I dont know if anyone has said this or what but here is my 2 cents on the topic. I wb vs a drop away. I am a believer in a drop away. Heres why if you shoot an arrowwith a drop awayand after the shot you have bad release form you can get away with it because nothing is touching the arrow vs the WB is guideing the arrow until it is completely through. If you have great form and learn how to shoot through the shoot its just as accurate as the drop away but for that ice cold, big buck occasion its nice to know that, you have a little room of error in your form
This is a BIG misconception!
First of all, no matter what rest you're using, the arrow is still connected to the string! If your form is bad or your follow through not right your arrow flight will STILL BE EFFECTED! You drop away guys act like as soon as the rest drops your arrow is free from the bow...Sorry to "drop" this on you but it will be connected to the bow until it's released from the string and therefore will still be effected by poor form.
Also,it's been argued thatit's actually better to keep the arrow ON the rest as long as possible before release. You are finding that more and more of the drop away rest companies trying to figure out how to keep the arrow on the rest for as long as possible and still get the prongs to drop away and clear the fletchings at the last moment....Don't believe me? Take a look at the advertisement for the new "Wammy" drop away.
This actually is a plus for the WB
Next, has anyone even stopped to think just how short a time the arrow is attachedto the bow (string or rest)at the time of the release?? Milliseconds folks milliseconds. It would be very difficult to effect the flight of the arrow (once released) even if you tried!
No, 99% of the time your form is bad BEFORE the shot. If your not following through correctly it won't matter what rest you have on your bow. Once youtouch the release that arrow is off the string and away from the bow before you can even blink!
Does it stay in contact with the rest longer than a drop away? Yes it does but has ANYONE actually clocked what that difference in time is?? I bet if you did you'd be surprised at just how insignificant that number really is.
And now were finding out that it's actually better to keep the arrow on the rest as long as possible....go figure.[&:]
