In front of the string............ :chuckle:

Actually, depends on the type of rest you shoot.  If it's a shoot thru rest or flipper style rest, then it is cock feather out.  For a fall away then it's cock feather up.  If it's a whisker biscuit, then you need a different rest......... :chuckle:  Once again, just messing with ya, if it's a whicker biscuit I am not sure it matters where your cock feather is as the rest hits all the fletches anyway you turn it.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

It depends on what type of rest you are using.  I shoot mine with my cock vane up with my drop away rest.  Some rest you have to shoot cock out.  What type of rest do you have?  I'm sure someone on here can tell you what way you need to shoot with that rest

It doesnt matter which way you point the cock vane as long as you are not gettting fletching contact.  I would however recommend that they are all the same.

yes does not matter as long as there is no contact like said, assuming you are shooting vanes because feathers are not affected like stiff vanes. your arrows should all be matched what ever works best also you can try diffrent setups and see some rests like the biscuit have stiffer brissels in the bottom you don't want your vanes going threw. i shoot 4 fletch vanetec hp's on all my arrows they are like blazers. and 6 fletch on my recurves with 3" paroblic right wings that i cut myself. see what works best 4 you and stick with it.
