I have been using a 125cm shaft on the 90 gun for a while and have not noticed any such problem. I am considering shortening more now with the flopper change. What do you say??? BTW buying a new gun is not an option.
It depends on whether you are using a closed or open muzzle arbalete:

On an open muzzle gun you can go down one whole size without any problems (e.g. use a 115cm shaft for a 90cm gun).

However, doing the same on a closed muzzle gun generally impairs aiming because you can no longer see the tip of the shaft.
