B.S.! It happened to me when I first started using one. I'm sure there are enough hunters with more common sense than you give them credit for when it comes to determining what spooked their deer while drawing back.
I'm sure they all think it was the noise.......I'm sure some were.....definately not all.......and no way to know for sure so no sense arguing about it because it's all opinion.


I don't know about others but if I can see their eyes I'm not drawing.
Well, since a deer's eyes are lateral on his skull and I am about 25 feet up I can always see their eyes.........I guess you could wait for every deer to go stand behind a tree but sometimes there just aint a tree where he is walking.

It's got much less to do with being able to see their eyes............and much more to do with knowing where those eyes are looking IMO.



When I used the Goldtip arrows is when it made the most noise. I used string wax and it quieted it up a bit. Then I switched to the Bemans and the problem was gone. The carbon arrows with no finish are alot noisier than your finished carbons.
I have shot camo finished carbon express, easton epics, and even dull ICS Hawks..........don't recall any noise worth remembering. I will shoot some different arrows when it warms up a little and see if I notice a difference.

Turtleshell,

If you wrap athin stripof mole skin over the black bristles only (from front to back) then the fletchings will not touch it as long as you have the cock vane/feather up.

I have heard of this but never needed to do it. Again with the proper size opening my Beman ICS 340 Camo Hunters make less noise than my clothes do when I draw......It's very quiet.

Noisy when drawing? Moleskin on the bristles? Turtle Wax? Vaseline? Torn / wrinkledfletchings? Man this thing seems like more trouble than it's worth! I'll stick with my dropaway thank you.

I added a RAM arrow holder to my drop away to prevent the arrow from falling off the rest. I can turn my bow upside down and the arrow isn't going anywhere. With this combination, I get the best of both worlds - full containment and the speed / quietness of a dropaway.

I won't really knock the WB, because I have never tried it and never will. Think about this.........the WB became popular because of its full arrow containment feature...........and well, thats about it. JMO.

Exactly. And there are alot of options now for full containment besides the whisker biscuit. The solution I showed in the picture cost me 5 bucks and works great.
