RE: Do whisker biscuts ice up
MThunter: I'm sorry it went as it did as well. All I originally mentioned was the manufacturer's 'No Snow' and it took a different path from that point. Some just won't let it go that there is a slim possibility of a problem. The manufacturer is just covering their a** with the 'No Snow'. There's nothing really wrong with that; but, I just brought it to everyones' attention. If you have any rest and you're not having problems with it, that's great.
I posted negative information about a particular drop-away rest almost 2 years ago. The manufacturer and their pro shooters kept denying the problems. Over the next 6 months to a year they were quietly fixing some of the problems I had noted. It's still not a great product and the manufacturer has since come out with different models.
Another manufacturer at the ATA Trade Show approached me about analyzing their drop-away rest. I showed them a difficiency and they corrected the problem before it hit the market. Good for them.
No product is perfect. I even modified the rest I presently use on my personal bow and requested the manufacturer consider certain changes. Again the manufacturer listened.
Most of the manufacturers will listen to reason. Some on this forum, because of their intimacy with what they've spent their hard-earned money to buy, have a real problem with any criticism about that product. It holds true whether it be a rest, a sight, and especially a bow.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
AKDoug: As you and others saw, I don't mind debatting with anyone. I draw the line, however, when someone starts taking personal shots at me and my store without a thread of evidence to back it up. My customers know me and that is all that really counts; but, some on this and other forums may someday want to deal with me, but innuendos and lies might sway their thinking.
Good hunting.
Others: If you have one and are happy, great. It is my intent to educate the general archery community with my knowledge of products and procedures. I also teach at the ATA Trade Show every year. My seminar is not just a discussion of what I know, but an exchange of ideas from other Dealers is always promoted by me.
