Forgive me, aeroslinger, butI've got to pick apart something you said. It's not you I'm picking on but you had the bad luck to say something I've heard far too often.
But a WB has EVEN fletch contact....
As long as the fletches are glued with the leading ends even on the arrow shaft; as long as the fletches are all in good shape with no tears or holes; as long as the bisquit is mounted dead square to the arrow's line of travel in both directions (vertical and horizontal); as long as there is no arrow paradox; as long as the bow's tiller is perfectly adjusted to match the grip pressure from the shooter's hand; as long as the bow delivers straight and level nock travel; and as long as there is no hand torque on the grip, thatwould bethe truth. Unlikely for all those things to happen simultaneously in the real world though.
The next part of the comment is a true myth busting concept killer:
...that actually tends to straighten the arrow out...
Think about that. The arrow would have to be going crooked through the rest or it wouldn't have to be straightened out. So, if it's going crooked through the rest, then it's painfully obvious it's NOT making even contact with the fletching.Therefore it'sthe UNEVEN fletching contact that's supposedly straightening the arrow out.
By the same token, if the arrow is going straight and there is grip torque on the shot,the rest will get crooked with the arrow and, when the uneven fletch contactstraightens the arrowout, it'll be off course. But that's justthe flip side of the coin.
I think that's my biggest problem with the wb. It's not the rest itself. I like the simplicity of the thing and simplicity is a real benefit for a hunting rig. If I hunted with a compound andif I used a release, I'd much rather use one for hunting than a dropaway, for sure. My problem is the way people invent these littlefalsehoods about how it works, and the way they are then accepted at face value without engaging the brainand then get repeated over and over again.
Now, aeroslinger, I'm not accusing you of making it up because I've heard it far too often from too many sources. You simply repeated the myth. Like all myths, when you think it through, you see how much baloney it's made from.
