I use too, moved to cock feather down, what ever works better with your set up "is best"

Cock feather in and LW feathers for as long as I can remember

I have experienced no difference between cock feather in or out. My brother shoots the same way.

In for me.  All bows, all the time.

I feel like it give me more consistency.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Cock feather in for me as well. Although I do switch back and forth some. I consistently go back to in for hunting.... whatever you get used to, I guess.

On my bow it makes no difference at all which way the cock feather is facing. I have experimented with it and I have seen no difference.

I currently shot with it pointed up, but have shot with it facing in prior to that.

I just bought a Cari-Bow and Abe recommends orienting the fletching at 12, 4 and 8 o'clock, or cock feather up...I long ago came to this same conclusion...I have shot cock feather out and cock feather in as well...I have shot arrows with plastic vanes off the shelf...with a correctly spined arrow orientation is a non factor for me...I just settled on cock feather up to take one variable out of the arrow building equation

I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

I shoot cock feather in off a Bear Weather Rest. The position of the top hen feather acts as a second anchor reference point by touching the tip of my nose along with my regular anchor, middle finger to the corner of my mouth. It has improved my consistence immensely.

doesn't seem to make a difference with my setup.
