I disagree..........I think it's setup is very easy. I am FAR from a bow tuning guru and I have no problems.







Looks like a cool rest..........but MAN that is a ton of moving parts and twice the price.

I'm sure it works just fine but I see it as an attempt to fix a problem that doesn't exist (quoting someone from earlier).

One of my favorite rests, and what I put on my girlfriends target bow.

I had a similar rest like in your picture, but it was made by SME. Decent rest as far as design went, I liked it. It had some durablility issues though, I stripped a few screws out while adjusting it. I will be honest though, I set it up three or four times on different bows before it happened. And the one I had had a linkage system simular to the Muzzy Zero Effect.

From what I understand the new company that has it did a good job of fixing the few problems I had with it. I loved that arrow holder.

I was just at a local shop a little while ago and asked him if he sells a lot of WB rests. He said not really. It took some pushing, but he finally admited he didn't care for them much either, but he doesn't tell people that if they want one. He said pretty much what we have, they work but he thinks there are better rests.

The same person designed both.The sme version was when he worked for sme and didn't like the way he or the rest was being changed from his original design so he went out on his own.


The newer rest incorporate some much better engineering and are easier to tune.

I have the first rest he made after going out on his own.I have 1 hole that got stripped because of alot of different sessions of group tuning from different setups.(there is a second hole that takes care of it)That model does not have micro adjust but he now makes a model that does have it.I might have to have that one.



Atlas,the tuning is the part of the setup that gets overlooked and the WB isn't very easy to TUNE.Setup is easy but what rest isn't easy to set up.Yes,the rest I posted is more expensive but for a reason.The moving parts are not an issue.


Walk back and group tuning with a Wb isn't nearly as easy as it is with other rest.I like being able to group tune and go back to paper and have a good paper tear.I am not talking about paper tuning.

GMMAT and Atlasman....PMS? Wow, you guys are insane!

The rest in the picture has problems with it's small screws in the arrow containment area becoming loose and falling out. THEY ARE TINY AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND! TRUST ME.

Well actually they are ignoring each other

Good to know,looks like a little lock tite would be a good investment.

Dosnt Chuck also use Scent Lok?

Mullaney's an old man. Probably shakes so much he has to have a full containment rest to keep from bouncing his arrow off the rest when he draws. [8D]

I have to admit, a big part of my aversion to the whisker biskit is the way so many guys seem tothink they HAVE to have a full containment rest.Let them blab about it long enough and italways winds up sounding like one of those late night, half-hour scam infomercials . "NOW how much would you pay? BUT WAIT....!"

LOL

I don't think it's something you HAVE to have...........it definitely doesn't hurt though.

In my case (laying my bow on it's side) in my stand it actually is something I rely on.

This mirrors MY shop owner's thoughts, too. When I was in the golf business......I never really got caught up in what the general populus was hitting (clubs). I put more stock in what the PROS were hitting (club professionals, included). I didn't think that Big Bertha woods or irons were neccessarily BETTER irons/woods.......just because they were more popular (in the public eye). I would imagine that top flite balls are the most popular balls on the market, today. Are they the best golf balls? That's up for interpretation. For me, they're not. There's a HUGE price difference between a PROV1 and a top flite. The characteristics of the PROV line better suit my game. It might not be worth it, to some.....and some can't reap the benefits of the ball.

If I watch 20 guys draw their bows.....on the line at a 3D shoot (or just shooting in our indoor range)......I'm likely going to see the majority of them that are, in my eyes, over-bowed. If you can't set your pin on your target and draw it straight back....I can see where full arrow containment might be THE determining factor in which rest you choose. If you're a spot and stalk hunter......ditto. I like the full arrow containment feature of my QAD......but I didn't choose my rest for THAT ability, alone.

Sure....."My" guy likely sells more WB's than drop-aways. HE doesn't utilize one, though. "Most" guys I see at the shoots I attend, don't either.I'm likely a LITTLE more avid than the average bow hunter. I want to know what MY peers are utilizing (the guys who shoot and hunt as much...or MORE...than I do). I could really cae less what is most popular.

Iplayed on our state's Mid-Amateur golf tournament, last year. I din't see many top-flite's utilized (none, really). I saw aLOT of PROV's.

Just a thought......
