Distance from limb/prodholder to string latch?

I have the factory string as well

Is that a general rule or for that pirticular model?

My own guess was 17" sense thats the length of their shortest bolts and there is a massiv slot for the arrowhead between the limbs?

I believe the ‘slot’ in the riser is to accommodate the cock feather’s flight path, not the broadhead (the cock feather of a three fletch bolt).

When your bow is drawn and the bolt is placed for release, the broadhead will extend beyond the front face of the prod, not inside.
