My left hand (the one that holds the bow) Keeps getting sliced by my fletching

I use 5.5 inch shield cuts with Left Helical. Other than wear a glove on my bow hand is there a solution?

I tried trimming the bommom of the quill down but to no avail.

zarbaby

what kind of bow are you shooting that allows the fletching to pass that closely to the hand ? A Robertson shelf is cut ultra low but even with shooting that I never, ever got feather cuts ??

Do you shoot cock feather in? or out? try changing?

I get cut once in a while, but that is not too often. I agree with changing the position on the cock feather. Or moving to a lower profile feather.

Also where are you getting cut? On the hand or finger? Is your finger wrapped around the back of the bow or pointing toward the target?

I am getting cut between my thumb and first finger right on the top of the hand

Cock feather has been out

I shoot a preditor recurve by ron pittsley

Thanks for the hekp guys and gals

BH I used to have that problem a lot. Found two things to help.

1. Raise brace height a little.

2. Found some of my fletchings and a sharp point on the leading edge. Trimed it down with a razzor and coated with Fletch Tite.

Wa LA. End of cuts.

Im only going by what i have read, but you might look at using left helical, instead of right. Like I said, I have only read about this info, Ive never had the problem, so I could be completely wrong.
