75% of broadhead flight is Bow tuning (includes proper arrow spine)
15% of broadhead flight is Fletching (size and rotation)
10% of broadhead flight is FOC (in wind 10% minimum, 12%+ even better)

If rotating your broadheads improves flight...revisit the 75% ;)
If changing broadheads of same weight improves flight...revisit 75% & 15% :o
Broadhead 2 degrees crooked effecting flight...revisit the 75%, 15% & 10%  :yike:

So basically, if you are having problems with broadhead tuning look at the bow tuning first second and third before trying to solve a problem by some other means.  Almost never has anything to do with the broadhead.

Rotating broadhead blades with the fletching does nothing more than make sure a poorly tuned bow shoots consistently poor.

Well I sure hope my new heads shoot good.  Shooting a 28" 55/75 goldtip @67#.  Spine might be a little light.

HighCountry, go to this link and download the tuning guide. it's a life savor. Make sure your bow is tuned and the arrows spinning good and you should be fine. No need for blade matching with vanes...
