location of vanes in relation to nock?

[tayhot]

Is it better to fletch the vanes as close to the nock as you can or does it not matter?

 

[WapitiBob]

depends on how the arrow lines up against your face.

 

[swbuckmaster]

ya you dont want to have the vanes touching your face.

If you can get an already fletched arrow from any of the the arrow companies you can put it in your jig and mark that spot on your jig so you can apply your fletchings in the same spot every time.
