how important is to align the bladesof the broadhead with the fletchings?

I've heard different answers. Some says its good some say it doesn't matter. It can't hurt to line them up. I do just because it looks cool.

This has been covered about 1000 times and the answer is always the same for those who know how to tune their equipment. It's not the least bit important to align broadheads with fletching. It's absolutely crucial to have them aligned concentric with the shaft.

Not in the least. I will say, though, if you are shooting a head like SteelForce or Stingers, it's helpful to align the main blades w/ the string.

Mobow is right.... I shoot Stingers and align the main blade vertical with the bow string. That is the only thing where I can see it help the arrow flight. I use some left over rubber washers from a pack of NAP Thunderheads and use them on the Stingers. It allows the Stinger to get just "snug" with the insert, but also allows for alignment with the bow string.

Anyway, aligning a 3 blade broadhead with the fletchings is not needed. It doesn't change the arrow flight or improve accuracy. It's an old wives tale....
