Might turn the cock feather in (or otherwise rotate the nock for better feather clearance) , raise the nocking point, raise the brace height, and/or go with a slightly softer spine arrow. Any one might do the trick.
I would try rotating the nock.
Are you shooting right wing feathers? It seems to be rotating into the shelve.

I beleave the lower hen feather may be doing the above (I'm going to powder test tomarrow)
I shoot cock feather in on all my bows that I shoot off the shelf now. I was getting lower hen feather wear too when I shot cock feather out.
A drop away rest ?

You could raise your nock point slightly and use one of the feather rests. Or just rotate your nocks a touch.
I think I'll try the simplest :smileystooges: first cock feather in, and if that doesn't work play with rotating nocks lastly raise the string nock 1/16 at a time(powder testing for clearance)
Thanks :notworthy: for the help that's what I love about this site everyone :campfire: willing to help!
