You have had some great advice...
The problem with lopping off length, and most other tricks to gain draw weight is that you end up chasing your tail.
Yeah, you can lop some off, but you probably haven't got enough enough bows under you belt to really take advantage of what you will learn.
Or to put it another way, for every problem you solve, you will creat another one.
Be proud of your first bow, but be certain, once you've built the second, you will realise how bad the first really was.
Trust me we are all still learning.
Only a couple of days ago, I planed the bamboo backing off a bow I'd just glued up 'cos I wasn't happy with the glue line. Sometime you have to just fess up and move on. Every 'first bow' comes in under weight... that's life.
I like the advice of give it to a kid... it may inspire the next generation and keep 'em of wheelie bows (spits on floor).
The advice you get on here is generally top notch and we all need it at times.
So...
Step away from the bow and grab another stave
Make sure you pull it to full target draw weight as soon as it's flexing evenly and safely.
