You could cut the shaft down but...
1) Will the rest hold up a heavy fish arrow? A fish arrow is usually at least 1500 grains.
2) The more arrowweight you have the better the pentration. Unless my arrows get damaged I shoot them full length. (and I have a short draw length) That extra weight helps drill those fish in deep water.
3) Depending who makes the arrow, the spine weights are all over the board on fiberglass arrows. Cutting it down may make it fly better or worse depending on your set up. (just something to keep in mind)

RE: cutting arrows?
Hey Slayer,
Short arrows can be trouble when you're bowfishing. Pulling your line back past the riser is asking for a tangle or worse. If you cut the arrow, leave your point in front of the riser. Remember, the reason for the heavy arrow is penetration, not speed.
Stick one for me
