Cock feather location

[Bisquick]

I read through the sticky above but I didn't see anything saying where to locate the cock feather on the arrow.

Cock feather up, parallel to the string.

just put the cock feather straight up and you should be good..

I don't think I was clear I'm putting new blazer on my arrows. How do I know where to glue the cock feather on the arrow shaft

I'm assuming you're using a specific color for your cock vane. Just put the vanes on and then nock the arrow and turn it to make your cock vane straight up. My fletching jig has a mark on which setting is for the cock vane then I turn the arrow to where the cock vane is straight up. Hope that helps.

if they are all equal distance apart it doesnt matter where its at..

Space the 3 blazers equally and then adjust your nock accordingly.

Use four fletch and end the confusion... Lol

im using ez fletcher so it isn't the space. I was referring to the cock fether orientation to the spine of the arrow

Just roll the arrow and wherever it stops put the cock feather ontop of it

you can bare-shaft though paper to get the spine in the most favorable position by gradually indexing the nock position to the spine. when you get the smallest tear mark the arrow and set this as the cock position. spining arrows is really splitting hairs but will increase accuracy in some marginal degree ensuring consistent launch patterns.

Most people including me and 95% of other people one here shoot well enough for a simple Jo jan fletching jig to not do the job. You glue one blazer on turn it to the next notch and glue another.. Still shoot a 1" group at 20 yds.. Just saying Sony over complicate it like I did for a long time..
