RE: tuning arrows for fixed broadheads
You do not have to align the blades. However, I used to do it all the time with 3 blades. It can help with tuning issues though if you have large fixed blades. The blades can steer thearrows in wind. With the smaller profile heads that does not seem to be an issue though.

RE: tuning arrows for fixed broadheads
For the most part I say no. Ther are however certain circumstances where having all the blades aligned the same can be benificial. These tend to be with really larger heads that are difficult to tune. Even then it's not having the blades aligned with the fletching but rather having them all set up the same way on each arrow. On the other hand it doesn't hurt anything to try either.

No...get them spin tested, if they wobble when spun they are out of tune...this is essential to insure your arrows fly like bullets...if out of tune get a squaring tool (i.e. G5 makes one) to square off the insert so the bh fits nicely to the arrow this will make the arrow spin tightly
