I have Rockets ultimate steel 100 grain do I need to line the blades up with my blazer vanes? if so do I heat the head up and turn until lined up? also does heating the blades effect them like dulling the blades or weaking them? Also I'm waiting on my Slick Tricks to arrive there are4 blade how do I line them up?

There's NO need to line up the blades with your fletching. The last 2 years I was shoothing Ultimate Steel 75's. They fly great. I'm shooting Trick Mag 100's now. The fly great too! I would suggest using a small O-ring with the Rockets. Put it on the head before you screw it in the arrow. It will help hold the blades in. This was the only drawback for me with the Rocket U.S. I wouldn't tell you this if I didn't SEE it happen to my buddy. He shot a doe, got a passthru and the arrow was stuck in the ground. When we pulled the arrow out , it was missing a blade. I KNOW the headswere tight because I tightened them myselfa hour before he shot. I was telling the guys at the shop about it and they said "yeah, use these little o-rings with them and that won't happen as often." That ordeal made me nervous about those heads, so I switched. BUT they are sharp and they do fly great!

No need to align them w/ the vanes. But you do need to install them so as there is no wobble when you spin them.

So there is no need to line up the blades? That saves me a little head ache and time. Thanks.

Raxxmaster, that is correct, there is no need to align fletch to blades. These guys above are correct in what they say.
