"Anecdotal evidence" and testimonials are pretty good assets to have. If science said something did work and people took it to the field and routinely got busted they would not care what the science said, they would not use it. What you and others fail to recognize is that you are not the only, nor the best, nor the most experienced hunters around. We had also had ample experiences and are able to consider what we have done in the past and present and make a pretty darn good assessment. You also fail to recognize that a great majority understand the clothings limitations. Yes, just about anybody can have a fawn walk up to them, whether they are good at scent control or not. But when you notice more and closer encounters with mature deer, you're going to ponder what you did differently and continue doing those things. Naturally, if the only thing you did differently was add some carbon clothing, you would assume it was working. Carbon clothing reminds me of the Whisker Biscuit. I see people slam it because they say no way can it work because of fletching contact. Both products enjoy enormous success and sales because people use them and get great results. If something doesn't perform or is junk, the buying public will figure it out pretty fast, not 20 years later and still going strong.
