None of it is bait and switch. We put what we think is the best arrow for the bow and cover the speeds with multiple arrows on the website. The Flatline comes with the 16 inch EVO arrows and that is what the bow is speed rated with.

That's what I said.

I have all 20” shafts. The bow hanger on my VX is so small it makes hanging it with a hunting arrow, very cumbersome. I can buy a fabricated hanger assembly, or shorten the shafts. I’m debating what to do. If I cut my shafts from 20” to 18.5” would it affect performance and or accuracy? .

Cutting the arrows shorter will change the front of center (balance point).
The arrows will weigh less. The crossbow may need to be re-sighted in.
Lighter arrows fly faster with a flatter trajectory but will have less penetration.
If planning to shoot broadheads make sure there is enough clearance. Hooked
back broadheads require more room than one's where the back slopes forward.
Wishing you all the best.
Take care.

I have read that in theory, a longer arrow is more accurate. I have no idea if that’s really true and if so, how much you have to shorten it to see the difference

You can do that, but as bunny said you will need to resight in. Make sure to leave room for safe loading with a broadhead.

I will cover all the safety points. You guys set up bows for success, and you chose 20” shafts for my bows. To the best of your knowledge, will my accuracy or consistency reduce by cutting and inch h and a a half off? Going to 18 1/2 “ ? Thanks @10PtCrossbow

I’ve had venom x over a year now I’ve never shot a 20” arrow in it . I shoot a 18.25” 410 grain total weight over 1000 shots never had any issues. Shot out to 102 yards well 85 yards I want shot the same spot with 2 arrows had a few Robin Hood’s testing.

I will add I’m not using factory arrows. I’m using 9.2 & 10.4 asap shafts indexed , left offset 1.5 degrees, Versa 2 nocks.

Theoretically it goes down, but likely not by much if any. You would want to go to a 125 grain head as well.
