I guess I'm just not understanding how it can be as accurate with all the fletching contact, the movement at the shot, and the fact it's supported by whiskers for gosh's sakes. Once again, it might be as accurate. I'm just not able to see "HOW" it's that accurate.
Ok, now there's a question I understand. We've been taught FOREVER that ANY fletching contact is terrible, horrible, and simply unacceptable.
BUT, in the case of the WB, because each of the 3 fletchings have the SAME contact as the others.....They cancel each other out. It's a non issue. ARe they more vulnerable to flaws in form? Yeah, probably, but the rest in and of itself is JUST as accurate as any other.
Food for thought............
Dave Cousins once took an arrow just to prove a point, and and shot it cock fletch down on his spring steel 1 hole rest, so that the cock vane would have direct contact with the blade........when he had been sighted in for cock vane up. On a 90 meter FITA target (100 yards) his arrow just barely missed the 10 ring.....roughly 6" high at 100 yards.
