I am wondering what the best way to align my Wensel Woodsmans with 4 fletch would be?
Any way you wish! It makes no difference.

As long as they spin true it doesn't matter.
The 3:1 ratio of the Woodsman gives it excellent flight characteristics. Personally, when I align my Snuffers, don't matter if they are 3 fletch or 4...I prefer the head to be aligned in a "Y".
I just like aiming without seeing any vertical lines in my sight, just personal preference.
Thats my setup and I don't have a preference on the alignment. Just get them sharp and spinning straight. Don't forget to clip the tip of the point.
It really depends on your aiming method. If you shoot instinctive, then it doesn't matter a bit as to where the blades are positioned. If you sight any other way, then you just need to keep any protruding blade out of your sight picture. They'll fly the same though no matter how you turn it.
As long as they are on straight, any way is fine, however I am with Joe Skipp on this one. I like them aligned like a Y also. Seems to help me concentrate on the "spot" better when it is down in the bottom of that v. Olebow
I align them with the index of my nock between two blades sighting down the shaft. But like Bob and others have said it makes absolutely no difference at all, just personal preference. dino
Thank you, I am a fan of the setting them up with the Y. Almost like shooting a field point in your point of view. They Do seem to drop a lot faster then my field points tho, hmmm..
Target points*
How about adding this question. HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, since an arrow will go thru paradox upon release, and since it does not begin rotational movement for about the first foot of travel, it is conceivable that a large two blade broadhead mounted vertically could affect flight as it goes thru the wagging of paradox, while a broadhead mounted horizontally would be less apt to do the same. Anyone ever see this actually happen ? or, would the flat surface wagging back and forth actually cut back on actual paradox movements due to more surface exposed ?
Hmmm I need some more caffeine.
