Well.....
1. I shot feathers for 3 years and wouldn't return to them. SORRY
2. Yes, that fletch contact bothers me. It bothers me to see my arrow turn during flight and then correct itself halfway down the range. I know that isn't right. I have never had this problem with my other bows and when I compare them....it is like comparing apples to oranges or PSE to Mathews.
3. I am good for spine. I know nothing comes off perfectly straight but I know I can get better than what I have now.
