    Default High, Middle, Or Low Mount For Your V1?

    Hi All,

    While in the process of testing the 9500ix I got to thinking about the different mounting positions. I wanted to get a current census if you will as to how many of you new or old owners mount your V1 high, middle, or low.

    As for me I find that in the middle seems to work better for arrow accuracy where as up high is better for more detection and low I am not really familiar with as I do not mount my V1 low. In all the three years I have owned my V1 every month it seems I change position and what bands and settings I enable/disable with the exception of KA and Laser.

    So where do you mount your V1? Feel free to post why if you would like, but I am really looking at percentages here so thanks in advance.

    I got mine next to my review mirror as high as can possibly mount it.

    Up high above the rear view mirror hardwired. Ive had it all over, and up high is easily the best.

    My dash is 4 feet off the ground, so a low mount isn't really a low mount for me. I use a mirror bracket to mount mine, so it's definitely a high mount for me. There, my V1 can see over most cars.

    None of your options are "Pointed at the sky FTW".

    I'll mount mine near the rearview, so I can see it when looking at the rearview and side mirrors. Recently, I've been running dual v1s, so the second one is on the other side of the mirror so I can catch it in my peripheral vision.
