ARCH - Combat bolt question...

[Bob Dewart]

Greetings and Hi There

Are you changing  the max length of the arrow to 28 inches?  Before it was a
max draw length of 28 inches, which isn't the same thing.  The max draw
length is measured from where the string rests to the base of the combat
head.


5.   Maximum allowable draw length (bottom of the nock slot to just behind
the blunt) is    28 inches.
