You can tell if it is making contact by putting a little lipstick on the vanes before you shoot. The lipstick will stay on the vanes and will only show red on what they make contact with. If they are making contact you could switch to using feathers as they are more flexible and forgiving concerning arrrow tuning.
I have never tried this, but it sounds like a very solid tip. Good thinking. Will remember this. Thanks.
