Also when you set your shelf material make sure you leave a gap or "trough" between the shelf pad and the strike plate or material you use (I use seal for both)
Then index your nocks so the shelf feather tip slides into and through this trough.
Its easier on the contact feather and seems to provide cleaner arrow flight.
Whats this trough your talking about? Got a picture or something?
Steve, he is just talking about not putting your shelf rest all the way up tight to your strike plate, leaving a little gap for your feather! Some guys do this some guys don't, I don't!
