Whats the best way to mount 2 blade broadheads vertical or horizontal?

Whump Sez; This question comes up quite a bit---- ---mount the heads to suit your site picture. Make sure you have them mounted straight and square on the shaft and they will fly well. The biggest reason for bad arrow flight with broadheads is a head that is not mounted straight. A V block  or bearing type arrow spinner is the most accurate type of aligner but if you have a good eye you can spin the shaft upright and check for wobble.  Hunt safe.

Since the arrows spin in flight anyways, it doesn't matter how you put the broadhead on. Although I put them all on vertically just because I think it looks cool.   :D

Whatever way you please. I've always liked them vertical.

Bucky the Zwickey's on my cedars are mounted vertical. I know Reiner and Bill from PVA like theirs horizontal. .My Ace Super Express on my Carbons are horizontal.

I have my grizzlys mounted vertical

Once the arrow is off the string, it probably doesn't matter.  "Someone" recommended they be mounted horizontally so they don't paddle the air while bending around the riser.

Horizontal....I don't want anything in the way of my vision. same with my Snuffers...mount them in a "Y" so I'm "looking" through the V.

Really is a matter of personal preference. I believe Fred Bear mounted his heads vertical. His reason was when the broadhead touched his knuckle, he knew he was at full draw.

I mount mine vertically mostly so they touch my knuckle wich triggers my release but also because they intrude in my vision less than when horizontal.

Most of mine are vertical but it doesn't matter to me, I just ignore them pick my spot and release.

I mount them a few degrees off vertical, so that they are vertical at full draw with the bow canted. I don't think it matters relative to arrow flight, but the vertical head gives me another reference point when lining up the shot.

I just screw mine in and shoot them.  If the spine is right, brace hight is right and form is correct(as close as I can get it  :D  ) then the broadhead should fly where I am trying to send it.      I have been shooting my broadheads for the past 2 months and so far they fly pretty darn good and I can not tell you there alignment.

Good luck!

I mount mine at 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock. 2 o'clock by the riser.........

Since penetration is the name of the game, I shoot extreme FOC carbons, 3 to 1, single bevel, vertically mounted broadhead so they can go between ribs easier.
   

When I'm not doing that, razor sharp mounted horizontal fills the bill for me.
   

It's a WFYB situation... Whatever floats your boat.
