Topic: Arrow rubbing bow: bad release?

Hi guys,

Ever since I switched from my 46# mariner to my 60'ish# SMG I noticed my arrows are rubbing the arrow pass quite a bit more.  I've been working on my release and the results are still inconsistent.  Sometimes I get a clean shot off, more often than not I get another rub.  Is this because I'm pressing my draw hand's index knuckle into the arrow too hard or do I need to push against the jum-tong from a different spot on my bow hand?  For reference, the dark/reddish spot on the heel of my palm is where I've been pushing the grip against:

Re: Arrow rubbing bow: bad release?

Are you using the same arrows for both bows ?  Although technique is crucial, an optimal spined arrow helps consistency , eg on a bad day, I shoot 400's better than 500's with my 50# bow.

Same

There's some weird thing about pushing the index into the string but not the arrow such that you torque the string
