First of all, what orientation is your cock vane and how many vanes / feathers do you use?That determines which end of the receiver you use and where your cock vane is located.

If you are using three vanes, the cock vane position is the first to be determined. If you shoot cock vane up or down, then place a nocked shaft in the jig with the nock groove in a vertical position with the three indentations of the nock receivertoward the main body of the fletcher. Look into the end of the receiver that you will place your arrow nock into and verify that the "V" of the internal locator is vertical. If you shoot cock vane out, (left or right), make sure the "V" is postioned accordingly. The "V" locator will then be in a horizontal position. And you will see the middle indentation facing UP.

That process sets your cock vane position and I always mark thereceiver with a paint mark in the centerindentationof the receiver.

The clamps can be marked to locate the vanes at therear end of the clamp inthe same location using a Sharpie permanent marker. Once this is done, I place a 1"-1 1/2" wide piece ofclear packaging tape the entire length of each side of the clamp jaws. This protects the mark and the clamps from fletching adhesives.

The adjustment of the shaft rest: I set the v shaft rest at the TOP of the fletcher slightly to the left when viewed from the back (nock side of the fletcher). On both the Mono- and the Multi-Fletcher you can also shift the block that the nock receiver fits into, always a slight bit in the opposite direction of the front v shaft rest. This gives an offset vane if you are using a straight clamp.

If you fletch using a right or left hand helical clamp, you can use these adjustments to increase the helical twist; but do so VERY slightly.

I can e-mail you pics of the receivers and how I set-up my Multi-Fletchers if you wish.
