4 feather index help

[rluttrell]

I have fletched more than enough 3 feathers, I am going to try and do four, I need some help where does the fletching align with the nock? A picture would be a great visual
Thanks

Glue on nocks?

[chad graham]

i like em spaced equal at 90 degrees,i know on a bitzenburger you can also do 75 x 105 which makes the feathers farther apart on the sides and closer together on top and bottom.

exactly the same as 3 fletch, you just have 2 "cock" feathers now.  if you do 4x90...

[xtrema312]

I do 75x105 on bits, but I rotate my carbon nocks 90 degrees so 105 is up and down.  I feel I get the best possible feather clearance, and I like where the feather is for a nose anchor shooting three under.

Not sure if you can adjust index point for glue on. I have never looked at the manual.       :dntthnjok:

Thanks guys I was really struggling with this one.. This is helping

I prefer 4 at 90,a X pattern.

I'm a 75 x 105 guy.  Tried the 60 x 120 as well and did not like how the fletching was so close together.

One thing about pictures, the feathers looked like they were straight and not twisted.  I just ordered my bitz a straight clamp...

NO!!!...You don't shoot straight fletch with broadheads.

You need helical or off-set.

Thank you!!!!!!

If you use glue on nocks just don't actually glue them until after you fletch them then you can put them where you want. I did this for years I still prefer old Mercury Speed nocks just to lazy to find nock adapters and go to the trouble I use them on my woodies and aluminum arrow. The string lasts longer and quieter in my opinion.

[Cryogenic]

Wait.....

Offset or helical is required for broadheads?  

I would have guessed that a well tuned arrow might not need more than a 4 or 5 inch straight.

I generally shoot 4 - 4"fletches, sometimes, 3 1/2", and get great flight with about any broadhead, including 300gr grizzlies.  I fletch them 75/105, with the string bisecting the 75 degree sides, but try shooting them as you rotate the nocks, you may find a different orientation works better.

the feathers in the pic i posted are  
4" rw with helical.

After Terry posted a bold No!!!!. I got off my laptop and logged on my desktop and took another look, Yes they are…

I just did a dozen assorted shafts with 2" Rayzrs in a 4-fletch 75X105 with my Bitz last night. Super impressed with the way they fly off of my Omega and now I don't worry about feather orientation. Heavy shafts, light shafts...both worked well and flew light darts.

I have done 60-120 RW and they fly great. I have done 4" and 3".
