Not exactly a "failure....but I'll tell it again.

I had a buck I was attempting to take go on full alert at the sound of MY arrow being drug across a whisker biscuit rest bristles.

Rob/PA was down this past weekend turkey hunting with me.....and while we were in my ocal bow shop....I conducted a make-shift test.....drawing several different arrows back through a biscuit on a guardian. Some arrows had NO sound, whatsoever. The radial x-weaves I use, however, could be heard from 30 feet or more by HUMAN ears. There's no telling what that sounds like to a whitetail deer.

"Arrow" failure? maybe. "Rest" "failure"? Call it what you will. it's not a combination conducive to stealth hunting.....I can tell you that.
