Feathers scraping hand
« on: May 16, 2007, 09:23:00 AM »
Any advice on correcting my feathers ocassionally scraping across the top of my hand?

Every once in a while, the quill catches the top of my hand.

Thanks

Hey Gator1! I am assuming you are shooting a longbow. If so, what bow are you shooting?

The Bow I'm shooting is a Kanati, it has the look of the Shrew, kind of a forward hangel riser.

I will try spinning the nock, great idea...

I've finally got done Bare Shaft Tuning CX250's...  So i'm getting ready to order up some shafts...

Also put a dab of fletch tite or whatever glue you use on the forward edge of the quill so when it does hit your hand, it will slide over it rather than cut into it.
