Hey guys... Im just curious to see how others mount their two blade heads ...Horizontal ??? Or vertical??? Whats best or does it matter?? myself personally I was told some years back to mount them horizontal. Tell me what you all prefer. Thanks.. God Bless... :dunno:
-
Horizontal for me. I prefer an unobstructed view of what I am shooting at.
-
Horizontal is easier to aim, but I think as long as the blades are in line with one of the fletchings, it flies the same.

I like them vertical. I find that they fly better for me.
-
Horizontal for me also.
-
I am a fixed crawl shooter, so I need the point of my arrow easily viewable and the spot to hit, so I mount my Sharks and Deltas horizontal.
-
Horizontal for me. As long as the broadhead and arrow are properly tuned, I don't really think it would make a difference. JMO

I prefer to mount mine vertical, or sometimes horizontal or somewhere in between. I'm focused on them spinning good and really don't care worry about the angle.

That’s a good point (see what I did there?). Having them horizontal would create a “line” that would make gap and crawl shooting a lot easier because it’s a flat broad reference point.

Vertical, when at anchor I have middle finger against a tooth in the corner of mouth, feather touching nose, thumb knuckle under jaw and back of broadhead blade just touching my index finger on my bow hand. If any of those is missing then something is off.
-
I mount them so the arrow spins true no matter which way they are.
-
Vertical for me.

I take my arrows out of the back quiver with my thumb on the nock index. Especially with wider heads, it is important to drag them out of the quiver flat to the leather, so mine are vertical.

i am almost the exact same. Middle finger to i back side of upper i tooth with nose barely touching the arrow. I use the vertical blade as a visual reference as well
-
I go vertical. Have been doing it that way for years..... Keep shots 30 and under, trying to stay around 20 or less.....
-
I like to mount them at about the angle of a back slash symbol..../////...or maybe slanted a bit more.

As long as your setup is well tuned, it don't make a hill of beans difference!
I mount mine at a slight angle so that with the bow canted at full draw, the heads are horizontal.

On the front of the arrow.

Vertical for me. Just suits my eye better.

These are my thoughts exactly.
-
I set mine 2 and 8 arrows fly great.

Vert.

I like them to tag my finger as a draw check at full draw.
-
I don't like excess arrow length so my broadheads get close to the bow at full draw. I've had trouble being distracted by the broadhead contacting my index finger at full draw if I mount them vertically.
-
I tag the finger, just a slight touch. I have made some of my best hunting shot where I failed to feel the head whisk the hairs on my fingerer slightly depress my glove material, if I am wearing gloves. I always wonder how short i drew when that happens.

I have wondered about that. How do folks allow for no gloves, gloves,etc?
-
I don't how it works for everyone, but I can feel the blade touch the glove. As far as draw length variances, with my bows a quarter inch does not seem to have much effect on the the shot. When I tag the glove I am within an eighth inch of full draw. I did have one time with an 85 plus draw bow at my draw length, that I decided I was stretching, so I shortened my arrows a quarter inch. Pulled that arrow right off the string with my first shot at a deer, a very large buck, adrenaline overload, i guess. Luckily the broadhead arrow fell between the bow and the string on the way to the ground, i did not release and dry fire.

Horizontal for me. Figure I want things looking the same way they have all year. But I’m sure as long as they spin true it doesn’t matter.
-
Vertical for me , I find it’s out of my vision better that way. Horizontal is distracting to me
-
Vertical for me.
I started that way years ago and "if it's not broke, why fix it"... besides, it looks nicer, LOL!
-
If well tuned, it doesn't seem to matter arrow flight wise. I tried both and liked horizontal and I'm used to it now. I'm getting to where I twist them a bit to match my bow cant.
-
Horizontal. Anything else is just weird.
-
I have no preference. Rather, I just use whatever position seems to give the best alignment.

Been using 2 blades for 30+ years. Haven't noticed any difference in how they fly horizontal or vertical. I mount mine horizontal. I like nocking an arrow then hang my bow up when hunting. I don't use an arrow holder so the horizontal mount is less affected by wind, which can knock your arrow off. Other than that don't think it makes a difference, unless you use your arrow as an aiming reference as mentioned earlier. Just my 2 cents worth.
