Or teeny bit further down if ya tie on one of those tracer feathers Bill uses.   8)

Far enough so the back edge of the feather doesn't get mixed up with fingers drawing the arrow.
Fletching with a trailing edge gets put further forward than something like a shield or parabolic shape, which don't have a trailing edge.
