If your arrows are tuned well, it does not make a difference. The reason I align mine all the same, and horizontal, is to make the sight picture look the same on every shot.

About 4:30 for me.   I'm on a roll, sorry,

No particular angle. I just go with whatever angle lines up well and spins true.

I used to want them 11 & 5 so when I canted the bow the blades would disappear,, but the past couple years i just leave them where they spin the best,, even 2" wide treesharks I don't pay attention anymore and don't notice and difference in flight.

Good idea on the spin test.  Hadn't heard of that.  Do you just use a cresting machine?

However they wind up is fine with me.

I dont, not a huge fan of crested arrows. Mine is handmade, I used teflon coated nails to create two "X" cradles and mounted a board on the end that the tip lines up on. If theres any wobble the tip makes an arcing or oblong track. I use it for straightening arrows and also tip alignment. Not fancy but sufficient for my tastes.

I align my two blades with one in line with the cock feather and the other where it lays.  3 blades are aligned with the feathers.  No other reason then a touch of OCD.

The Whittler

On wood I glue the BH on horisontal and spin the arrow if there is no wobble then I'm good to go. If I feel a wobble then I will reheat and turn the BH until I get no wobble.

I do the same with alum. and carbon. I like my BHs horizontal but it really doesn't matter as long as they spin free.

I like mine vert.. no particular reason but all the heads are aligned the same so I always have the same sight picture.  I do not want to look down the shaft and "see" something different.  My mind has limited 'RAM'-- at the time of truth,  I do not want any thing new that may cause my mind to wander.

I align mine vertically mostly.  Sometimes I'll get one that I keep turning to take wobble out, then it ends up where it ends up. I have done some horizontal on a couple arrows that were 1/4" too short and the back of the broadhead would hit my finger and throw off my concentration if mounted vertical.  End result, I can shoot them however they come.

I've never paid attention to this...I just make sure they spin true.

If I take the time....I like them horizontal for the sight picture and the hand clearance.
