does a bow with a shelf perform better
PEARL DRUMS:
My comment wasn't about the feather tickling your hand on its way gone. It was about the thickness of the glove and the way you have to change your hand/grip position to accommodate that. Your hand is obviously larger with a glove on and would raise the arrow upward if you didn't move your hand down.

That's not a problem either.I'm not shooting with a carved in pistol grip handle with a shelf.I shoot bulbous handles.Another modern adaptation.It's easily adjusted with an ever so slightly different grip.It's never that much that I need to change my nocking point on my string.I use dental floss string nocking wraps.
I don't need to convince anybody about this.It's just a fact that's proven to myself over and over.
I'll add here for the skeptical.Your string nock has to be adjusted to your arrow pass with the bow in tiller at full draw drawing in a straight line while on the tillering tree from your string nocking point.Your arrow shaft has to adjusted to your bow.
If any of those things are not right you won't shoot well and with centershot bows even without shelves and full length tapered shoot shafts it gets even better or more forgiving yet.
Each to his own I say.
Kidder:
The aspect of a shelf that I find the most helpful is the consistency that can be added. You have a consistent point of contact with the arrow. A proper shelf will have a bevel that minimizes contact with the arrow. These factors increase performance in one sense.

Maybe for some but it's hog wash to me.I'm just as consistent the way I do it.

My truck needs a hog wash. Cant even tell what color the pig is.
