I never suggested that the WB would cause fletching problems with tearing or coming off
I didn't say you did. I said it frequently comes up on theses forums.
I was talking more about speed or a slight loss of it from the
contact with the wiskers.
It's true that most will lose 1 or 2 fps over some rests. Is there anything less consequential in bowhunting than a couple fps on an arrow? Even the color of your fletch is more important than that.
I guess it like they say...........To each his own!
Of course. I'm just trying to see that the OP (and others considering a WB) get good information about the rest. If you know what you're doing, the rest can be setup to work very well. You may still prefer another type, but not because there's a significant flaw with the WB.
