Default RE: Whisker Bisquit Accuracy

atlasman, et al, it's not the whisker bisquit that ticks me off. It's the BS that surrounds it that irks me. Like the guy who works for CAP that wrote the article that aeroslinger read. It's a bunch of hooey, written by a guy who's paycheck relies on getting them sold. Ron Popeil (Ronco, Ginzu knives and such) would be proud his advertising strategy is getting such a wide play in archery circles.

Mathews did the same thing,overstating how good the single cam bow is to all other cam designs. Overstating is the politically correct term for what most regular folks call lying. Is the single cam bow good? Sure. Is it everything Mathews says it is? Not hardly.

Same with the wb. I'm just tired of people not using their heads and blindly accepting everything the advertisers claim.

Is the wb as accurate and forgivingas other rests? NO, it's not. Otherwise you'd see gobs of them on the 3D circuit. Do you see them? In Hunter class, maybe. Not in the other classes, not if the shooters want to be competitive. When was the last time someone won an unlimited pro class world championship with a wb? Heck, there hasn't been a first time.

Is it accurate enough for hunting? As long as all the prerequisites have been met (bow tune, form, etc), yes. Is it everything that's claimed? No. It's not.
