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.

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

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.

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.
