Aligning Broadheads with Vanes
How do you do it?
I really don't even see how it is possible. My broadheads screw in to a certain point and stop. The is no "adjusting" or turning. Once it reaches a point, it stops turning, and that's it. Once you reach that end of the threads it's not going to goin any further.
You people that do this, how do you?

RE: Aligning Broadheads with Vanes
The people that ARE doing this are simply wasting their time.
It makes no difference how your broadheads are oriented to your fletchings. What matters is how your ferrule is oriented to the shaft and if the head is spinning true on the shaft itself.
That and a tuned bow.
What way the blades sit in relation to your fletching means exactly ZIPPO.

RE: Aligning Broadheads with Vanes
If your broadheads didn't come with a small o'ring, go down to the John Deere dealership, go to the Parts Counter and ask to see their o'ring box...Take your broadhead and pick out a small o'ring that will slide up and over the screw threads, so when you screw the broadhead in, the o'ring compresses and you can align with the feathers...
Although some think this procedure doesn't help, I still do it simply so I know when I slide my heads up into the quiver that the fletchings all line up...So you aren't cutting new slits in your quiver each time you insert an arrow...

RE: Aligning Broadheads with Vanes
I don't necessarily to line up the broadheads with the feathers, but I do align the broadhed in a certain position just for safety reasons. I also like the piece of mind that they are coming off of the bow in the same position.
