Howler....Jeramy.....thanks. Yeah....9 yds was too close. I know that, NOW....but I'd only been deer hunting a short time when this incident occurred. I thought.....closer is better. I STILL shouldn't have had to worry about equipment noise. I don't, now.

The discussion arose due to the fact that I said "my" buck went on full alert after hearing my radial x-weave being drug across my arrow rest. Another board member just basically told me that I didn't know what I was talking about....and that the amount of "noise" from an arrow rest was a non-issue. I was told that something else.....I or another piece of my equipment had put my buck on alert. It coudn't have been the rest. How silly.

I was just posting this to show that I'm not the only one this has happened to. Of course.....who's this Bartylla guy to say that the "whisper" of an arrow over an arrow rest put his deer on alert? What's he know?

Rumor has it he's a kook and someone from NY swears they heard him fart in his draw cycle.
