Default RE: Regret the Whisker Bisquit

did you read the test I copied and pasted ? thats what their results were, not mine.
let me paste it again.
The test was superficial at best. I've tested mine with over 200 days hunting with it, in all kinds of whether including below zero, freezing rain, sleet, snow, high wind, rain and once in while, nice weather. It performs great in all conditions that I've used it in. His test with the bucket of water and the freezer is rediculous. Take any accessory, do the same, and it will fail. In a real world ice storm, it will work fine. I know, because I've experienced it.

Also, did you read the test? Some quotes from it.....

Some will argue the appearance of the fletching affects arrow flight. We concede there are probably subtle aerodynamic effects introduced when fletching is wavy versus perfectly straight, but, honestly, our findings suggest, out to 40 yards that this is not so.
We ruined more fletching from arrows colliding with each other and tearing the fletching than we did using the Whisker Biscuit. The fletching damage is way overblown by competitors.
we found very little difference in arrow flight or accuracy out to 40 yards as this bristle wear set in.
Once again, the competition wants you to believe the Whisker Biscuit is a noisy rest. Sorry, not so!
We were shooting into the same holes from 40 yards, no problem. We found the competition claims that vane contact with the Biscuit affects flight to be bogus.
The average archer will most likely never experience any of the observations we discovered unless you are specifically looking for them. The aggressive archer who spends months preparing and shoots hundreds of arrows has solutions available before he even gets started.
When you balance all this against versatility, cost, function and the fact you can use the same rest to shoot your carbons or aluminum arrows we feel this is a solid product!
Even with the reviewer's very limited time with the rest, he could tell it was a good hunting rest. Those of us who have spent many dozens of days actually using it, know it to be a great hunting rest.
