getting arrows cut

[JLS]

Because he's always punching himself in the junk.

My arrows are usually cut so at full draw the shaft is even with my riser. I wouldn't recommend cutting them any shorter because of what has already been mentioned with your arrow popping off your rest with a broadhead isn't much fun.

I've been fletching my own arrows for years and have never heard of "center-cutting" shafts. Please elaborate on this.

Read it in a magazine a few years ago.  If your stock arrows are 36" and you need them 26", you have the cutter cut 5" from each end.  Theory is that most of the flaws in the shaft are at one or the other end and that the center of the shaft is "More true" so to speak.

Very cool. I learned something new today. Thanks DJ. I don't know why everyone always says you're so dumb! 

LOL.  I don't know if it's fact or superstition or if it actually helps at all but, hey, why not?

It sounds like it makes sense to me.
