This is fascinating. I am new to the use of carbon arrows and was about to start worrying about tuning my broadheads. In the past I didn't necessairly align my broadheads with my fletching but I did get them all oriented the same (heated the tip and turned the insert). This process is an old wives tale and unnecessary? I'm not being sarcastic with that question, it is genuine.
Let's clear a few things up:
Aligning the broadheads with the fletching is unnecessary, but can't hurt.
Making them all orient the same isn't necessary either, but can't hurt.
Balancing them so that the tip of the head is in line with the center axis of the shaft IS necessary!
