There was a back artical in bowhunter that listed Colorado as tops for mule deer. Need that artical?

    Any arrow longer than 29 inches should do. Just get the same practice tips and broadheads; when I say that I mean get the same grain tips on both or your shots will be wack and get it sighted in, good luck.

    28 or 29 inch arrow will work. You need some overhang past your riser, I am assuming that the bow is a 27 or 28 inch draw not quite enough information in your question- best to go to an archery shop with your bow to get the right arrow set up- glad you’re back into bowhunting- nothing like it!

    Go talk to the folks at
    and
    and include the DRAW-WEIGHT the bow is set at. Arrow length is only one part of your problem…

    Alright, if I understand it right, you have a 27″ draw with a 1″ overdraw. Generally you need a minimum of 1″ of arrow past your REST. Draw your bow back with an uncut arrow and have someone mark a spot on your arrow 1-2″ past where your arrow contacts the rest. So, depending on your rest, somewhere in the 25-26.5″ range

    About 29 1/2-30 inches would be good…When you buy arrows at any archery shop, they should fit them to your draw length and cut them to the right size for free. Take your bow with you when you buy arrows.

    Go to a local pro shop and let them get you set up
