What distance are your vanes from the end of the arrow shaft?
Would there be any reason, not to be as far back as you can get?

Re: Fletching
With the rear plastic nocks installed about 1.25” too far back gets you deep into the trigger assembly. I don’t think another 1/8” back would hurt though.
It’s not the way you rock, it’s the way that you roll!
Re: Fletching
LIghted nocks i go 1 1/8 I like to go more forward so my fletching doesn't get hung up on the anti dry fire mechanism ...

Re: Fletching
I'm the opposite. I've seen absolutely zero difference in terminal accuracy when the fletchings are bunched up under the ADF vs not. They fold to the outside. And 1/8" forward of back are not going to keep it from hitting the ADF catch. It's always behind the ADF catch.
The heavier the arrow I build with usually a fixed head, I want the fletchings as far back as possible to take advantage of ever little bit of available leverage during flight. That's when it makes the most difference.
In a 100Y accuracy competition it may make a difference the extra milisecond it takes to straighten the fletching. But for rational hunting distances, not a concern
I will either set them with a BE nock, or a fully seated luminock. And I should mention they are blazers and always in perfect condition or replaced
