If they fly well, 32" isn't too long.  I cut my arrows 29" to 30" for my 26" draw.

There  is  a  direct  relationship  between  length  of  arrow  and  spine, the  longer the  arrow  the lighter  the  spine,  so  you  can  theoretically  shoot  any  length  arrow  if  you  choose  the  right  spine

Ishi did not become the arrow, I suspect. The arrow became Ishi.

I made this big ol' honkin' jungle arrow that's over 50" long just for the helluvit and it flies good.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

If it flies straight- go ahead! Some archers use this to lower their point on to hunting ranges on purpose actually.

 I shoot between 32"to 34"arrows.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
