How to line up broadheads?

It doesn't really help I just really really like taking the time and making all my stuff look the same.

So, what exactly are you guys doing with dental floss to help line up your broadheads?  And could a person use plumber's tape (as recently suggested by Rad for other reasons) to do the same thing?

Yeah you could.  You'd probably want it thicker than if you were just stopping a rattle though.

Plumbers tape won't make a difference at all with alignment.

So Rad, do you think lining up broadheads is important at all?  Kinda sounds like you don't.  My opinion on the issue is subject to change if someone "in authority" tells me differently.  And you're sort of the someone in authority I usually defer to.

I think some of it depends on how fast your bow is shooting. I found that when I shot wacems at over 310-315fps they flew better with the blades lined up with the vanes. I then switched to slick tricks 4 bladers and never had to worry about it. I am now shooting Magnus Black Hornets 2 bladers with bleeder blades and also dont have to worry about it and they absolutely fly like darts.

You have a meme or youtube link for everything

You have serious problems if it makes a difference from a compound bow.  And blade orientation isn't one of them


But, sometimes mental anguish is real.  That can effect a lot!

What he said!

I have never found any benefit in accuracy to having broadheads aligned the same as each other or aligned with the fletching.  However, if it makes you feel mentally more confident in your accuracy, you most likely will be.

Rad, why do some heads fly better than others at higher rates of speed? I know for sure some heads wont fly over 300fps.

Well then I rescind the whole topic!

Increase in speed also mean an increase in friction.  Thick blades, large vent holes, straight vertical trailing edges and large cutting diameter are all friction collectors.  Enough FOC will offset a lot of that by giving the fletching a greater leverage advantage.

Mental Confidence is often more valuable than proven science.

For a lot of years I could not shoot a single cam bow as good as a two cam bow.  I knew it was irrational but I just could not get over knowing that no matter what I did it would never be in perfect tune.  Top and bottom limbs would never work in perfect unison.  Bothered my left brain behavior so much the right side motor skills suffered.  Took me decades to get over it.  Now look at me!   I've got more single cam bows than I do perfect ones.

What calms the mind empowers the body and spirit.
