Went into the shop today to purchase a drop away rest. Shop guy comes up to me and redirects me over to the WB. Says that every guy that works there shoots one and I should give it a try.

15 minutes later, I am standing in front of a target, 20 yards away with my release aid, my arrows and the proper WB that fits my arrowson the exact bow I shoot now. I nocked an arrow, fired it down range. Here are my thoughts:

1.A bit loud. (bristles against the arrow shaft)
2. Love the full containment.
3. I would need one with a windage adjustment.

Nocked a second arrow, fired it down range after the shop guy made some modifications. The guy next to me said that he has firedapprox. 5000 shots through his andit looks and reactslike new. Here are my thoughts:

1. Not loud anymore.
2. Still love the full containment.
3. I would need one with a windage adjustment.
4. Why are all the whiskers now sticking out/criss crossedin the biscuit?

After a few more adjustments including centershot, etc. I fired a third, fourth and fifth arrow down range. Here are my thoughts:

1. Not loud.
2. Still love the full containment.
3. I would need one with a windage adjustment.
4. Boy those whiskers are looking worse. (cheap looking whiskers)
5. The whisker biscuit circleis made of plastic....might be some metal inside. I can move the thing with my fingers. Not sure I like that.Does not seemdurable enough.

Once everyone was clear, I walked down to pick up my arrows and immediately was pissed. My blazer vanes were destroyed, warped beyond any sort of repair other than to strip the arrows and re-apply a vane.

5 shots = 5 wrecked arrows? I asked the shop guy how this can happen. He told me that his vanes were warped as well but they still shot well through the WB.

.................?

Is this what I can expect? If it is...WHAT A DISSAPOINTMENT!

A straight vane "sifting" through fibers is on thing. A warped vane "sifting" through fibers is another. Warped vanes are going to cause greater contact with the WB. I don't want that. Loss of accuracy and loss of speed.

Say this WB wasn't set up correctly. Can I still expect to see warping of my vanes after 100 shots? 1000 shots?

As a courtesy, the shop refletched my arrows free of charge.

They offered to have me try another biscuit....."no thanks".
