I think it was a 4000 actually.........aren't the RG for Mathews bows only?

That thing was such a piece of junk I doubt I would ever consider a NAP rest again. It had multiple problems. Glad you like the one you have.

I see your confused on which Nap rest you have delt with. Would you like me to order you one that I know would work well for you? I like to help a fellow hunter all I can when he is pondering upgrading his equipment. Are you still going to buy the Bowtech? I need to know what I am dealing with here.

Absolutely no noise with a Trophy Taker. When the bow is actually shot the launcherarm is lowered by the buss cable and this allows a no noise release. Moleskin on the launcher is pretty simple. No noise; period. NONE!!!! HCHP.S. Did I mention that the Trophy Taker is absolutely quiet?

I am not syaing you are a liar............I just think you are wrong. There is absolutely NO way you can know for sure what spooked that deer. You have fixated on a perceived sound as the scapegoat. Having heard that "sound" thousands of times myself and been personally involved in the killing of 15 deer in the last 3 years all by WB's (6 first hand) I tend to think it was something else. Not a liar........just mistaken.



Not trying to insult you...........I'm trying to help other people. This year will be my 20th in the woods so I have seen eaten more then my fair share of humble pie as well. My lab is the king of dumbaxxes so if he ever gives me that look I am in trouble

I think you are sending out a bad message to people that read what you type on these boards. I'm sorry, but you have to be aware that young impressionable first timers are reading when you write that a WB made noise and cost you a buck and you were so upset you ripped off your rig THAT DAY!! That is not a mild critique..........that is pretty harsh........and strong enough words to scare off someone who was considering that rest.

Once again........it has nothing to do with like or dislike. I don't care if you LOVE the WB or you HATE it. I care only about the truth. I don't push WB's on anyone. I don't start threads saying how great it is and everyone should buy one. If someone asks I tell them the truth.......in my experience it is a GREAT hunting rest and I recommend it highly. I will pop in and correct misinformation when I see it though.......because I believe it does a diservice to those that are not well informed on their own and may be taking those words as the truth. No different then if someone posted a thread saying you should jump down from your stand and run after a deer you just shot..........EVERYONE would freak out and make sure no one mistakenly followed that poor advice..........why??? Because it is not true. Same thing. That is why I post on carbon clothing threads when I see a poor young kid about to plunk down his hard earned cash on something he believes will do all the magical things he sees in the ads on TV. Maybe he never had a chemistry class..........or doesn't even know what carbon is or how it works. I don't like seeing people lead astray by misinformation.



So you traded one "loud" rest for another.........one you chose to modify, and one you didn't. I (and everyone I know) have thousands of shots through our WB and never had to modify them at all.



Thanks.............and the same for you and your son of course.


Why do they call that thing a "Shakey" hunter?? Doesn't exactly stir up the confidence with that label

What am I talking about??..........You gotta be pretty careful when searching for "Whisker biscuits" on the internet

atlasman

I am?




After seeing how poorly the last one I had was made I don't know if that is possible.


I'm not.............and from what I have seen it would be a down grade.



Not if I don't find someone willing to let me shoot an Equalizer first.

atlasman

What were all those USER reviews about then?? They all universally put noise as a factor in their write up. If there is no noise why would they do that?




All those USER reviews are lying then?



Too bad you have to modify your rest to make it quiet enough to hunt with..........I wouldn't want to have to worry about my point of impact changing if the moleskin gets wet or freezes or gets snagged on a twig and pulls loose.............combine all that with a bunch of moving parts and no arrow containment................YUK.



Yea, I read that.................then I read about 100 reviews that said it isn't.

Hi Atlasman,
I use the WB myself and am not looking to change that.
I was new to bowhunting last year. The WB was my first rest. The day i brought the bow home a friend and I were trying it out. He is an experienced bowhunter so I asked him to help me learn to usemy bow.

After the first few shots he said to me that he could hear the arrow dragging against the WB. Granted he was only maybe 8-10 feet from me. I also heard it but wasn't sure if it was something a new WB did and would eventually go away. It never did.

We were doing this in my yard in an area that has some pouplation and he could here it from 8 feet. SBGobblers was only 9 yards from his deer. If my friend could hear the noise from 8 feet in a neighborhood it is possible that the deer could hear it from 27 in the quiet woods.

Now, that being said. I also read on hear last year that others were having noise issues with Camo shafts. I swithed to the black shafts and the noise level has been reduced tremendously. Is there still a slight noise? sure but I can barely hear it.

Now that there is no noise I think the rest is great and wouldnt switch to another. I can tell you though with certainty that there was a noise with my first set of arrows that was loud enough for me and my hunting friendto be concerned about a deer hearing it.

That's ALL I've EVER said there was, Danny/Atlas.

That's ALL.

Thanks.

Atlas and I must have magical Whisker Biscuits because neither of ours:

1. damage our fletchings,
2. Slow our arrows down more that 1-2fps,
3. make enough noise to be even slightly worried about even the closest of shots.

And all of that with NO additional materials needed.....just put it on the bow and ADJUST IT CORRECTLY.

Never have to worry about it or adjust it or worry about something breaking...nothing. If fact, it's become the most consistant and reliable part on my bow!

SBGobblers,

Don't take this the wrong way but I too think you are mistaken, While you may have been hunting for 30 years, I believe last year was your first bow hunting for deer. After a few more years with a bow in your hand you will realize that perhaps it could have been something else that spooked that deer.

I also think that you are projecting the wrong message to new bow hunters about the Whisker Biscuit rest. There is no way you could have known for sure what spooked that deer....no way.
