It is also very hard to tell when shooting into a foam block target. Try shooting a flecthed shaft thru paper at 15ft. See what type of tear ya get. I believe you are getting some type of contact, try shooting cock vane up! Shawn

Shawn and Javi. You've both got my problem identified. I can see where the belly edge of the window pad is getting chewed up from the 2:00 feather when I shoot with the cock feather out at 9:00. I've switched to cock feather in for now and will probably leave it alone until after I get an arrow bloody. My nocks are glued on, so I will play with some different rotations later. I definitely need to work on my release/anchor and may replace the velcro pad with a thin leather pad to see if that changes things. Maybe start all over with a softer arrow. I may be subconciously correcting for an extra bit of stiffness. Life was so simple pre-archery:-)
