RE: Cock Vane Question?
To avoid cable clearance issues, I keep the cock vane pointing to the left. I use a drop away. I use all white vanes, and to aid in determining the cock vane during practice, there is a little index bump on the nock that tells you which way the arrow goes on the string. I feel for the bump on the nock and it points to the left as well. A visual check is good too. If I'm hunting and wearing gloves, I have to just look to be sure the arrow is positioned correctly.
