Default Cock Feather

What way do you place the cock feather on your arrow. I am shooting a Trophy ridge drop zone and i shoot with my feather up. Does anyone else do this or what ways do you put it?

Most drop aways recomend you put it up, that gives you the mose clearance for your rest. In some cases dependingon the bow you have to have it pointed left for clearance of the cables. I have mine pointed up, really helps with clearance on the drop away with a fast bow.
