Well put indeed! So, here is what I'm gathering. By the way, I'm new to the use of carbon arrows. Since the insert is most likely not glued in with hot melt, alignment of the broadhead with the fletching and each other is impossible. Even if the inserts were glued in with hot melt, one would risk damaging the arrow by heating it up to turn the insert. Right? As far as alignment of the broadhead with the center of the shaft. This is how I have accomplished that in the past. On a board I drove two nails in an x on the front and back of the board. The X's created a cradle of sorts for the arrow. On the board, in alignment with the arrow I made a mark. Then by inspection I could determine if the broadhead (a fixed two blade) was in alignment with the center of the shaft by lining the edge of the broadhead up with the mark, rotating the arrow 180 degrees and again inspecting the broadhead realtive to the mark on the board. If the broadhead was aligned in both positions I put it in the quiver. If not, a mark was made on a fletch and it was forever religated to the field tip pile. Primitive, yes. Effective, I dunno?
