Broadhead orientation

[8upss]

I’m getting some Steel Force single bevel broadheads for Christmas

Looking for experienced opinions on alignment. Horizontal or vertical?

I like two blades horizontal so I don't use it as a sight.  And three blades "Y", for the same reason.  That's just me.

As far as arrow flight it doesn't matter.

I like 2 o'clock 8 o'clock.

I prefer the sight picture of a horizontally mounted head to vertical, JMO

[McDave]

I like 2 blades horizontal, because it facilitates using the broadhead as a sight.  Diff strokes, I guess!

[Dave Lay]

I like mine vertical , they are out of sight for me like that. Horzional to me is distracting , I think flight wise there’s no diiffrence

[8upss]

I agree that there’s no difference in flight.
My only concern is sight picture. I’m a “split vision” shooter.

If the bow/arrow combination is well tuned, it does not matter. It’s all personal preference after that.

If two blade horizontal. Whether shooting split vision or instinctive it's more out of the way... gap may differ.  If horizontal than its like looking at a field point.

As others have said, it's more a personal preference. I do my Zwickeys horizontal as it gets the broadhead out of my peripheral vision for instinctive shots, but whatever works best for you.

[Red Beastmaster]

Always horizontal. Anything else is just weird.

[slatty]

Two blade horizontal because I like the way it looks.

Orient my heads for visual and sighting purposes.

[Sam McMichael]

Doesn't matter unless you get better alignment in a certain position. Vertical or horizontal never comes into play, because I don't consciously see the broadhead in my sight picture.

I mostly prefer them vertical as I don’t want them in my vision but have found that it really doesn’t matter. Glueing them on wood arrows I just make sure they spin perfect.

[Over&Under]

I orient them the same angle as my now cant...basically vertical so they cant with my bow

I like 2 o'clock 8 o'clock.

DITTO,

I shoot either wood dowels(commercial or otherwise), cane or hardwood shoot arrows. With glue on broadheads I spin the arrow with the point of the broadhead on the tip of my finger. If it wobbles I reheat, readjust and spin again until it spins true no matter how the broadhead is oriented. For stone or trade points I cut the slot for the broadhead the same direction as the slot for the self nock only because it's less confusing for me.

When I use metal I mount them 1 to 7.
