    You don't need to line them up. It has no effect on your accuracy.

    As long as they spin without wobbling you are good.

    As Rybo said; they need to be balanced and in-line with the shaft. Aligning them with the fletchings does nothing for you.

    If I want to use a 2 or 4 blade broadhead, do I have to remove or add fletchings?

    Well of course you do, Vito. Everyone knows that. If you don't your arrows will be mathematically imbalanced which will result in erratic flight, poor penetration and sorry blood trails.:tu:

    Best advice you can get. Forget about lining them up just make sure they spin straight! :)
