Might turn the cock feather in (or otherwise rotate the nock for better feather clearance) , raise the nocking point, raise the brace height, and/or go with a slightly softer spine arrow. Any one might do the trick.

Are you shooting right wing feathers? It seems to be rotating into the shelve.

I shoot cock feather in on all my bows that I shoot off the shelf now. I was getting lower hen feather wear too when I shot cock feather out.

You could raise your nock point slightly and use one of the feather rests. Or just rotate your nocks a touch.

I think I'll try the simplest
first cock feather in, and if that doesn't work play with rotating nocks lastly raise the string nock 1/16 at a time(powder testing for clearance)
Thanks
for the help that's what I love about this site everyone
willing to help!
