RE: Regret the Whisker Bisquit
I have used a WB on my hunting bows for 3 years. I have no problems with them. I see no change in accuracy out to 65 yards which is well beyond the range I would shoot at a deer anyway. But then I shoot with good form. If you don't shoot with good form and you need to buy a drop away rest to help mask that shortcoming then so be it. Just don't try to say that we all need to do it.
The new B2 WB on my bows don't damage my fletchings but then my bows are welltuned. I've been shooting the same 6 practice arrows for a year without refletching them. They are not wavy or torn. If you can tune a bow they will not damage your fletchings. If you can't tune a bow then maybe you should learn or take up golf or tennis instead. As for even some pro's at pro shops having trouble setting up a WB on a bow? Well I've met some supposed pro shop experts that I wouldn't let tie a string loop on my bow much less set it up completely. Pro shops are just as infiltrated with incompetent jackasses that THINK they know what they are doing as the rest of society.
I love the fact that as atreestand hunter I can lay my bow across my lap without the arrow rattling around the riser. Why lay it across my lap? For close quick minimal movement access when a deer approaches. No reaching up to take my bow off a metal bow hanger risking a click or clang asI do it. No bow rocking back and forthas it hangsfrom that bow hanger on a windy day. No moving parts. No drop away rest cords tied to your string. The arrow is always where you need it to be. It is a very worry free hunting rest.
I particualrly love how everytime a WB thread pops up the same two people who have never used one show up to tell those of us who do use them why we are wrong about WB rests. What's wrong with that picture? So I say Arthur, Z... why waste your time looking ridiculous on just WB threads? I say branch out and diverisfy your lack of knowledge. Pick another topic like Brain Sugery and go find a neurosurgeon and argue with him that you know a better way than him to do a frontal lobotomy. I mean why spend all your time fighting with more knowledgable people on only one of the many topics that you know nothing about?
