RE: Some thoughts on the whisker buscuit
CBM SC:
This is a case where I was brought a new bow with a B2 WB and a new set of arrows. Situations like this happen all the time in my shop because we have so many mass merchants within 10 miles of my shop. I said 10 shots but it could have been 8 - I wasn't counting that close.
Many of you, reading all the negatives about this rest, have learned to deal with them and do corrective action. The same can be said of the MZE and many other rests on the market. I do things to the MZE and other rests that prevent certain mishaps, and have advised some of the manufacturers. In fact, I was on the phone with Muzzy just yesterday telling them about some of my "fixes". The Muzzy teflon slide, for instance, is the result of my efforts.
There are many who don't visit these forums and therefore don't have the knowledge that some here have about the subject. Since the customer wants the arrows refletched with feathers anyway, I figured I'd at least get the basic tune started since my arrow department won't get to the arrows for a couple of days. What happened was real in both the fletching ripping and then a flight problem with the other arrow. In fact, 3 of the customer's 6 arrows wouldn't even spin properly, so I marked the bad ones for him and used the better ones.
It was an incident that was real and could be commonplace for many who don't have your knowledge. It is fact and not a concoction, as is sometimes insinuated by the likes of misguiding people like Atlasman, who takes distortion of statements to a new level.
I have finished tuning the bow and will check the results again once the arrows are refletched. The customer will be happy with his choice of products and that is all that counts. As I do many times a day, I take a bad situation and make it workable/enjoyable. Satisfied customers is good business, no matter what their equipment choice may be.
