no noises. im a yea. the only vane damage i have is from putting my groups too close together. with my biscuit, i got my first robin hood the other nite after having my bow for a week. my previoius bow, a PSE Nova, had a flipper style rest on it and that thing sucked. i had an arrow come off the rest last year at full draw, i had to back down and redraw. with the WB, you never have to worry about the arrow falling off. no moving parts to freeze up. downrange penatration is increased because of something to do with the FOC. you loose a couple FPS, but i would take accuracy and silence over speed any day.I shoot the drop tine biscuit with the B2. i would recommened it
