I'm sure this has been ask a 100 times but I haven't seen it. It's a new bow and I haven't bare shaft tuned it yet. I shoot woods and I didn't have a bare shaft ready to shoot , so I tried a fletched one just to try it out. the feather was hitting my knuckle every time. I know, I'm going to bare shaft it on Saturday but dose it sound like a arrow nock rotation or a string nock issue.

Are you shooting wood arrows? If so maybe try cock feather in and or try raising you nock height about 1/16" to 1/8".

Same here. Not sure WHY it worked, but it did. Right handed shooter here.

x3, also somebody got a good deal on a RH Bitz clamp.  Getting your hand sliced up will not be conducive to good form, lol!

Same issue here, but it was a spine issue.  Needed far lighter spined arrows.

Good luck! All limbs are not created equal in efficiency!

I had the same trouble for me it was a combination of my loose and follow through.  Cleaned up my form and the problem went away.

If you have the correct spine and the string nock is too low this will happen. If your spine is way off it will happen too. Go ahead and bare shaft and I'll bet that once you are tuned this will go away.

If your RH...use LW feathers. Also, lower your grip on the bow a tad and cant the bow slightly more. If your arrow are already fletched with RW, turn the cock feather in.
