drop away and fletching contact
Thought I would show this video because I have seen this posted many times where someone is having fletch contact with a fallaway.
Thought it might help someone out there.

RE: drop away and fletching contact
Some drop aways come with a taller fall arm. Also, on some models you can pre-tension the rest to drop sooner and to stay down without bounce back.
Trophy Taker, QAD Ultra Rest and Ripcord all have these options.

This is one reason a I ALWAYS start out tuning with an unfletched arrow through paper.No way to get a tail high tear with no fletching.

Yes,raise the nock point.Most when paper tuning would not even think of doing that because the result in paper with the arrow coming out the way it is now will cause a tail HIGH tear because the arrow will be pushed up by the contact but the correct fix is to raise the nock to avoid all contact.

When I start tuning a bow. I like to start intentionally high. Especially on trad bows. And move down slowly. And then if I bareshaft tune, its easy to see a high shaft.

I used to do that but most of my bows now have level nock travel and I now just put the bow in my bow vice and level it and then level my arrow and that is usually where it stays.Or pretty close to it.
