Does not matter from an arrow flight standpoint in my experience. However, some have mentioned over the years that at the vertical position, heavy crosswinds may cause flight issues.

Personally, I always set mine in the horizontal position to keep my sight picture unobstructed.

I mount mine horizontal, so I don't have a sight in front of me at full draw.  It's just a distraction to my focus on the critter.

Regarding friends post and I hope he doesn’t mind my thought?
I don’t think any crosswind would affect flight. The arrows spin and imo the feathers would cause more wind flight issues but I can’t be sure. Now if it was stated if you hold at full draw crosswind might put side pressure on the bow I’d agree to that a little cause bow quivers would do lots more.
No dis on friends post.
To the op I just throw the arrows on with screw ins. Wood arrows get a 45 degree for some reason

As long as they are mounted straight and true, it doesn't matter how you do it. Put them where you like them. I have my own theory and I like them horizontal, but that's just the way I like it.

I mount mine to where they spin true and don't worry about it.
