Broadhead orientation

[Bowwild]

It doesn't matter to my tuned flight, but I like the picture the 1 to 7 orientation makes.  I won't hunt with horizontal though. Again, its a mental picture I don't like.

I mount them whatever way they spin truest on my wood shafts.

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.
            

Same for me.  And aligning them all the same allows you to mount them in the quiver so that the blades and the feathers don't touch or rub against each other.

I set mine about 8 and 2 so they are pretty much dead level wih my bow canted.

[Papajack]

I don't have a preference, only that my arrows spin and fly straight to point of focus.

I do this (orientation as seen when drawing). Just happens to be the most comfortable for my sight picture. I shoot split vision. I do can't the bow a bit, so the BH ends up around 2:00/8:00.

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

I think I’d glue up one of each and do some shooting. You can always unglue reorient and resharpen

I just can't shoot if my broadheads aren't oriented at 2:57 and 9:03.

Wait a minute Charlie.   

[Pat B]

Is that EST or Central time, Charlie?   

[Captain*Kirk]

Do you have to re-orient them during daylight savings time?

[Charlie Lamb]

I have different sets of arrows for daylight savings and different time zones.

  ....wait, is that a thing now?

I never imagined a new set of broadheads would complicate my life so much

I just have my wife put em on cause they are always right... 

[Wudstix]

That would have saved me a bunch of time.

Nice Charlie, now I have to make up a quiver with 5:30, 6:00, 6:30..., depending on what time my shot will come.

[8upss]

I’ll put this thread to bed (maybe).
I screwed the broadheads into an insert and slipped the insert, unglued, into the shaft.
I tested the sight picture at every angle, and settled on vertical with my cant (right hand shooter), roughly 10 to 4.

That’s Central Standard Time.

They fly like my field points

I have always shot true vertical.  It has worked for me and my shooting style for 50 years or so.  I shoot 3 under and gun barrel under my right eye.

I am sure it may not work for everyone but then that's trad archery.
