When nocking an arrow with the bow parallel to the ground, the cock feather should be pointing?

To the left
To the right
Straight down
Straight up

The correct answer is: Straight up

The cock feather is the odd-colored feather on the arrow that helps with proper positioning for shooting. When nocking an arrow with the bow parallel to the ground, the arrow should be placed with the feather pointing straight up. This allows for the bowstring to come into proper contact with the arrow, resulting in a more accurate shot. The other options, such as pointing to the left or right, are incorrect as they would cause the bowstring to hit the feathers instead of the arrow. Additionally, having the cock feather point straight down would also cause issues with the bowstring, making it difficult to properly release the arrow. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
