Bob,
It is no problem removing the feathers as the string will keep the arrow
straight.

Yes, that’s EXACTLY how I learned why I needed to use the heavy glove. I once
had a VERY swollen and painful knuckle from a similar experience to yours and
it prevented me from doing a lot of things for several weeks. Fortunately it
did not take a similar experience for me to start using a faceshield. That I
did from the beginning.
I also use a nitrile glove on my pull hand (right hand).
I learned not to use a bow and arrow because I have had the feather on the
arrow cut my finger more than once. I don’t have good technique and decided
that for me the slingshot was safer and easier to use.
