I have recently made an ash longbow and have started to get my technique together.
One thing that is a problem though is that the fletchings slice my hand between the thumb and knuckle on my bow hand.
The leading edge of my fletchings are not particularly sharp.
What is the correct way to hold or place the arrow so that this does not happen?
Should the hand be tilted one way or the other or should the arrow rest/ride on a correct spot?
