I personally never shot it, but I know a guy that does and he likes it pretty well. The only downfall he says that is has, is that is does caused wear to your fletching.

i've heard there pretty useful when hunting in tight situations. you don't have to worry about your' arrow falling off the rest. i have also heard that they eat your fletchings. soooo........?

Be sure to check out Matt's links.

IMO, the fletching issue is a bit of a problem with "soft" vanes like the AAE Plastifletch or Duravanes. With Bohning, AAE Speedflytes, or Flex Fletch (I've heard), the vanes do not suffer much at all. Feathers also work well with this rest. As mentioned, the arrow security is excellent, and the accuracy can be very good if you take the time to really tune the bow/rest/arrow combination.

Why make a post like this ?

I wouldn't come on here and say...... hey I have never tried a Bodoodle and won't but I think they give poor arrow flight.....and I want some of you to post back so I can argue about it !! [:'(]

Why don't you read all the links Matt and 5shot provided and get back to us ! I wouldn't be using a WB if I had fletching problems , accuracy problems, or any problems......for that matter !

I guess some of you guys think that their are thousands of archer's out there dealing with re-fletching constantly........can't shoot spots......can't shoot a good round of 3D !!

Do ya'll really think that as many people would buy WB rests ...as they do......if they were so god aweful bad ?

Give me a break !! As you can tell I'm getting sick of these posts .....especially from people who have never actually tried one !!

Let me guess " Goes against everything I have been taught about fletching contact " ! [][:'(]

The WB is an excelent rest , Ill second CBM , if you havent tryed it , and dont have first hand knowlage/experiance , your just guessing , and you are probably wrong .
