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.

Are you shooting right wing feathers?  It seems to be rotating into the shelve.

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!
