hey tn! how you doing withh you're shots? sounds like you.re vanes or fletching are hitting you.re arrow rest. what kind have you got on you.re bow? are you shooting with the cock vane uo side ways or down? this all has effects on the arrow. also you might want to try a drop away rest. i shoot a TRAP-DOOR and it works great. don,t let people scar you into thinking you're arrows are going to fall off. oh i am not saying they won,t you just have to be careful with the bow as always. good luck
