shooting techniques

mowgli:
Almost everytime I shoot the arrows break the web skin between my thumb and index finger.  Does any one know anything I can do to keep that from happening?

radius:
turn the arrow around so the broadhead is facing the other way? 

wear thin gloves?

toughen up?

boo:
radius, you have got to be one of the biggest smart@ss in hte world dont ya. If you havnt anything good to say, just dont say it.

Mawgli, are you wrapping the front of your feathers? Is the knocking point set correctly, You may want to try a little higher knocking point. Id also check the spine of the arrows.

radius:
now now boo, no name-calling:  this is a family site.

mrkinsey:
I have the same problem.  I found that it was because my fletchings stand too high off the shaft itself.  Try sanding them down really thin prior to lashing them.  Or cover your hand with some leather.
