Horizontal for me. I prefer an unobstructed view of what I am shooting at.

Horizontal is easier to aim, but I think as long as the blades are in line with one of the fletchings, it flies the same.

I like them vertical.  I find that they fly better for me.

I am a fixed crawl shooter, so I need the point of my arrow easily viewable and the spot to hit, so I mount my Sharks and Deltas horizontal.

Horizontal for me.  As long as the broadhead and arrow are properly tuned, I don't really think it would make a difference.  JMO

I prefer to mount mine vertical, or sometimes horizontal or somewhere in between.  I'm focused on them spinning good and really don't care worry about the angle.

That's a good point (see what I did there?).  Having them horizontal would create a "line" that would make gap and crawl shooting a lot easier because it's a flat broad reference point.

Vertical, when at anchor I have middle finger against a tooth in the corner of mouth, feather touching nose, thumb knuckle under jaw and back of broadhead blade just touching my index finger on my bow hand. If any of those is missing then something is off.

I mount them so the arrow spins true no matter which way they are.

I take my arrows out of the back quiver with my thumb on the nock index.  Especially with wider heads, it is important to drag them out of the quiver flat to the leather, so mine are vertical.

i am almost the exact same. Middle finger to i back side of upper i tooth with nose barely touching the arrow. I use the vertical blade as a visual reference as well

I go vertical.  Have been doing it that way for years.....  Keep shots 30 and under, trying to stay around 20 or less.....

I like to mount them at about the angle of a back slash symbol..../////...or maybe slanted a bit more.

As long as your setup is well tuned, it don't make a hill of beans difference!

I mount mine at a slight angle so that with the bow canted at full draw, the heads are horizontal.
