fletch hitting my hand

[The Butcher]

bought a new bow, shelf is very close to hand.  Fletch is cutting me lile razor blades. a friend said my arrows were not of the correct spine.  I've been shooting for 40 years, and never had this problem, other than when I was a kid shooting an old lemonwood bow.  I hate to build the rest up, but any other advice?

My arrows were hitting my hand last night.  I lowered my nock point a bit and the problem went away.  My arrows are properly spined though and i think your buddy might not be are off about his spine idea.

I was the opposite of cchef I had to move my nock point up before my trouble went away.
I would play both ways, if a nocking height
change does'nt correct it try some different
(borrowed) spined arrow's?.

You might turn your nock alittle and fix it.

[The Butcher]

thanks guys, I'll try both and it would not hurt trying to turn nock either.

I too had to move my nock point up a bit to eliminate the same problem.  I also built up the rest about a sixteenth of an inch or so as well, although now with the higher nock point not sure it is necessary.  

Good luck!

Moved the nock,up a little, and turned the fletch, and got better results.  thanks
