How do you know if you have fletch contact?
I was wondering how you tell if you have fletch contact? I don't want to spray foot powder on because I have mole skin on the rest. I was wondering how much fletching contacted can affect a shot. I just got my drop away rest adjusted and I'm not sure it is getting out of the way quick enough. I'm still shooting good just not as good as I use to.

Nuge, I have the same rest as you. For me its easy to tell because if I see a vane wrinkling or any smudge on a vane...then I am not getting good clearance. So far so good for me.

hmmmmmmmmmmm. maybe try a small peice of scotch tape on the down side of the fletching, put it on both sides and after you shoot if the tape is scruffed up or torn off then most likely it is hitting your drop away.
I just got mine sighted in yesterday with two shots..........boy i am getting good let me tell ya! I use a trap door drop away and it is great.

Adjust the fall-away to fall before the acceleration pressure on the string comes to an end; about 8-10” of the power stroke. That way the bow will not be loose in your hand until the rest falls away.

Nuge, if you shoot a newly fletched arrow and one vane is wrinkled while the others are not........its more often then not that vane making contact.

Well I just got my bow paper tuned again today and it is shooting bullet holes and my broadheads are hitting with my fp so I'm not even going to worry about it.
