I am new to bow hunting and bought a used bow with a reglar rest that came with the bow. I really had a hard time keeping the arrow on the rest. So I figured I would try to use a Whisker B. and it was love at frist try I have had no probs since... As for the alumnum shafts being loud. It is quieter than my other rest is just as quiet as carbons shot through it.

All is good in my humble opinion.
