I am shooting a two blade broadhead and i am not able to align my broadheads where they sit vertical or parallell with the bow when at full draw ( i can't remove my inserts).

I have heard when shooting a two blader, if your broadheads do not sit exactly vertical or parallell on the arrow, arrow flight will be sporadic when shooting the broadheads!

SHould this be a concern or am i putting too much inot this?

My opinion:  Don't worry about it.  Once the arrow leaves the bow it spins.  That spin creates "dirty air" and that why helical works much better than straight fletch when shooting broadheads.  Tuning the arrow to your bow is much more important.  I never worry about where my broadhead lines up on my bow and I shoot pretty well.

I have heard of guys using those little O Rings from the hardware store and you can adjust them where you want them.  Just put the O ring behind the broadhead and adjust till you like it.

It dos'nt matter it's just perosnal preference.Your broadhead dos'nt know the difference.

I am with Roy.

I use the 0-rings on my 3-blade broadheaded carbon shafts  but on the woodies they are glue on so the 0-ring method doesn't work. With two bladers I have heard that it's a good idea to paper test with a field tip, and align with the rip... if you tend to get a vertical tear then align vertical, if you get a horizontal tear then align horizontal.

j,
Maybe I need to explain further: My father is a rocket engineer and he can (and has) literally proved on paper that in rocket science (which helical feather fall into-straight fletch would be similar to a missle) it flat makes NO DIFFERENCE how your broadhead is lined up.  Once you release the string and cast the arrow the arrow spins. That spin stabilizes the arrow through the dirty air caused by the broadhead.  Aligning the feathers with the broadhead or the broadhead to the riser is a waste of time and effort.

I shoot 2 blade broadheads, and I never worry about how they are mounted. I mount the head on the shaft, spin the arrow, then turn the head a bit if necessary to get the arrow to spin true. I think a good spinning arrow is the most important factor.....my heads wind up mounted in every direction imaginable and they all shoot good.

Thanks for your replies, Horne SHooter, what you are describing makes perfect sense. I guess I just needed to hear others say it was well.

Thanks for the help!

If they are flying well and hitting the mark it soiuldn't be a problem. For me, I like them vertical. I use a little bit of dental string to align them the way I like. m2c

Adjust the nock and fletch accordingly

I have some glue on points glued on at the same angle.  It has nothing to do with shooting, it is for the foam in the quiver bottom.  When I have the broadheads at the same angle, the fletching does not get jammed together when the arrows are in the quiver.  Bill
