    I have heard both ways, aling or don't aling your blades with your fletchings. Someone told me on this site that it doesn't matter yet at the pro shop a worker told me it does. I am not discreditting either cause if i had the slightest clue i wouldnt have to ask. So do you, or do you not have to align blades with fletchins? Thanks for your time and thoughts.

    I think this is the proper place for it. (Oh, whoops! I thought we were in the Tech section too.) :D

    No, your fletchings do not have to align with your blades. How would you align a 2 blade or 4 blade head to a 3 fletch arrow?

    The important thing is that the broadhead align to your arrow shaft so that it is balanced. (Slowly spin the arrow standing on its tip and see if the blades bobble.) If the head is pointed off to the side it is going to steer the arrow that way. This is what the person at the store may have been talking about when they said something about aligning your broadheads... at least I hope it's what they meant. If not, I'd find another proshop.
