cock feather?

I just bought my first bow a couple of weeks ago, and I was wondering which way the cock feather should point when you are using a WB. I was thinking down, but a friend of mine told me that it should be up.

The guys I know who use them shoot it up. But try it both ways and see how it works. Mine is up with my Rip Cord..Good Luck

It needs to be pointed up. The black bristles in the center/bottom of the biscuit are stiffer to support the arrow. You don't want your vane bouncing off of those.

I have a WB and was told to have mine up.

Up is right, and if after a few rounds of shooting, your vanes show wear, tears, ripples, try a stiffer shorter vane, like a blazer, I did and the wear went away, also they(WB) have a break in period to soften up. good luck...
