I have a trophy taker drop away rest that I got when I purchased my drenalin. My question is do I shoot with the arrow fletching up or down. I know that with the 2 prong model rests you shoot with the fletching down. The bow shop guy told me it didn't matter. What do you guys think?

Shoot with the C0ck vane up. if you want to hit the range sometime, let me know.

I also shoot a Trophy Taker rest and shoot with the odd vane up. You may have clearance issues with your riser if you try other orientations.

I shot the Trophy Taker Shaky Hunter rest for 3 years on several different bows (The Bowtech Liberty, Mathew's Switchback LD, and Mathew's MQ1) all of which I had no clearance or interference problems with the fletchings leaving the rest. I shot with the cock vane facing all directions; up, down, and away from the riser. I feel though, that I got the best groups with it facing away from the riser, and if there was any clearance issues, they were the least noticable with that configuration. However, it all depends on what you are comfortable with, and what will subconsciously get you to not worry about the clearance and just worry about the shot process itself.

Like mentioned earlier, in a perfect world it should't matter, but I shoot with my cock feather up to be certain it clears
I hunt therefore I am
