Broad heads in line with vanes

Does it matter if your broad head blade is in line with each vane and if you shoot a 4 blade, then it cant be .

RE: Broad heads in line with vanes

nope...many people, including myself have tried it...doesnt make a lick of difference from what ive seen...

i did hear 2 blade heads should be lined with the string...or maybe it was perpindicular to the string? i dont remember...i shoot 3...sometimes they line up, sometimes they dont...but they all shoot together.

I quit trying to figure it out years ago and wound up just setting them at 45 degrees. That way I'm at least half right. [8D]

Okay, so I lie.

Seriously, I have tried that and it works just as well as any other way. With the string, horizontal to the string, any angle in between, it doesn't matter. Let personal preference be your guide.

The only thing that truly matters is getting the heads aligned with the shaft so they spin true.
