Raw Meat!!

[Bonecracker]

Ok, just recently the fleshy area between my thumb and index finger is being rub raw by contact from my fletching! I have big hands so I know that has a little to do with it but this was not happening before. I was forced to change the velcro on my arrow rest as it fell of during a pig hunt (mucho rain)! I am shooting an A&H ACS long bow 64" 53# @ 28" brace height 7 1/4. Thanks!!

wear a glove

twist your nocks just a touch

Try tape ?

[Apex Predator]

You can always glue on a piece of leather under the velcro on the shelf to give you a little more clearance.

Dustin's recommendation will probably get you there though.

[JC]

If the shelf material was a different thickness than before, you will have to adjust your nock point.

[Bunny buster]

maybe you should try switching to left wing feathers, or vise versa.

[Encino Man]

As Dustin and JC suggested, raise the sting nock. The Velcro is fairly thick and would give the same results as it being nocked too low.

Dustin: I am shooting 4"/4 fletch! I am running out of fletch positions as they say! LOL!
I have 2 small 1/4" cuts on the top of my left hand.

JC: Yes the Velcro is the same thickness as I used before. Maybe a little thinner but not by much!

Coaster500: Try Tape? How do you think I have been shooting the last few days. Duct tape is a wonderful thing!

I guess I am going to put a small piece of leather under the Velcro and see what happens!

Bone, call Dan at A&H.  Great folks I'm sure they can help.  H

Hand transplant! can you lower you hand on the riser a bit?

[Chris O]

Cock feather in? I recently switched to shooting like this after watching masters of the bare bow.  That is of course as long as your shooting with it out now  

[SELFBOW19953]

I like lpcjon2's idea, a hand transplant-from your hand to mine.  You would have no more feather cuts!!

[sagebrush]

I got Bear hair on mine. It is a little thicker. The fletch still hits my hand occasionally but I have pretty big fletch. My bow is Acs Cx 64 inch, 55 @28. I pull it to 30inches. Gary

Ok I called my Orthopedic Doctor and we are going to do a hand transplant if I can find a smaller hand! Anybody want to contribute to the cause???  

[FerretWYO]

Check your elbow position on your drawing hand. make sure your alignment is good that may help. if nothing else has changed mechaniclly it sounds like a form issue.

I have a recurve that touches my hand as well. Never really have figured out why but it shoots good ha ha.

[lpcjon2]

Bonecracker I can get you one at work...LOL You should try the rest change,or go with a leather driving or golf glove

[knife river]

My 4x90 fletchings cut me, too.  Not the 3x120, though.  Same shaft, same length, same weights, same everything except feathers.

[Bonecracker]

See, I am not the only one with racing track  marks on my hand!! I guess you have to man-up as they say to shoot the ACS longbows!      

FerretWYO! Randy, I was told I had near perfect form! And if you believe that I have some nice beach front property for sale in Wyoming for ya! LOL!    

[FerretWYO]

I heard a song once talking about the beaches of cheyenne. I am still looking for them lol.
