Yes. You can shorten it. The pole (I take it you mean the main crossbow that the folding crossbow attaches to) has the bottom fittings pop-riveted to it. Simply measure the length you want to shorten it, drill out the pop rivets, remove the plastic base, and cut to size. (Use a pipe cutter to get a nice square cut on the pipes, not a hacksaw). Then reattach the bottom piece, drill out the holes and pop rivet the base back on. Not a lot of work. I actually did the same thing for mine.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
