Agree, check the timing. The rest should engage at the last of the draw cycle. If it engages too early it will release too late.
All three fletchings look torn up, that can't all be from hitting the rest. With the offset on the fletching, might need to turn your nock a little.
Check and make the fletchings arent rotated so that they are hitting the riser.Other than that just check the timing on the rest.
Yes it can the rest may not be falling at all until the the fletchings hit and force it to fall. I don't know for sure what's going on, but this is a possibility.
well...checked using powder - no contact on the arms, cutaway or cables. I took it down to the best bow guy I know (Tom -52 years in the business) and he has never seen it either. We double checked everything in his shop too. As long as its not affecting my accuracy, I'll just figure it's something to keep digging into and press on. I also got a response from 'Shawn' who stated:Your feathers are brushed up forward towards the point end of the shaft because the abrupt stop when hitting the target. This is common once feathers have been on a while. Try putting brand new feather on and shoot. I bet they do not look like that after shooting but once you shoot them for a few months they will. Shawn My response:.....those particular practice arrows have a lot of miles on them. I've been making my own for 30 years or more and apparently have never 'overshot' any to the point of wearing out the integrity of the fletching. Your explanation makes sense and sounds like you've had a few yourself. That's one the great things about bow hunting - always learning something. Again - thanks to everyone for your input. Good hunting and be safe. Thanks again everyone......Dave....
