Horizontal ever since I had the wind blow my arrow off the shelf while making ready to shoot a deer one Nov. day.     :banghead:

However it ends up. Makes no difference to me, one way or t'other.

Horizontal, because I gap-shoot, and to possibly lessen any wind-planing if my arrow isn't perfectly tuned, as is the case on a dodgy release - Ken Beck of Black Widow suggested that on a tuning DVD.

But heck, whether horizontal or vertical or any which way, if it works, and you believe in it, go for it!

Horizontal because I can see what I am shooting at a little better.

O.L. Adcock says horizontal, 'cause your more apt to torque your wrist side to side upon release than to move up or down and it's much less likely to plane that way. So I vote horizontal.

Concentric to the axis of the shaft.  I do not care otherwise.

I do not pay attention to it much. I just tune the head to the shaft and shoot it. I like my shafts to spin like lasers. That is the only thing I care about.
