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.
