I purchased a WB last season and had the same issues with my vanes getting jacked up. Truthfully, I can't tell you which way my cock vane was positioned, because I did not realize that it made a difference. Dumb on my part!! I just put the WB on my sons bow yesterday so I'll make sure when we get his arrows that the vanes are positioned correctly!!

I did switch to a drop away rest this season and have noticed that some of my arrows have still made contact with the rest (kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?). My bow is at the proshop right now for adjustments and they called yesterday and said that they believe my arrows are too short for my new setup (rest). I was also noticing that my arrows wanted to come off the launcher at full draw, but I read in one post where that is usually caused by nock/d-loop pinch. Thought it would be a quick fix, but guess I was wrong!

Interesting post!
