I stressed out about the same thing when I began, , but I'm now shooting well at 5 1/2 in. brace  with short 60" or so bows and do not see any Ill effects.

why does it matter if the fletches touch at brace height? when you draw the bow they wont touch and when ya release the arrow they all touch for a sec. does it really matter? I have been flintknapping a few years and I just started dabbling with making primitive bows so I was just wondering. do me it doesn't seem that it should make a difference.

Well I was just thinking that it will probably tear up the feathers.  They touch before drawing.  On a knuckle shot bow  that means that when drawing the feathers are rubbed backwards  adding wear and tear.  I'm uisng 5" long fletches adn I may drop that down in the future.


Still cant get into my photobucket account.  The bow is on my Face Book Account.
