Atlasman...if you really believe all that "STUFF" there's really no need of adding my flame to the fire.
Which "STUFF" is that?
I guess the simplest way out is to just remind you that we've been trying to eliminate fletching and arrow contact with rest, risers etc forever.... and always will.
I'm aware of that.........people were also POSITIVE that the earth was flat one day too. Not saying that the WB is that drastic of a revolution in archery but it obviously works.......and very well at that so either the bristle contact is so minimal it's effects are negated or something else because it sure shoots pretty darn sweet. Personally I really couldn't care less........I really think that is a reason behind most people's hang up on this rest. They have been struggling for years with the effort to avoid rest contact and now this thing comes along and throws darts when everything they have held sacrid for decades tells them it shouldn't.
The slightest of form errors and grip changes will effect the arrows if there is contact up front .... or in the middle.... or in the back on any arrow. If a guys form is PERFECT he doesn't have much to worry about. THere aren't many like that.
My form isn't PERFECT........probably far from it. Neither of my brother's form is PERFECT. When we are in our stands and a deer is in range it is more then likely worse. I can shoot accurately out to 40 yards with broadheads and 50 with field tips.......at 20 and 30 I wouldn't dare shoot at the same spot........We have killed 7 deer in the last 2 years........all double lung pass throughs. So 3 average Joe's who aren't Olympians and have no desire to shoot paper in Vegas can still make this thing shoot that well in our backyards and from our treestands.........What else is there??
With the wierd shooting positions we find in a tree stand at times these errors are multiplied.You may not beable to relate group sizes to different rest, but hey...like you said, everyone isn't the same and doesn't have the same standards.
I think we all do have the same standards...........a nice double lung passthrough.......the WB is 7 for 7 in that department in my family. What could some other rest offer me over that???......a BETTER double lung passthrough [8D]
The WB is a so so archers crutch as far as I'm concerned.
How exactly can inferior equipment be used as a crutch?? If the rest is poorly designed and produces less accuracy and exaggerated errors then it would be harder to kill a deer with one.......not easier. Using a rest that allows you to shoot like a clown and still get away with it would be a crutch IMO.
It's good enough for him, but not for me.
Really???.......shooting accurately out to 50 yards and double lung passthroughs on 7 deer in a row is not good enough??
What is?
They also make more noise and tear the heck out of fletchings. Who needs that.
This makes me believe you have very little experience shooting a WB if any at all...........because you would know neither one of those is true.
