I'm now retired and have time to get back to bows and hope you can point me in the right direction, maybe with answers, maybe just with some good search terms.
I'm shooting a Chek-Mate Falcon 60" recurve "off the shelf" (I think the term is) and can't find a good nock orientation that will keep the fletching from being mangled. How do I approach a fix for this? I'm also considering selling it for our retirement move if I can't correct it quickly, so maybe that's the answer...

If your feathers are being mangled from contact on the riser, then your arrows are too stiff not letting your arrow to paradox correctly arround the riser.

Okay, thank you both. I'll try raising the nock point before buying new arrows.

I agree with Bomerang. The eating/wearing of fletching is usually not a nock height issue. It's mostly spine related. Properly spined arrows will paradox around the rest.
Try putting a piece of popsicle stick, or match stick under the side plate and rug. Then adjust the nock and see if that helps. If not, your arrows are probably too stiff.
