I'm right handed, LW fletch, cock out, RW fletch cock in.  

When you have well matched arrows it doesn't matter too much actually but I go by old convention and lay two hens flat to the sight window and one cock out (LW).

I don't fletch with a separate cock feather anymore.  They are all the same but I do have an index on my nock so I nock the same everytime.  I position so one feather is lined up with the crease of the shelf - does it make a difference - probably not but I am just anal enough to need the resemblence of repeatability.

That is also what I do, lining the lower hen feather up with the crease in the shelf! The cock feather is out, but actually down a bit from straight out. I use RW feathers.

When I hunt, I line my broadheads up so that they are at a slight angle. That way when I draw with my bow canted, they are horizontal. Lots of times I have to turn my shaft on my nock to get this alignment, and my odd colored feather may be in any of the three positions, but one feather is always lined up with the crease of the shelf!

I'm with Kris...right handed, with LW fletch, it's cock out, with RW fletch, it's cock in.
