Default New Bowhunter with arrow question

Just picked up the Diamond Justice last night along with some carbon arrows I had cut. I was under the impression that when shooting I should be sure that the odd fletching was pointed up. The problem is that the arrows I purchased don't allow me to shoot like this. The knock is positioned so that the odd fletching points either directly left or right when I put it on the string. As a result, there is no way for me to put the arrow on the string which will allow it to travel centered through the WB I have installed. Am I missing something or do I need to return these arrows. Thanks guys.

Jamie

The nock should twist in the arrow. nock your arrow and then twist it around to the position you wantyour vanes.

I sure hope there not glued because it will weaken them and they will brake

It really doesn't matter as long you are shooting good and all the arrows are the same. With a Whisker Biscuit you want the odd vane up. Otherwise, you want it whichever way gets you adequate clearance.
