Can't say as I've ever had it with onions, but peanut butter and bacon sandwiches are actually pretty good.
Got the idea from Backcountry Bowhunting, Cameron is really onto something with those!

Hey, If you've never had peanut butteron dark rye with a slice of sweet onion, like a vidalia, you really don't know what you're missing! I'm serious try it !

How would everyone like a Peanut-Butter and Onion sandwich and a glass of Grape Kool-Aide? Then we can resume this discussion. After all, it is

Meh, I'm not going to deny it. Jeff really irritated the hell out of me at one point and I happened to mention it in PM.

Like I said before.........all I have said is the truth. I am not the one doing the 180.
What Atlas fails to realize is that I don't live in the past. I do my best not to hold grudges. If you were to ask me what it was that Jeff did or said to piss me off, I really couldn't tell you what it was. Hindsight is 20/20 though and people show their true character over time. The fact that Atlas is so quick to mention something like that really goes to show his character.

And I really don't have a problem with you, Atlas.
I just get sick of all the arguments.
Constantly.

I honestly was not arguing.........and I didn't send the thread off track. I did not mean ANY of the stuff I said to Jeff as an insult. Just an observation of the "type" of guy he is........he is drawn to analytical, detailed stuff and tries to model himself after those he would like to be like.

Can we just agree to disagree and call it good? You didn't mean for things to be taken off track and weren't trying to insult Jeff, understood.

Atlas, if he wasnt overly detailed, and didnt strive to be who he'd like to be, how would he ever better himself at the level and goals he is setting himself at.
Do you want a artist/taxidermist that just gets the job done or one that pays attention to what he's doing and assures you that he does good work and pays attention to the finest details to better his piece?

Back to the topic at hand:Somebody may have mentioned this (I didn't read all 13 pages), so stop me if they did.. But how about a little game of Whisker Biscuit Mythbusters?
Hell, a biscuit only costs a few bucks - so why doesn't somebody (who is 100% impartial)pick one up, mount it on your bow (properly) and shoot it for a few rounds. Keep detailed scoring records.
Maybe see how it stacks up against a prong-style rest and a dropaway.
I kinda like the biscuit (at least the newer ones with the black whiskers at the bottom, and the side-load feature). I got mine as part of my "experimental" setup last summer, and honestlythought I'd hate it.However,its performance has been . . . well . . . shocking. But, if somebody could convince me that it was MEASURABLY less accurate than a dropaway - I'd probably switch.

Atlas - Because you're prone to being argumentative, as is Jeff I suppose. I take it back. Both of your posts can be taken that way. Now can we agree to disagree?
Quick - I thought that was what I was doing here, in a sense.

Do you what and artist/taxidermist that jsut gets the job done or one that pays attention to what he's doing and assures you that he does good work and pays attention to the finest details to better his peice?
I think I would want one that has been doing it for 30 years...........and not a guy who just started and buys everything so their shops look the same.
