Notice.........this post is meant to be tongue-in-cheek so I hope nobody gets offended, although I do somewhat believe this
:
What a bunch of Sallies we have become in regards to arrow rests. First the reemergence of the dropaway rest, the greatest thing to happen to compound bows in the last few years. Who'd imagine that a rest could move out of the way just before fletching passes by resulting in no fletching contact with proper setup. Then the Whisker Bisquit....fixed rest with full containment so our arrows wouldn't fall off if we let down or turned our bows sideways/upside down. Now dropaways with containment virtues also.
Just a short time ago fixed shoot through rests is what we predominately used. Prongs and blades and with proper drawing, practice and
holding the bow rightside up we worried little about the arrow falling off, although it could and probably did to most hunters at least once. I have yet to see ANY dropaway rest that was better as far as accuracy than a good shootthrough rest. Maybe as good but not better.
We are a bunch of Sallies................me too! Though I have been giving thought of late as to putting a shootthrough prong rest back on my hunting bow
Ok, just having fun here but any thoughts?
