Default FOB???

What is everyones take on FOB's, just curious as to how many are using them, and for those who are what do you like about them, and what do you dislike about them...and also what drop away are you using when you are shooting FOB's.

I just ordered three tubes of FOBs. Gonna get some things done to my bow and try them out.

I'll be using either a QAD or the trophy taker i have on my desk.

check these two links out. Lots of info on the messageboard about rest setup and testimonials.

Ill let you know what i think when i actually get to use them.

http://www.fob-nation.com/

You can also go to archerytalk.com/vb and search for "fobs" You'll get lots of info. People that use them tend to fall in love and people the have never used them tend to bash them. You know the drill..............

the guys at fob-nation say that once you shoot them, it's all over. The only people that don't stay wih them ore the ones that either have to change there knock point or don't want to fool with making sure everything is clearing the FOB.

cruise around the FOB forum you'll learn alot about FOBs. Some of the videos are pretty amazing also.

I have been playing with them for a lil while now.
This year will be the first I go with them for hunting....
Very impressed so far and my Rage2 heads and fieldpoints are dailed in on my New Breed Genetix bow now.
