Yes Rory i actually have used one before and my findings were conclusive on the fact that it threw off my shot due to interference with the vains.
I smell something...did someone step in.....
You threw off that shot, not the rest.
I think alot of archery is confidence. If you dont feel confident with your rig...you wont shoot good. If someone believes that the WB will shoot bad, I think it makes them shoot bad.
Idk maybe I'm crazy, but I HAVE to have a stabilizer. 2 years ago I was shooting amazing groups at 30 yards, for my abilities anyway. Then tragedy struck, i stepped on and broke my stabilizer. I still continued trying to shoot, but missed the bag more often than hitting it. I lost 7 arrowsthat day alone. I finally hung up the bow until my new stabilizer came in....screwed it in and shot immediately after it came in, WALA...bullseyes once again. Trust me, I was trying my hardest to hit the bullseye while there was no stabilizer, but I guess I had some mental block thing preventing me from concentrating on the shot and follow through.
I vote for the WB, unless you arent confident in it's abilities. Even though it's abilities have been proven time and time again to equal that of different style rests.
Some people are just hard headed.
