Arrow

[TC prohunter]

How far should my arrow with no broad head on it be out the front of my whisker bisque?

With my grip i keep my arrow one inch in front of the riser. I also use a whisker biscuit.

The farther the better I say. I have a 29 inch arrows. One of my bows is a 28" draw (7" brace) and the other is a 28.5" draw (8" brace). It's not a problem with the 7" brace bow, but I have to concsiously keep my fingers tucked in with the 8" brace bow. I've tried longer arrows, but they fly like crap.

I know it may look goofy, but I've never understood why bow manufacturers don't make some sort of extended arrow shelf that your hand completely sits under. Some guys don't think twice about having the broadhead sit just barely past the rest. To me that's like keeping you fingers in front of but just below the barrel of the gun. The bullet "should" miss it, but...

As a standard, I cut arrows so the insert is flush with the front of the riser. Allows for use of all sorts of heads without riser contact issues and puts tips slightly in front of hand to ensure safety regardless of rest type. The benefits of cutting arrows another inch shorter are minimal compared to what I have stated, in my opinion.

The front of my arrow is about a 1" in front of my arrow whisker biscuit

For safety reasons, if its a fixed blade broadhead keep it at least 3/4" in front of the riser. If it is mechanical bh, keep it 3/4"-1" in front of your arrow rest.

I am using the grim reaper bh

TC - For mechanical bh, keep it 3/4"-1" in front of your arrow rest.

 

[TC prohunter]

It's about 1" in front of my whisker biscuit

TC, you should be just fine!
