RE: fletchings and 4 blade broadheads
There is absolutely no truth what so ever to the myths that say that you must use the same number of fletches as blades or that you hve to line up the blades to the fletching.
None what so ever.
Sit down and think about it for a minute. Think of the mathamatical calculations that you would have to perform to get the blades and the fletchings to fly through the same air. And then as soon as one of the variables changes such as arrow speed, wind speed, wind direction, etc... all of those calculations would be for nothing. Besides that it would only be possible if the wind were blowing directly straight into the arrow or directly behind the arrow.
