I was just wondering what everybody on here does as far as aligning a 2 blade broadhead. I have insert glue that is quick drying and if i try to align them its to late, any options on what i can do.
thank you all

I line mine up dry and mark the shaft or footing,where I want the blade to end up.This makes it easy to line up quickly.
Use a good hot melt, because just because one broadhead will line up, doesn't guarantee the next one will. I don't pay attention to how mine are done and they all shoot the same
I use a g5 arrow squaring device to shave a little at a time off the aluminum insert until the blades line up.
I like mine is a 45 degree angle because I'm usually canting the bow but most importantly the Broadhead must be aligned correctly so the arrow spins true that's more important then the angle that is mounted
I stick them on and how ever they line up, never seen it matter one bit. that's how I shoot them. Do you use them to point shoot with?
I just glue'em in and wherever they land they land.
I can't tell that it affects my accuracy as long as my arrows are turned.
If I'm building arrows I put the insert in first with BigJim's hot melt glue. Then I install the broadhead. Next I nock the arrow and turn the nock so until I get the broad head aligned the way I want it. Then I fletch the arrow.
If the arrows already built I just heat the head and align it. Since I use hot melt glue its easy
Have used super glue jell for many years.
-BH fully tightened on unglued insert.
-Set nock end on flat surface.
-BH shaft end set just beyond a raised block.
-Slightly begin Insert/BH installation until Insert/BH just stays in the shaft
-Apply super glue jell
-Rotate nock until flush on flat surface
-Install Insert/BH rotating during full insertion stopping when BH is in virtually immediate alignment.
Note: May appear on the surface as complicated, however quite simple, easy, quick, consistent and effective
Same process I utilize when installing 2 or 3 blade heads
No issues...
I do the same thing that shed hunter does
I do mine like Savage. Just square off the end of the arrow till the BH aligns up. It is amazing how little is needed to take of the end to make the BH move a half turn. G% or similar tool works well.
Don't worry about it. My broadheads fly just fine. I try to keep it simple. :banghead:
I'd suggest you switch glues, you need more time to get proper alignment IMO. Hot melt works well, or a two part epoxy.
I like my 2 blades horizontal and my 3 blades with one blade at 9 o'clock. This allows my to shoot even large Snuffers without having the broadhead distract me in my field of vision.
If your bow is well tuned arrow flight wise it shouldn't make much difference, although I sometimes seem to get better results with large 4 blades with the main blade at 2/8 o'clock for some reason.
You need to spin and rotate the broadhead till there is no wobble in the shaft that's most important for arrow flight otherwise you will be all over the target . Then rotate the nock as said before and use 5 minute epoxy to give you time to get the wobble out.
