Nope never seen one on a target bow, though I dont shoot much target, except 3D and see plenty of them there. If I was shooting target would not even want one. However, IMHO, as a hunter, and speed is not an issue with me, or contacting the fletch, I will always have one on. The arrow still passes throough and doesnt make any noise that I can hear, not a deer though, but again, knocks em dead, and it is one less thing to worry about in the stand or blind. The arrow does not fall off the rest and if you hang the bow on a hanger or place it in a blind bow holder, chances are when you reach for it, it might slip off the drop away and it is one less thing to worry as the deer or Tom approaches. So, for me I will always have one on my hunting and 3D bows! [8D][8D][8D]
