Could be , I have never used shorter than the bow was made for. Also you have to make sure you have the right nock in the bolts. There is flat nock and half moon, check your manual. If your using cheap alloy bolts they can easily bend after a few shots.
What is the scope on it?
Are you shooting field points? All the same weight?
Are you cocking with a rope?
