2 blade mount vert or horiz?

[pruski]

on my arrow nocked on string should my 2 blades be horizontal or vertical?  make a difference?  thanks, steve

Doesn't matter flight wise just what's good for your eyes. I mount mine so when the bow is canted at draw the head is horizontal.

I like horizontal......no resistance with archers paradox......Don't know if it makes a difference but that's what I do.

I have mine 90 degrees off of string to minimize paradox like ron w said.  I have no proof to back it up, but my muzzy phantom 2-blades fly NICE, so that's what I do. Good Luck

I mount mine so they spin perfect. Some are vertical, some horizontal, and some are in-between. If your broadhead is not on perfectly straight, you will have flight issues.

I like my top blade between 3 and 4 o'clock and the bottom blade between 9 and 10 o'clock when I am at full draw.  I just like that sight picture.

X2.Horizontal doesn't seem to mess with my field of view as much as vertical either.

Horizontal for me since 1972

I mount mine so that the top blade is about 2 o'clock and the bottom is at about 8.  The idea is that when I cant my bow my natural amount, the view over the blade is flat.

It doesn't matter, when the time comes I don't seem to notice the head .

Mine are usually vertical or about 1 and 7 oclock. I mount them wherever they spin good then I twist nock around to the feather that gets as closest to what I want.

What Shedrock said. However they have to be so they spin straight. This way, that way...doesnt matter a whole lot to me.

thanks for the input, steve

Yep. I do the same.

My top blade kind of lines up with my top hen feather (cock feather out). Then when I cant the bow the blades pretty much disappear from my sight. I also draw until the back of the bottom blade touches my index finger. This angle makes that work perfect.

If your arrows aren't flying well, I think it's a spine issue rather than the direction of the broadhead. I've tried them at every direction and they fly the same. I just set them up this way for the reasons above.

Thats my strategy as well.

[Stumpkiller]

I was taught to mount mine perpendicular to the riser to minimize any paradox sailing, side-wind effect before the spin starts and also to keep them out of my visual as much as possible.  Don't know if it matters . . . but I get good arrow flight with them that way.

It is all personal preference and should not make a hill of beans difference if your arrows are well tuned. I like mine horizontal as it keeps the blade out of my vision more.

I mount mine horizontal.  Doesn't matter though.  Just make sure they spin straight.

[YORNOC]

Always did mine vertical, kinda disappears for me this way.
