Probably best to ask D-rock on this. I'm told his draw length is similar to Verne Troyer.

Depends on WDFW definition of what a arrow is..

To me it takes 3 parts to become a arrow

knock-shaft-broadhead

Therefore I would think that it would measure from the tip of the broadhead to the end of the knock. :twocents:

a quick Google search came up with this.

Correct arrow length is measured from the bottom, inside of the nock groove (deepest point where the string goes into the nock) to the cut end of the shaft. See Easton Tuning Guide, page 15 for illustration. Visit the downloads section for free download of the Easton Tuning Guide.
