Default RE: WB; not accurate?

I posted this a while back but nobody seemed to pay attention to it.

What about the trend by the drop away folks of trying to keep the arrow ON the rest for as long as possible stating that it makes for a more stable arrow?

I know that it's the "Wammy's" talking point. They say an arrow is better stabilized if left on the rest for a longer period of time. Could you imagine the panic in the drop away ranks if this ends up being true?

I'm not buying the "less forgiving" theory either. I don't think it matters in the least what rest you have on your bow. At todays speeds. that arrow is on the rest fractions of a second. I believe most folks problems are happening BEFORE the release is even tripped. Once that arrow is released it spends a millisecond of time on the rest....any rest.

I don't know.....All I know is my arrows go where I aim them at any distance I shoot and I'm using a Whisker Biscuit. If they don't it has nothing to do with the rest or any other component on the bow....except for they person behind it.
I think the bold portion has a lot to do with it.
