You cannot obtain better arrow flight by switching to another rest.
Not true!
Ture , to some extent , the WB is not inhertantly of poorer design than any other rest , accuracy wise , and has some great advantages for bowhunters .
6. Speed of arrow
Shafts fired from many of the fast shooting (high stored energy) bows are ultra-sensitive to forces being put upon the shaft by normal physics, by the shooter, and by certain gear.
Regardless that many choose to deny it, there is a point where the speed of an arrow has many downsides. To compensate for the "downside," full blown helical fletching/vanes is usually required to stabilize the arrow. Additionally, mechanical broadheads are almost a necessity to further compensate.
Lastly, many shooter have found that regardless of how well the bow is tuned or how good their shooting form is, they have to use a "fall away" rest to obtain the best arrow flight.
So! If the bow is well tuned and a person's shooting form is "Olympic," but he or she just cannot get the best and consistently good arrow flight when using a particular rest, should the shooter change everything to meet the requirements of the rest, or try a different rest?
I disagree with this allso , It is posable to have a fast " forgiving" setup useing fixed heads , useing a WB rest , Speed is realy not a detriment to accuracy with a fixed head , thats a wives tale . You can have great flight/accuracy from a fast arrow or a slow arrow , in turn you can have horable flight for a fast or slow arrow allso .
