| I have in the past cut down ally's with a fine blade juior hacksaw but wouldn't dream of doing the same with Ace's. Problems are, splitting the carbon wrap and getting each arrow EXACTLY the same length. Most archery shops have an arrow cutter and charge about 50p for cutting each shaft. Many clubs have an electric cutter too (mine dos).
Cutting off the back of barreled shafts has a much greater effect on the spine and can only be done up to a maximum of I think an inch. If you ever buy used Ace's or X10's always check that they haven't been cut off the back, they will probably be too stiff.
