Default RE: Regret the Whisker Bisquit

So, why is it you wb guys get so mad about it when someone says they don't like them, and goes on to explain their reasons?
Speaking only for myself, I'm don't get angry, though it may seem that way with a computer screen that has the reader substituting emotion where there is none.

I don't mind a person not liking the WB or switching to another rest and preferring it. On the other hand, I don't like myths being perpetuated about a good product. The only way I can let other hunters know that it's worth trying, is to explain my arguments as to why I believe it is such a good rest for a hunter. I like to explain how the problems people encounter are easy to overcome, if you know what to do. The debate seems to get heated, not when someone explains why it didn't work for them, or why they don't like it, but when someone decides to belittle those who use it or exagerate the problems one may encounter. I see an awful lot of that and it reminds of the bow brand wars - which are absolutely rediculous in my view.

My reasons choosing a particular rest are very clear in my mind, but I don't expect others to think like I do. Nothing wrong with shooting off your knuckle, if that is what turns you on! I do it myself, when the mood hits. Obviously, if someone tries a WB, they are interested in the benefits of a full capture rest. When they have problems, it serves no purpose to call the WB junk and act incredulous that anyone would even try such a contraption. What helps, is to see if we can get it working well for them. If not, then let them move on.
