Default off setting broadheads and vanes????

Hey Gays and Gals ,
On the last hunting trip I was on a friend said I should off set my broadheads and vanes from each other. Then I was surfing the web and I think I read the opposite.
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on this?? I shoot an older High Country at about 60 -70 pounds. Arrows are 29 inches and aluminum and are shot through a whisker Bisquit .Broadheads are muzzy 100's.
Does this really help cosistent arrow grouping???
Thanks eveyone for all your help , Happy New Year
Paka

It really doesn't do much at all. More important is that the heads are straight and do not wobble in flight. Also use helical fletching and have your bow tuned properly. This will do more for broadhead accuracy than anything else.

I really dont think it matter too much the way you have them set. I prefer to have them tuned the same. But when using a 4 blade broadhead youll have one extra blade either out, down, or up depending on the rest you are using. I use a WB so it makes no difference how I nock my arrow. I do believe if you have them aligned the same you actually cut the wind better. I have notice a slight improvement in arrow flight by aligning baldes and fletchings.

A lot of people say it doesn't matter, but I still like to at least have each broadhead lined up so that they come off the bow the same. I'm not sure it really matters how they are aligned to the fletch though. Those that shoot a four bladed head would have an aweful time using a three fletched arrow. [8D]

I agree with bobco. Lining up the vanes with the blades doesn't do squat of and by itself. Lining up the blades the same way on all the arrows couldn't hurt because at least they'll be consistent.
