Ok I've got my new bow like 95% done however went I really get back into my draw and let her go the arrow kicks over and roughs up my bow hand....
If I come up a LIL bit shorter it doesn't do it.... Is this form or arra spine related? I'm shootin wasting axis 400 @ 28.5 in. Drawing about 28 inches with 200 upfront. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys

This is a rd glass bow... Nocks are slightly right

Only time this ever happened to me was when my brace height was too low. You might check that...

This will occasionally happen with right wing feathers. Especially if they are very stiff. Left wing feathers never do this as they rotate away from the bow hand, this is why alot of people use them.

Knocking point may be to low, your spine is probably good. If that does not work (you get poor arrow flight) then your shelf is cut to low for the size of your hand and you need to put a thick leather spacer under your rest and raise your knocking point to match (assuming the bow has a locator or recurve style grip).
When I have my arrow spined correctly, I expect the fletched portion of the arrow to fly over my bow hand. The reason it doesn't do it when you short draw is because the arrow is to stiff and is bouncing of the shelf.
