odd vain position

I remember when the odd vain use to be positioned faceing outside when nocked to the string. I bought some new arrows with the short fletching type, and these are made with the odd vain faceing up. Is there a reason for this

 

It depends on the rest and whether or not you use fingers or release.

The cock vane out stems from using fingers and a plunger style rest or flipper rest.

Cock vane down is typical of release and a tm style rest. (Rest with double prongs)


Some of the newer fallaways like the QAD recommend the cock vane be up.


The issue is clearance with all styles.

yeah ditto on this

 

Wow, ok i had no idea. If i understand correctly, I have a double prong rest so i should shoot it with the odd vain down. Thanks

 

What kind of rest?

one of the double pronged rests.

 

with the double prong odd vane should be up.

 

ONLY if its a qad fallaway. Otherwise it will go down.

Its a golden key two prong rest it isnt a fall away. The prongs are spring tentiond they kind of float the arrow?

 

Good rest. Shot many of them. Cock vane down.

Thanks for the info. Maybe my shooting will improve:D

 

see i have shotten odd vane up with these but recently on the last two setups i have noticed it coming in contact with the top that hold your arrow from falling out, so i switched to odd vane down

 

That probably means your nock point is too high.

Alright i will have to get it looked into, thanks

 

I started shooting with the vain down and also i moved the cable rod over a tad to insure there is no contact there. I noticed my grouping improved. I tryed paper tuning and saw the p o i was about 1.5'' above the fletchings. Long story short i noticed the prongs were not lefting the end of the arrow at full draw so i sprayed some wd40 in that area of the rest, and it started to work better.(although i didnt get a chance to paper tune it again) . I know how to adjust the elevation, windage,and prongs on the rest my question is what is the silver dial that is on the side. It has a inscrip of a ( D a arrow and a H on it). It also has a set screw that goes through it and into the rest therefor making it seem fixed. I think it is there to adjust the the spring tention, but im not sure how it would work. Any ideas?? There is also the rod that goes through the center of the dial with a little roll pin through it . So to sum up my essay, what is it, can it be adjusted????
