I didn't think that last post of mine would be well recieved. Wasn't suprized at all.
boy here we go again with Arthurs CRAP!!!! a man who has absolutely NO EXPERIENCE shooting the WB!!!
Says who? Just because I've never had one mounted on any of MY bows, that doesn't mean I haven't shot them, tuned them, fixed them, cussed them...
I agree but those factors are present in all bows with all types of rests with the exception of drop aways (and even they can be effected by some ofthose conditions)yet people still can get all those othertypes of rests to shoot good for them....huh? go figure.
Carefull Arthur, in your eagerness to stir the pot,your starting to sound likea very uninformed person
Quite the contrary, mon frere. I'm pointing out that these problems exist to some extent with all bows, problemsthe wb superheroes (the guys dressed in colorful leotards and cape, with WBon their breast and calling everyone who disagrees with them "stupid, lazy,uninformed, full of crap, etc.")tend to ignore and avoid discussing. And these problemshave a greater or lesser effectwith different types of rests - the greatest effects on rests that don't allow the arrow to go into free flight at all.
Even if the bow/arrow combinationis set up for a mechanically perfect launch, once a human puts his hand on the grip, all bets are off. Too bad we're not all perfect little robots, ain't it.
It's not that I'm saying the wb is a BAD rest. I'm saying it certainly doesn't meet MY requirements for an arrow rest. Why?
1) Accuracy... Even though a world class shooter did pop a perfect indoor round with it, believe it or not, I am not a world class shooter.
2) I do a lot of small game hunting, and a wb - even the quick load version - is way too slow to load up for quick action followup shots.
3) When I'm hunting, I almost always shoot fingers - whether with stickbow or compound (another point where I veer off from the herd) and the wb is best used with a release, IMO.
4) I've helped several guys do an emergency repair, straightening the arm the bisquit mounts on, so they cancontinue participating in a 3D shoot. So, I question the durability and reliability of the thing. Doesn't seem to take much to bend that arm.
5) In some 45 years of hunting with bow and arrow, I've not had too much trouble keeping the arrow on my rest, so full containment doesn't even make my list of considerations for a rest. Frankly, I think havingsuch adevice that you know is going to keep your arrow from falling off your bow will do nothing but encourage you to be less careful with your movements.If you're sloppy with your movements, you're usually gonna get busted and not get a shot anyway.
6) Then, the one thing I've always disliked about the wb... I've always felt it's priced at least 3 times higher than what it should be. I ain't paying $35 for a 10 dollah rest. And that was for the CHEAP one!
