Default Do I need to line up fixed blades with vanes?

I'm just curious if you guys that shoot fixed blade broadheads line your blades and vanes or just shoot them the way that they screw on?

Nope, a myth. Only thing you need is a true spinning insert/broadhead, a well tuned bow, and enough fletching to stabilize the arrow.

It's not nessesary but I do it anyway. I like for all my arrows to look uniform.

I agree with the rest on this I never had a problem I some one who does.
But in a thought if you have an arrow spinner see how true it spins on center....I have seen untrue insterts and bent broad heads....make a arrow fly erratic.
thanks

I always put my broadheads level. I got tired of giving blood all the time. and I will let the arrow flex properly coming out of the bow.
