If you're shooting a drop-away it shouldn't matter, no.

The whole point of shooting a drop away rest is to eliminate as much contact with the arrow as possible. If you're getting contact, especially with your vanes, I would take a look at how you've got the rest set up. You shouldn't get any contact at all.

I've got the same problem as Zak, but its not really a problem.. If I had my cock feather straight up or Straight down, I'd have clearance issues with my cables. I start out with cock vane up but rotate the nock so the vane is angled towards the riser. Its almost like my old fingers set-up for my flipper rest with the cock vane pointing left. I have no clearance problems with my drop away.

YOU MUST TUNE YOUR DROP IT SHOULD WORK

This is true, but I am unable to get perfect clearance on my rest without having nocks turned a certain way. If I just stuck my arrows on my string the vanes would hit my cable.

Modern bows are so fast even drop aways are having problems getting out of the way. I have to turn mine a certain way also or will get contact. But at 280 fps. that drop away needs to fly away.

On my old Fred Bear Whitetail II bow, which have a two prong rest, my arrows' cock vane is pointed down.
On my PSE Nitro, which have a Bodoodle Zapper 400 rest, which have three prongs (10,2 and6 o'clock positions)...my arrows' cock vane is pointed straight up.
Use whichever way that works best for you......
