I get bullet holes shooting bare shafts through paper at 15′ but there is typically a less than perfect bullet hole when shooting a fletched arrow through paper. The blade on the rest is a standard .010 which I have ground down at the tip to reduce potential contact issues but when spraying foot powder on the fletching there are always lines from the tip of the rest which can vary somewhat, depending upon nock orientation. I have tried various nock orientations but contact always occurs. Should I try a .008 blade?

The top fletching was shot through paper, accounting for the missing powder on the perimeter of the fletching while the second picture was shot straight into the target, sans paper. Comparing the two it can be seen the interference is not consistent but the nocks may be oriented slightly different from each other.

I appreciate any help you can lend.

Phil
