when i shoot, i move a little when i release, the sudden change from 70 pounds on my hand to zero i move. i think this would happen to anybody unless they had robotic arms. point is with my drop away that little bit i do move doesnt matter at all. because all the arrow is touching is the string, with a wb any little bit you move it will have an effect on the arrows flight.
That makes no sense........if you move on release with a drop away you why wouldn't it effect flight?? Any movement of the front of the bow (grip) will alter the path of the arrow coming off the string. If your grip moves to the right then the string goes right yet the arrow remains straight and the opposite is also true. Torque will have the opposite effect of grip going right and string going left.........a drop away isn't going to help either situation. Any movement after release is going to effect arrow flight until that arrow has left the string.........no rest will cure that.
oh and tell me please how friction doesnt make something slow down. last time i checked that was a known fact backed up by everyone who knows anything.
Obviously you have very little if any experience with a WB.........if you did you would understand that the bristles don't squeeze the arrow to cause the kind of friction you are suggesting. Shoot one through a chrono and you will see.
shoot a branch, does your arrow deflect off it? well your whisker biscuit is acting as a whole bunch ofbranchessurrounding it. any bit that itmoves after the arrow leaves the string your arrow will not fly true or as straight as on that has no deflections. and a drop away the arrow has no defelctions.and im not saying a wb causes tons of friction heck it might not even be measurable, 4 inches a second slower maybe, but it does decrease arrow speed a little. unless they are made of a frictionless material. i guess all im trying to say is logically thinking, and in my case personal experience, the dropaway is more accurate, for me.
