Ghem....I hear ya....and agree.

What people don't probably know is I own 4 bows. I have the WB on three of them (the Illusion my son hunts with....the old PSE and the old Jennings). It's a WONDERFUL rest.....and I know people have great success with it.

On the surface Atlas....I agree that ALL rests make noise. It was just a LOT easier to stealthenize (dang right that's a word....or it is, now) my drop-away with a little bit of moleskin.

Hey.....I think the rest you use is a great invention. It's just not for me. I have my reasons. Just becasue someone doesn't think they're valid......doesn't bother me. Some people think the ballMickelson uses is a P.O.S.. They can't figure out why he doesn'tlike"their" brand.Go figure.

Atlas:

I, too, use Blazers. I use them BECAUSE I tried Quickspins (and was still utilizing the biscuit). It IS a good thing you don't like QS's. lol......

Well my arrow is not dragged accross my riser shelf. I use the Ultra Rest(Up position)for that exact reason. This baby is silent to the deer standing 5 yds away or right underneath my tree. I guess whenI use the term silent to the deer standing at least 5 yds away or underneath my tree.

If you stick your ear right next to it, you may hear some noise, but it is unlikley. I spend many hours on this each year. I used the TM hunter, my heat shrink had a hole in it. Pulled back and watch 140'' 8 run away. I was 16 not to bright, now I really focus on the noise my bow makes.

Did you buy a new bow yet?, go shoot a Ross they are one smooth bow.

Exactly people thing I am nuts whenI tell them deer look for hunters in the treesv here. I believe it is part of there natural instinct these days to look in trees.

Your arrow doesn't make any noise being dragged through and over that plastic fork? What about if yu turned your bow and it hit the top bar?? That looks like it would "click" around in there if the bow was tilted or tipped. If you already said you put felt on it I must have missed it.

Nope........I'm in no hurry. Have to find an Equalizer to shoot first.


Without a doubt........so much so that when all the leaves fall I feel like the deck is really stacked against me around here and I won't even hunt in a bunch of trees that I would consider "money" spots in early fall.

Late season with little to no leaves around here puts an absolute premium on seeing the deer early and planning your moves accordingly. When I see these guys on TV see a deer and turn around and grab their bow off the tree and then use their binocs or range finders as he approaches I just laugh...........if I moved half that much the deer wouldn't stop running until he hit the next area code. I LOVE my WB for that exact reason.......I set my bow on it's side across the rail of my Goliath and if something walks up I can grab my bow and get ready without ever having to take my eyes off the deer.

My ultra is felted up to the extreme, and I do not plan to tip my my bow upside down. I pretty much stand the whole time in the stand. I use the realtree bow hooks. Puts by bow right next to me. Just reach over grab and shoot.They all work!!!

Check out CABELAS catologs, 90% of the bows they sell in their advertisements are equipped with WHISKER BISCUITS on them.

My thoughts on the WB is this.I installed one on my bow a while back and shot it for about 2 months of hard shooting so i feel like i gave it a fair try but it just wasn't for me. I found the WB to be extremely quite on the draw and on the shot with my Goldtips. A couple feathers on my arrows got ripped off to begin with but then i started putting a little dab of goatuff glue on the leading edge of the fletching and it didn't happenanymore. The very edge of the feathers showed some wear but it didn't seem to affect the flight of the arrow in anyway.
Now for the accuracy. I found the WB to be just as accurate as any of the other rest i've used out to about 40yds and i say this because thats about my limit when i shoot. Let me add that i'ma deer hunter and hunt strickly from treestands. I shot the WB with very good accuracy on the ground with both field points and broadheads. My problemstarted once i gotelevated in a treestand. I would have several arrows to hit the bulleye but just could not get away from an occasional flyer. I know i don't have perfect form and i have no doubt that the flyers were coming from my form/grip not being consistent. IMO the WB with it's total capture isn't as forgiving as some of the other rest out there and if there are any flaws in your form/grip it will bring them out or at least i feel that was the case with me.I loved the WB and it's design with it's arrow capture and simplicity and i tried to talk myself into keeping it and hunting with it but accuracy means everything to me and i just wasn't 100% confident with the occasional flyer i kept getting while using it. I've went back to aGKF premier that i converted to a fallaway andi don't get those flyers and thats the main reason i say it was me and not the WB. I think the WB is an excellent hunting rest no doubt about that but i personallyalso think it's not for everyone. Confidence is everything when shooting a bow, gun or even a slingshot as far as that goes and i just didn't have it 100% with the WB. Don't take this post the wrong way because i am in no way bashing the WB. Heck,i may even buy another one some day and give it another try. Again this is just my opinion based on my experience with the WB, and we know what they say about opinions.
