odd feather up?
 

how many of you put the odd feather/vein up?, does it really matter?

RE: odd feather up?
 

Shooting a drop away style rest, it doesn't matter.

does it matter with a WB?

RE: odd feather up?
 

I've one both and it doesn't matter with my bow because I use a dropaway. However, the question was what do you use and I put the cock feather down because I think it looks cool! :D

RE: odd feather up?
 

When I make my arrows the cock goes on first therefore it faces out but I too shoot a drop away so it doesn't matter.

shooting a WB, cock vein to the left.

IMHO I think it does matter with the WB. All 3 vanes should go thru the brown whiskers. I'm not sure but I think with my set-up , with cock-vane down 1 vane would shoot thru the "gap" on my WB. I'll take a look when I get home.

Cock feather OUT. But with my Muzzy, it really doesn't matter. But you do something one way for 38 years and have been successful, you don't change it.

RE: odd feather up?
 

With a Wb it should go up. You do not want the vanes to go thru the black portion of the WB disc. It is stiffer and could cause your vanes to come off.

mine goes up.

cock feather up on wisker biscuit. With cock feather up the flights won't hit the outside housing. Plus the black bristles at the bottom are stiffer, this lets the other two flights pass along each side of the black bristles without contact with them.

"from my experience"

my friend shoots odd feather up through his W.B.

RE: odd feather up?
 

So you guys are saying.....if you shoot a drop away......all your arrows could be "different"...and as long as it's a drop away it won't matter?

I shoot a drop away.....and on ALL my arrows .....I orient the cock vane the same on every shot (up).

Matter or not....I like to think I'm recreating the same thing on every shot.

RE: odd feather up?
 

I shoot cock feather up on my compound because of my rest. Its three prong rest requires it.

Other than that the only reason it maters is if it would hit something. Unless you talking the WB and then all of them should pass through.

RE: odd feather up?
 

lol where did you find this post from.

RE: odd feather up?
 

mine is down on my WB

RE: odd feather up?
 

on a WB the cock fletching should be up..any WB ive seen atleast. the middle of the bottom of the WB is a stiffer bristle and your vanes should not pass through them..they are there to support the arrow...

RE: odd feather up?
 

On my drop away, i used to shoot with the odd one down, but noticed a bit of blackening on the tip of the cock feather. Figured it was hitting the drop way before it cleared. My brother had the same issue, switched to cock feather up.

RE: odd feather up?
 

down for me

RE: odd feather up?
 

I use a drop away with the cock feather down

RE: odd feather up?
 

I shoot a QAD drop away rest, and as others have said it shouldn't matter, but I agree with Jeff. I want everything to be consistent from shot to shot, so I shoot cock feather up every time. It probably doesn't make one bit of difference, but it makes me feel better and since archery is largely a psychological game it helps.

RE: odd feather up?
 

I shoot a drop away. I also shoot cock up but I have also shot cock vane down and there is no difference.

RE: odd feather up?
 

I shoot four feathers ;).

RE: odd feather up?
 

I used to put the odd one down untill my pro shop guy said to turn it up shooting threw a whisker biscuit because it effects the flight, I dont really see a differance.

RE: odd feather up?
 

Cock up for me though my QAD. Trad gear, cock out. As in "rock out with your cock out."

RE: odd feather up?
 

Mine goes down...

RE: odd feather up?
 

Cock feather up on the QAD drop away otherwise you may have a cleareance problem. On a wisker biscuit the cock feather needs to be up as well.

RE: odd feather up?
 

I shoot with cock vane down, but I shoot a drop away so it doesn't matter. With the WB, shoot with the cock vane up.

RE: odd feather up?
 

Mine is up too. Boy, that dont sound good.:D

RE: odd feather up?
 

cock vane up for me

RE: odd feather up?

RE: odd feather up?
 

Can't say it better than that Jeff.
