I talked to the local arhery shop here and he told me that with most the new bows shooting so fast that the drop away rests arnt falling fast enough. i just noticed that my fletchings are hitting my rest and i have the trophy taker. i couldnt tell untill i painted my arrows and the paint was rubing where the flethching was hiting. about the only thing you can do is ask they arhery shop if they can speed your rest up but thats not a 100%

I think you have a clearance problem.

1. Check your clearance.
2. Remove your fletching
3. Put on FOBs
