broadhead vertical or horizontal

[bucksdown]

good morning, hey guys why does it seem my broadheads have always seemed to fly better vertical? i shoot two blade, three under with my bow cantered about 1 o'clock, cock feather turned toward riser.

[JimB]

Either way.I use horizontal and like to keep them all the same but some don't worry about how they are oriented.I think if it affects anything it is sight picture.If it suits you,do it.

[bigbadjon]

I mount mine diagonally, but I'm not sure it makes a difference.

[Big Bird]

I mount mine horizontal.but don't make a difference how they fly.

[arky714]

if arrows are tuned is doe's not matter...

[Terry Green]

I liked Ken Becks answer on the Black Widow Tuning video....it made a lot of sense.  Vertical for some problems and Horizontal for others.

All things being equal, I think horizontal is best all around because there is no air pressure to create steering as the arrow paradoxes and moves forward out of the bow.

if you tightrn the broadhead and the blades don't line up as you would like, how do you back the broadhead up by unsrewing it to where it lines up right AND keep it tightened?  I guess my question is, how do you tighten it?

[buckeye_hunter]

Add a small rubber o-ring/washer

[Night Wing]

If my 2 blade broadhead spins true and as a bonus, if it's horizontal, I'm tickled green.   :D

[Bowwild]

Once tuned to my bow a true broad head will shoot the same no matter how it is oriented. However the sight picture I like best is 45 degrees. For some reason a horizontal mount really messes with my mind.

[JimB]

PA Stickbow Boy,I build my own arrows so I either orient the head by turning it as I glue in the insert or when installing the broadhead on a broadhead adapter.Naturally,each broadhead is lined up for a specific arrow.I use an electric engraver to number each broadhead and also put the same number on the aluminum footing,behind the broadhead.This way,if I take the broadheads off to use blunts or field points,I can get the broadhead back on the arrow it was set up for.

[Pat B]

I mount glue on points so the arrow spins true. They fly the same no matter how the points end up as far as I can tell.

[cacciatore]

It makes no difference on my set ups.

[Jim Keller]

I build my arrows and glue the insert then thread on the broadhead and align it where I want it before it dries. I use 5 min. epoxy.

[sagebrush]

I mount mine at 10 and 4 o'clock. Not that it makes any difference.Gary

[Steelhead]

I mount mine horizontal.I dont want to see the broadhead vertically.Its a distraction for me I feel

Some like vertical for a draw length check.When the broadhead hits thier index finger they know they have thier proper draw length.So it can help in thier draw length consistancy.

[Whump]

Whump Sez; Bucksdown--it is probably because you like it that way. Since this game is mental as well as form ,follow thru and practice, your perception of what is going on is as important as the rest. The one thing about archery is ; If it feels good you can do it without worrying about an archery transmitted disease.     Hunt safe.

[Andrew Downs]

Another for Horizontal.
I align it with the cockfeather -  it seems to distract me less than vertical.

[huey]

Vertical, horizontal seems to hit low.

[Benner]

Horizontal, I don't see it that way.
