Default Will 1/8 of inch shorter arrow make a difference?

I just ordered some new arrows over the phone. They came in and when I put them beside my current ones they are about 1/8 inch shorter. Otherwise they are the exact same arrow.

Will this cause a noticeable accuracy difference?

I am hoping not - if they were longer I could consider cutting them down but they are shorter.

Only second season archery hunting. Looking for deer and elk out to 40 yards max. Mix of stand hunting and walking. Using Rage Hypodermic mechanical broadheads.

Would be great to hear from some more experienced archers. Thanks.

Shouldn’t make a difference... but batch to batch carbon weight per inch difference could.

It’s worth measuring your old arrows vs the new ones on a grain scale, I have seen batches of arrows be off before.
