Generally when at full draw as long as the broadhead blade can't touch the bow/riser or come back so far that it touches the rest you are good to go.

My PSE only has about 3/4" of arrow left and looks similar to your pic at full draw, you could probably add 1/2" of arrow length if you ever replace the ones you have but any more than 1" of added length will weaken the spine stiffness slightly.

thats about where mine comes back to as well. food for thought....the shorter the arrow, the less flex you get and the lighter your arrow is. Lighter not always being better, if and when you replace your currents arrows, adding a bit of length, as Bowhunters has already stated, will not hurt unless you go too far. You generally do not want teh insert of your arrow to stick out past the biser on your bow.... as long as teh blades of your broadhead do not make contact with the riser or the shelf. Just my humble $.02
I keep hearing this voice in my head that tells me to stay home and clean my guns...
