Default RE: Tuning issue

CBM SC:

"The WB forces the arrow to temporarily come off clean and give a perfect hole."

I have previously read that claim. If the "WB" rest were capable of doing such, I would tend to believe that it could only occur if the problem with the exit of the shaft is minor. However, I am wondering to what degree can the rest possibly increase a flight problem when the shaft's exit problem is not minor.

One thing I know for sure, it would be beneficial to any person using a "WB" to know what tuning or design aspect put those shafts in that flight-attitude so the user can be damn sure that they avoid the cause. When I visualize a winged broadhead on a shaft that that has planed/deviated as indicated, I shudder to think that someone might be using the rest while shooting in their backyard in a populated area.

Reminds me of the time my release fired too soon and I sent a fieldpoint mounted shaft 2 blocks away, into a residential street. Scared the hell out me and I no longer shoot in the area I used to.
