Odd colored fletching goes which way????

[Brown-Bear]

LIke the title says. Which way does it go? Does it really matter? I got a new (first) bow a couple weeks ago and a guy at work gave me some old arrows to practice with. So does it really matter?

[CrazyWhiteGuy]

generally speaking i believe the odd color goes out. what kind of bow is it?

[Strapped]

odd color goes outside

[reichebrown]

It depends on the type of arrow rest you have. If its an old school recurve the the odd color goes out. If you have a shoot through type rest the odd color goes down. It may also depend on the knocks orientation to the fletchings.

Odd color is out. They do that so you it will be very easy to nock the arrow. Actually, you can have the odd color any way you want, just as long as you know how the odd vane and nock are positioned.

[Dredly]

depends 100% on your rest.

what kind is it?

[03scf250]

Like Dredly said it depends on your rest. 2 prong rest it would go down. Basket style or lizard tounge rest it goes up, conventinal recurve style finger like rest it goes out. Not sure about whisker basket style never shot one.

The odd colored feather is called a cock and goes out. The other two are hens.

the odd color fletch goes in the animal or through it if you get a good hit , lol

If you bought the diamond package and it came with a whisker biscuit, the cock vain goes up. WB's have stiffer black bristles at the bottom which a vane is not meant to go through.
