    greetings! fairly new to fletching arrows. I have several older arrows that need re-fletched, (swedged shafts I believe) they are not adjustable nocks (no uni-bushing) I will be using a bohning tower jig for feathers. I am pretty sure that I can do it without removing nocks. if I fletch with nocks on how would I be certain that odd feather/vane will be in the correct position, since I will be unable to turn nock?? any info. would be helpful, thank you...

    Do you have a preference which direction the cock feather will be pointing?? With older arrows I am thinking your set-up would be more traditional to where the cock fletch is pointing out to the side when holding the bow vertically. Most fletching jigs start that cock fletch right in line with the nock so it would be pointing that way.
