Don't misunderstand,the video was only to reference how the arrow kicks up,that is what I have found happens on the newer models.
This one shows how an arrow drops and then rebounds back up when a drop awayfalls.

Agreed,that is why I say the prong rest and spring steel(not for hunting)rest give more much needed guidance to the arrow but the arrow does not get kicked in the video like in the wb one.

IMO,the fallaway is a better choice over a wb but that is mine and if it isn't yours and it works well for you,fine.

I haven't seen any arrows flex up and down when shot........all side to side (well mostly anyways) You could very well be right........it's hard to tell.

Check this one out.

I don'tthink you could prove that about any piece of equipment with a person shooting it.......especially over a short time..........way too subjective.
If this statement is true.......what have we learned with this experiment?

Did you know that if you go on a all day hunt sitting in a blind or on a stalk you should take peanut butter sandwiches for luchbecause the peanut butter won't go bad in the heat. Again thanks washington for the test showing us that the WB is accurate out to and passed 20yrds.

The very high amount of side to side flex in most of these videos come from finger releases. That one in your link is a also a longbow (proabaly off the shelf) which would have the most side to side flex of all.

It'd be interesting to dulicate an overhead shot with the same arrow and bow setup out of the WB

No matter what these videos are just cool to watch

So I've been shooting with the WB the last few days and I have to say I'm fairly impressed. My groups are consistant and have shrunk slightly from what they were in the pictures. The only negative feedback I have so far is that they're tearing the hell out of my wraps. The whiskers are scratching the color off of them pretty badly. The rest is performing as it should though.

just thinking to myself...if a WB does cause the arrow to "bounce" more then other rests...wouldn't this be seen at further distances....no i don't mean 40 yard cause WH showed us otherwise...but like 60 or 70?? just wondering??

WH u got a 50 or 60 yard pin to test that one out??

I do, but I don't have the distance here at home.

I'll have to wait until I can get out to our property before I can test it out that far.
