I'm in the same boat with most of y'all. it doesn't make any difference. Now what happened to all those that said it did make a difference? <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Do you line them up?
There's a pro shop in my area that is owned by a guy I believe is one of the best archers in the country. He has dozens of "Robinhoods"--ALL of which were accomplished at ranges over 60 yards because at ranges UNDER that he has to pick different aim points because of destroyed arrows. He is an expert at tuning and he states that you don't need to worry about lining up broadheads with vanes. Remember that the arrow is rotating while in flight and the vanes would not likely pass through the same exact path as the blades anyway.

RE: Do you line them up?
I don't line up my fletch with my broadhead blades. I've never found it necessary.
B-rice, above was mentioned that it's more important that the broadhead and arrow are in the same plane/alignment here is crucial. If you must align your heads it will depend on your inserts and glue used. If you have aluminum inserts and hot glue, you can install a field tip partially screwed in and heat the end of the tip, it should heat the glue before the carbon arrow and allow you to spin your insert. Be careful not to apply heat directly to the carbon arrow or you might damage it.
If you have epoxy'd aluminum inserts, again, with close scrutiny, you should be able to heat the field tip, again, be careful...with carbon inserts, in carbon arrows, you should spin test them when installed, it becomes difficult to realign these once set....

RE: Do you line them up?
Several years ago before there were cut out risers, better rests and fewer spines of shafts to choose from I did align my blades and found it better in flight. I no longer do so and have no problems.
