Default Vanes off balance

I bought 12 gold tip xt arrows. I put them on an arrow roller and there is a heavy spot in each arrow. That spot always points down. It is different on every arrows. What should I do? I stripped and refletched the arrows with no luck. Does it even matter? Thanks

Are they shooting accurately? Unless your an expert shot I doubt you will notice any difference in performance.

I haven't shot them yet. You doubt that I will notice any difference shooting at 20 yards?

Theres only one way to find out. .....Put it this way, there is no way that you put exactly as much glue on each vane and there is no way each vane weighs exactly the same. No matter what you do one side is always going to weigh more. If the berrings are really smooth on the roller I imagine even a small weight would spin them down
