    I am right handed and want to know if you can shoot your cock feather to the left with this arrow rest instead of up? Does anyone shoot their cock feather to left with this rest?

    Yes, it can be done. Should be able to orient your vanes in any location with most drop-aways.

    These rests are notorious for needing a cock vane out fletching orientation. I'v had to shoot every apache/apache carbon rest just slightly below cock vane out. It didn't matter if the rest was reaching the top in the last half inch of the draw cycle..

    I'm still working with mine. The shop I had install it on my new bow did not have it timed right and the rest burnt up my new arrow vanes...so I took it to a real bow shop and he redid everything on it and now it drops dimes but I'm still not sure if I should have just spent another 40 or so on a nice qad, ripcord, or ax

    As long as your rest is timed perfectly when it drops, it shouldn't matter how your vanes/feathers are lined up. As long as you are not getting any contact with the rest during the shot, you should be golden. Never shot a NAP drop away though, just figure they all have the same concept. I could be wrong.

    If timed correctly you should be able to shoot vanes any orientation. FWIW I have 3 bows with NAP Apache Carbons on them. ALL shoot great with cock feather straight up. NO issues.

    I used to shoot that rest and really liked it.
