Can I shorten it to 66 or 68 inches at this point? It's tillered but not finished.
My hope is that this will remove some of the curve and perhaps raise the draw weight.
Thanks

Yes and no. If you shorten the stave, it will absolutely need re-tillering and that might negate the reason why it's been shortened.
Tillering a stave is an art of sorts, and it usually takes going through a number of staves/boards to learn the craft ... even so, all wood is different and sometimes it is what it is.
