![]() Similar to the position of the fletchings and cock fletching, the positioning of the nock does matter. You should notice that it has been placed the right way round if the two fletchings of the same color neatly fly past the riser without touching it. This is because if you place the arrow onto your string the wrong way, the cock fletching will catch on the riser with each shot you make. Does Fletching Direction Matter? Yes, the direction of your fletching does matter. Once you have shot with your arrows a couple of times, you will start to notice that you position the arrow correctly on the string without thinking about it.
