Title: another question about fall away rests
Post by: NW-Eric on September 25, 2008, 01:44:45 PM: i read something about fall aways not working with shorter arrows... is this true.

my draw length is only 26.5" and was wondering if my arrows would be to short to use correctly with fall aways all help and info is appreciated.

thanks
eric

So yes, a longer draw length (longer arrow) will be easier to tune...but a shorter arrow is not impossible.

Also, there are some rests (Spot Hogg, for instance) that drop quickly and will keep contact with the arrow longer...which would be easier to tune for shorter arrows.

Hope that helps.
