I have read that you should build your arrows so that the woodgrain is horizonal when the nock is on the string, and ready to shoot. What happens if you have the woodgrain vertical? I just realized that I made a boo boo when I nocked 3 of my arrows. They seem to fly ok, but what is the downside? Does it make them weaker?
I got another dozen ready to be built. I'll pay attention this time when I glue the nocks on.
