How to avoid having to turn nocks

[Band]

I have learned the art of turning nocks to get my arrows all flying in the same place while broadhead tuning but I don't really like having arrows where the cock vane isn't in the same place as the rest of the arrows.  So, as I get ready to glue vanes on a set of bare shafts is there a procedure for figuring out the optimal location of the vanes to avoid this problem?  I'm guessing shooting bare shafts won't give me any information to work with so is vane location simply a guessing game?

Spine test your arrows and align the cock vane with the stiff side of the arrow. Should help. Southshore archery does this on every arrow they fletch.  What arrows are you shooting?

Thanks.  I've never heard of such a contraption but I can see how that would help.  I have 3 different types of arrows I'll be replacing vanes on.  As I've damaged vanes by hitting them with points of other arrows during target practice over time I set them aside and am planning to replace the vanes on all of them in one fell swoop.

Fletch all the vanes the same color.
I've also heard of floating your arrow shafts in a bathtub. heavy side (stiffest side if you will) ends up on bottom.

How do you guys with the same color vanes quickly figure out which way to load your arrow when you need to in the heat of the moment?

You gotta look down regardless so vane up, and the nock squared up to the string is the same regardless of color

except you don't really have to look down. Arrow nocks have a small bump on one side. When I load an arrow I pull the nock onto the string with my finger and thumb. Feel bump with thumb it's going on right.

All nocks load same every time without looking or feeling for bumps.  Just always practice with hunting quiver and set arrows in quiver same way every time.  Practice not looking when setting arrow.  Huge difference.  Hmm guess that might not work for release users but at least the arrow mates the string right and pretty fast too.
Another observation, if you are in eye contact (crap) with game they often bolt out that instant eye contact is broken.  Dang black tails !

I don't think, not being able to knock an arrow has ever been an excuse I've used for missing an animal.

I use a sharpie and put a dot on my nock.

don't over think it . set your vanes off up or what ever you want in relation to your nock and then tune the broad head end to fly . I've always got one to fly then just matched the rest

I found going to a straighter arrow helped me get my razor tricks flying true.. I went from a gold tip xt to a gold tip pro hunter.. Now I am shooting Black Eagle Rampage .001 straightness and couldn't be happier with how they fly.. I never messed with spinning arrows.
