Then.....

Can I put you down for a WB...or a fall-away?


Neither..........I have no desire to participate in this vile judgement of other members.

I respect everyone's opinion.........apparently you have elevated yourself in one whole year to being above the "masses" and only associate yourself with the best of the best now.

Congrats.........have fun with that.

Whisker Biscut for deer hunting. Shot a coyote this past season directly under my stand, couldn't have done it except with a WB.

In reality.....

I respect everyone's opinion.........apparently you have elevated yourself in one whole year to being above the "masses" and only associate yourself with the best of the best now.
We ALL do this EACH AND EVERY TIME we seek advice from someone. When I need to know how a concrete mix design performs in marginal placement temps.....I go to the guys in my indstry that have experience with the subject matter at hand. I don't poll the other managers I work with andtake a "just use 4,000 and let 'er rip".

If everyone were honest with themselves.....they'd see that this is what EVERYONE seeking advice or technical insight does.

Do I respect everyone's OPINION? YES! Why wouldn't I? I din't buy the rest I bought, based on what everyone else said about it. I went to somone I trust (my shop owner) andtold him what i needed in a rest. Mine's not the most popular by a long shot with the masses. Does that make the most popular rest abad one? Nope. Does that make the opinions of those who use it worthless? Not by far.

Davidmil has killed 84 deer with his bow.Am I interested in what HE utilizes....and why? Yep. Same could be said for Rob/PA...germ.....ATLAS.......thekidd.....Buckeye....H CH....Moho....Greg/MO..... EVERYONE(and the list goes ON and ON).Rybo just told me he's taken (I think +/-30 whitetails) and has never wounded an animal he didn't recover nor has heMISSED! You think I don't want to know what makes HIM successful? I DO! Does the type of rest he utilizes make him that successful? I'd say not (there's so much more).....but it's a fact I'm curious of.

WHY is this hard to understand? I NEVER claimed to be among the elite in bowhunting. Never. I'd be a FOOL to not seek out their expertise, though. Wouldn't I?

"I" am of the class of hunters that will be learning from others, FOREVER, likely. I'm not pitting anyone against another. I'm asking EVERYONE.

Neither..........I have no desire to participate in this vile judgement of other members.
Fine! Then don't go away, mad. Just go away!

So, why is everyone going with one or the other? I have used the old two metal prong type rest (I don't even know what it is called) for 20 years. Am I really the only one using something like this anymore on a compound? I use it because I don't like the idea of all the moving parts of a fall-away and I don't like the idea of my arrow vanes having to pass through something like on the WB. Plus I always figure if it aint broke don't fix it.

And there's nothing wrong with that answer, either. Thanks!

Agreed Huntingson - more deer have fallen to the TM-style double-pronged springy rests than the WB's and the Dropaways combined.

I have some kind of ancient two-pronger called a bodoodle or something. They're all the same, just different colors, different camos, different shaped prongs.
