Default RE: Some thoughts on the whisker buscuit

ORIGINAL: Len in Maryland

[b]I was tuning a BowTech Black Knight tonight. It had a G2 WB on it and the customer was using vanes. Within 10 shots one of the customer's new vanes was ripped halfway off. I got a second arrow and within 20 shots the vanes were getting rippled. Funny how that just seems to happen to me.

Obviously that is not a normal situation. No one would be using the WB rest if it was that hard on fletchings.

I just find it amusing sometimes that so many people out there can be seeing and experiencing such polar opposite results from the WB.

Those that don't like the rest state that it tears up fletchings like a shredder.......slows bows down noticably.......bounces arrows all over the place and freezes to a brick at 32F........and it's loud as a church bell.

Those that like the rest say it's fine on fletches...B2 especially......speed loss is minimal to none.......very accurate.......never freezes and tough as nails.


I find it very hard to believe the same rest could perform on the very opposite ends of the spectrum from one person to the next.


I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle..............and people's personalities turn it into a Ford vs Chevy kind of thing.
