It appears worth mentioning that reducing shaft length (as compared to the traditional ratios 75/115, 90/130, 100/140, etc.) does not only impact ballistics but also aiming. For example, on a closed muzzle 90cm classic eurogun with a 115cm shaft (instead of 130cm) you will have difficulties seeing the tip of the shaft and, hence, aligning your shaft with the target is greatly impaired.

P.S. This is obviously not an issue, if the gun in question features an open muzzle and circular bands. That is why, for example, Pathos/Effesub or Seac Sub (X-fire) arbaletes are sold with shorter than standard shafts.
