It doesn't matter, just train with broadheads. Since I am seeing the arrow and tip/broadhead in peripheral vision the image is blurred anyway, so the brain will adjust for subtle difference between broadhead and tip if you shoot broadheads. You'll need 2 good shots with broadhead for your brain to learn what to use as reference.

Horizontal, and use the tip to aim just like with field points.

Yeah, I tried mounting them so they’re vertical at my correct degree of cant, and so far, it’s more distracting than helpful…
So because it didn’t provide an instant improvement, OK I gave up on the whole idea…

Ive tried booth ways and it really didnt seem to matter as the head was blurred. I use the shaft more for aiming then the arrow head.

My first choice arrow is horizontal but i also tend to use my shaft more as a reference.

I mount horizontal. Years ago, I read an article on broadhead flight. Author claimed that there's a split second when the arrow has come off the string and the fletching has not started spinning the arrow, a verticle mounted arrow can catch air/wind from paradox and that make it shoot off target.
I also see to remember that he stated for a right handed shooter that would make that arrow impact right. It happened in the second bend. First bend is into the bow (right) second is left which made the arrow catch wind on the left side impacting right.
Made sense to me, but I never tested it out nor do I remember the name of the author. Much easier to mount it horizontal than testing vertical.

Bowmania Same here, and it definitely made a difference when I tested it. Went horizontal from then on.

Rick, but this means you fletched after the broadhead was screwed in because at the end the way it screws in more often than not goes vertical or slightly oblique. .

Rick, but this means you fletched after the broadhead was screwed in because at the end the way it screws in more often than not goes vertical or slightly oblique. . I install my inserts (with broadheads screwed in tight), only after the fletching is done. I make sure the fletching is oriented the way I want it when the arrow is nocked on the string, then while the arrow is on the bow, I install the insert with broadhead , and rotate it to horizontal. Edit for a P.S. I don't use hot melt on my inserts. I use the original Gorilla Glue. That gives me plenty of time to make any adjustments before the glue sets, and once that glue sets it's all there to stay.

Gotcha. No arrows were actually shooting fieldpoints and you replaced them with broadheads in a pinch - unless the arrow was prepared for broadhead when it was built.

Yep, but when I do swap from FP to BH, I remove the insert, and realign if necessay. If I have to replace a BH, and the new one doesn't align, then I remove the insert, and realign.

How do you remove the insert being glued in with the gorilla glue

How do you remove the insert being glued in with the gorilla glue Heat. It's not quite as easy as hot melt, but it is heat reversible.

Boil water and stick the arrows in the recipient after the water boiled. 1 minute in will be enough to get even the long 100gr inserts.

Also, when you heat the Gorilla glue, never do it to make a quick adjustment. Always remove the insert, clean everything back up, then re-glue it, because that gorilla glue once heat released will never stick again as well as on it's initial set.
