I know that some things don't translate to the written word as well as others do but I don't remember telling you that in my "scenario" the grip came loose, I just said it was the grip's fault. That being said my point was it seems pretty hard to swallow that you knew exactly what the cause was when you essentially were/are a beginer bow hunter, that's all.

Another thing that has come to light is that you pretty much did no research into your equipment (at least as far as rests were concerned) because if you had you would have known the tips to keep your draw quiet. But instead of responding to these type of threads with " I didn't but if you set it up correctly and follow some simple rules to keeping the rest quiet it will be just that.....quiet" or something to that order, you just come out and blast the thing and say it's loud. Then you try a backdoor complement by saying your kid has one and it's a good rest, with the underlying thought that well it's good enough for kids but not you.

Even if what you say happened and it was the rest that spooked the deer (I still don't think so), it was still entirely your fault because you didn't take the time to read up on it and set it up correctly in the first place. Yet, you seem to chime in on every one of these type of posts with the "it's too loud montra" yet never explain that perhaps in your case the noise could have been corrected easily.

Insteadyou go out and buy another rest and promtly alter it to be quiet because it was........too loud.
