What or is there a best way to orient a broad head or stone point? Parallel to the string or the cock feather, I.e. 90 degrees to the bow & string? I looked for a thread, but didn't come across one! Thanks, Hawkdancer

I don't think it really matters more of a personal preference . I like mine horizontal or 90 deg to the string.

I cut a bandsaw cut for self nocks and trade and stone points so they are both cut vertical. I really don't think it matters. With commercial glue on points I mount them where they spin true so they can be any which a way.

Yea....some people really get into it with the right or left helical fletch.......hell it really doesn't matter at 15 yards. :)

Guess I'll do a set of each and see which works best! Not sure I'll buy a left helical clamp for the Bitzenberg, though. If I get within 15 yards, the critter will hear me breathing! 20 and I may be all right! Thanks! Any body else who wants to weigh in, let's hear from you, too

My wife likes to hang some of my stone tipped arrows on the wall. So I mount mine (shoot shafts) the same as the string. Planed arrows, always same as string, across the grain is how I do mine. Ed

I mount them with the blade going from 2 to 8 o'clock. Tried the other ways and they screw up my aiming for some strange reason. When I tried 12 to 6 o'clock my elevation is all screwed up and likewise 3 to 9 o'clock my windage gets screwed up. I'm not sure if shooting right handed is the factor but can't do 11 to 5 or 10 to 4 o'clock mountings at all.

If I’m doing planed/store bought arrow shafts I cut the nock perpendicular to the grain and do the same for the stone point. Don’t wanna split a shaft! On shoot shafts I keep both cut the same just because. I used to shoot arrows that were short enough that I’d draw till the back of the broad head/ stone point would tough my finger, so that set up was needed there too.
