Default RE: Biscuit vs open rests

If it were out of tune, would all the vanes be damaged or only some of them? Can I tune it in with the wrinkled vains? If so, where do I start? I did see the arrows fishtailing the past two days, but there was a strong cross wind.
If you are only getting damage on some of your arrows and not others then I would check the arrow nock rotations. Most if not all of the ICS style carbons on the market are compression fit and can be rotated for proper "clearance" or alignment in this case. If you are only getting fletching wear on some arrows and not others then it may be because of fletching alignment. However, the bow probably is out of proper center shot and nock height alignment if you are getting significant wear on most if not all of your vanes.

I do not personally shoot a WB but I have set up hundreds if not thousands for customers down at the shop. They are inarguably the most popular hunting rest available at the shop and there is a decent selection. Folks like the simplicity, low noise levels (with the carbons in stock), and foolproofness of the rest. Price isn't that bad either when you compare it to some of the other models/styles on the market.
