Title: 2 Blades ?
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on May 18, 2010, 09:36:00 PM
when you glue them on,

Do you want them horizontal or vertical to the ground?  I have heard both, is it a preference thing or is there a better way to glue them on?

I like them horizontal as it affects my sight picture less.

I like horzontal, but can shoot them either way.  It's pretty much a personal thing.

I like them vertical so the back edge touches my finger prior to release.

I always mount mine horizontally then give them a half turn clockwise if I'm shooting right wing feathers and counter clockwise if shooting left wing.
It works for me.

I like Horizontal. My thought is the arrow flexes horizontally more at release than vertical until it starts spinning. If I mount the blade horizontally maybe the head won't affect the flight as much.??
Who knows!?

I like mounting mine canted so they are horizontal when I shoot. As long as your set up is tuned well it really doesn't make much differnce. I've shot them vertical and horizontal but I prefer them horizontal. How ever you are comfortable and confident in is what works.

I prefer vertical, but with one set of arrows using the large 160 Magnus I had better flight with them flat.

I prefer them vertical just a personal thing don't really know if it makes a difference.

Charlie, that was good.   :laughing:  
Just made me think, nobody else is using the
3 O'Clock LW,  9 O'Clock RW method that I've been using.

I have them horisontal.
Just so the sight picture always looks the same.

I mount mine vertical but have shot them mounted horizontal. as far as sight picture goes i look at a spot on the animal not the whole thing, try one of each and come up with your own conclusion.

I prefer vertical.affects my sight picture less.But like they say it just preference.

Post by: robtattoo on May 19, 2010, 08:50:00 AM
Honestly, I don't even think about it. Just glue 'em on & spin 'em til they're straight.

I mount all of mine horizonal, but add a slight twist down and to the right to allow for my cant (left handed shooter).  That way the head doesn't intrude into my sight picture.

Horizontal so that it doesn't effect my sight picture.  Find that even though I don't think I gap, I shoot low if they are vertical.
