4 fletch question

[jamesh76]

I am thinkinh about making a few of these to try out. But what is the proper/preferred nock index position?

[tim roberts]

Hope I have my numbers right...most go either 105-75, or 90-90. Really it depends on which one gives the best clearance.
Thanks,

[jamesh76]

feathers in/out at 90 degree from shelf or at 45 degrees? I would think 90?

[Brad Arnett]

I've been shooting the 105-75 (as Tim mentioned, even if that's not the exact angles, I'm not sure?) for 3 or 4 years now and love it. I orient mine with one line of the X at about 1 and the other at 7 o'clock....does that makes sense?

[The Whittler]

I shoot right hand and with right wing I like 60-120 and get great clearance. With this setup the cock feather is in towards the riser.

[jamesh76]

Thats what I was looking for.  Thanks

[Roughrider]

I've shot the 60x120 for 25 years, with the "wider" 120 angle towards the riser - this way however the nock goes on the string, it is right.

4 fletch will usually let you shoot shorter fletches too

60 x 120.  X2

I've been using 4 fletch for years with excellent results. My favorite use is for youth arrows as it eliminates the need to worry about how an arrow is knocked when shooting. The 60x120 will align the fetching correctly regardless of how the arrow is knocked. I use the method described on this link:  http://www.arrowskp.com/Kelly_s_Tips.html

I shoot 90x90 aligned like an "X".

[memo]

I have shot the 60x120 for about ten years now. Easy to fletch, just fletch the two hen feathers and spin shaft around and fletch them on the other side.
I really like it for quick reload without looking at nock orientation.
Have a play with it and have fun,

I have tried all three,on a well tuned arrow they all fly great in my opinion.I like 4 at 90,just like the way they look and perform just fine.

[Fritz]

90X90 like an X, too.    

[hickstick]

90x90  X4 or 5 or whatever.   sometimes I shoot like X sometimes like + out of my widow it doesn't seam to matter.

[Stone Knife]

I shoot 4" set at 90
