What if my fletching is hitting my drop-away rest?

Question:
What if my fletching is hitting my drop-away rest?

Answer
There are many times when an archer’s drop-away is functioning perfectly but their fletching may be making contact with their rest anyway. Often this can be a function of not having level nock-travel or having your nock too low. Try to move your nocking point up if this is happening to you.

For more info see this slow motion video. We don’t know who made it, but it sure is a helpful and we’re thankful for it.
