Align blades with fletching
 

Can anyone tell me how to get my blades to align with the fletching on Muzzy 3 blades? Does it really make a difference? Thanks in advance.

Old wives' tale. Doesn't matter.

Never trust a bow under 40 (inches).

If you have aluminum arrows, just heat the end by the insert a little bit, and turn the insert where you need the broadhead to be. Make sure it lines up with the fletching
Also it is a good practice to spin the arrow with the broadhead on to make sure it doesn't wobble. You can do this by setting it on a corner of a table and spinning it. If it wobbles don't use it. It will not shoot straight.
If you have carbon arrows the best way is to buy some rubber O-rings. They should sell these at most sporting goods stores. Then you just turn the head until the blades line up and the O-ring keeps the head tight.
I do this with all of my arrows. Have for years. If this is done correctly all your broadheads should shoot exactly the same.

BTM has given you the straight scoop. Aligning blades with fletch/vanes does nothing. It is a fable.

Doesn't help a thing. By the time that the vanes get to where the blades were the arrow has rotated enough so that they are not in the same "air" anyway.

Never tried it before but thanks for the tip!

It is always best to explain the details of function.

How does aligning the blades with fletch/vane tune the shaft and improve flight?

I was told to do this last year and tried it. Didn't see a difference. I decided to test it. I took 4 arrows and aligned the fletching with the broadhead using a yardstick and a level and left 4 out of alignment at various (random) angles. I shot at 25 and 35 yards alternating aligned and un-aligned as I shot. 25 yards a patterninside of 1.25 inches, shaving the fletchings on 2 arrows with one of each. 35 yards the pattern went to 2 inches and change with no significant "pattern" to either one of the two.

My experience...Makes no differnce, but if it makes you feel better or more confidant...Line 'em up!
