How do you orientate your nocks for 4 fletch arrows?
Like fig 1 below?

Or figure 2 here

Both seem to fly well.....with the Fig 1 position,  that one fletch seems to ride well into the space between the plate and rest.  In Fig 2,  the fletch still rides along that space but the 4 fletchings make a perfect X in relation to the string and I believe there is more fletch contact on the rest and plate.   Like I mentioned,  both seem to fly real good, but wanted to see what everyone else thinks or what you may prefer......

I run mine like the first, but like you I've tried about everything and they all fly great.

I prefer mine like the second. It wont make a difference. Experiment like I did and see what suits you best. If your confident in it, that's all that counts.
Now then, get your weapons, your quiver and your bow and go out into the open country to hunt some wild game for me.- Genesis 27:3

I orient mine just like the first picture. Even with 3 fletch I orient the feathers so one of them goes in that gap between the rest and the side-plate. Mostly I shoot 4 fletch though.

Good to hear from everyone,   thanks for the info !

Personally perfer Pic 1.

However, that choice may be driven primarily due to this cofiguration is more appealing and provides more peace of mind. Note: Either configuration will perform.

Yep mine are like your first one also. I would suggest you tie another nock underneath your arrow nock though unless your nocks are real tight on the string. Leave about a 1/16" gap over it and under your arrow nock when so it won't pinch at full draw. I get better arrow flight with them.

I just made mine like the first picture. But from my tests both seem to fly about the same. I might not be a good enough shot to notice the difference but like others said it helps my confidence because it seems like it makes more sense that way...
The hog I just shot didn't seem to notice the difference though.
