RE: WB; not accurate?
ORIGINAL: GMMAT They don't use drop aways either. You have given this reason specifically in the past as part of why you switched to a drop away..........yet you question the effectiveness of a WB by comparing it to top level target shooters. The same logic applies to your drop away. |
RE: WB; not accurate?
ORIGINAL: Washington Hunter Has this thread seriously gotten this far off track? The point was to show that the WB is an accurate rest past 20 yards. It was not posted saying that it is the most accurate rest on the market. Jeff, you're absolutely right as I mentioned in PM last night. If it were that accurate, more pros would likely be shooting it. However, and I feel like a damn broken record here, that is NOT the point of this thread. Yes, it was a spin off from the thread started two nights ago [align=left]but I am not talking about competetive shooting or which rest is the most accurate. I'm saying that, although it was claimed that the WB is not accurate past 20 yards, it, in reality, IS.[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]There is no "for the sake of argument" to be had here. Its very cut and dry.[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]The hypothesis was that the WB would be accurate past 20 yards. I proved that. No arguments necessary.[/align][align=right][/align] I can’t believe you’d say that the WB is the most accurate! Have you tried them all? Huh? Man, you sound like a broken record… Just playing man! |

RE: WB; not accurate?
ORIGINAL: Germ Atlas and BigJ Have you guys seen Bowtechs new arrow rest? What do you guys think? As has already been said..........it is not a new rest. Funny how some guys are coincidentally high on this rest all the sudden  My arrow fits loosely in my WB........not much but enough that the same loose fit would cause me to lose containment on the Hostage..........I set my bow on it's side across my shooting rail when I hunt and the last thing I want is the arrow banging around when I lift up my bow. NAP has the same Idea...........but losing containment defeats the purpose IMO. |

RE: WB; not accurate?
ORIGINAL: GMMAT My drop away is an example of a level of "mediocrisy" I'm able to live with in a hunting situation. Just like your hunting bow......my hunting bow.....and everything else (archery related) I hunt with. In Bruce's example.....it's what the race car drier is accepting when he gets in his family car. No, it's not.............I am not "accepting" mediocrity in my hunting rig because somebody else can drill X's in Vegas with a spring steel rest. They are 2 TOTALLY different worlds..........what is "best" for one is not "best" for the other (not to mention 99.9% of it is the person anyways). Using target gear in the woods would be stupid and an inferior choice..........even if it would serve you better at an indoor target shoot. Yes. the same logic applies to my drop away. |
RE: WB; not accurate?
You have said many times that you want to shoot what the "best" are shooting and used that as a reason for going to a drop away. Your logic in this thread contradicts what you have stood by in the past. For my hunting rig....I look to the people I trust (fellow hunters that I trust) and I listen to their pros and cons on why they shoot what they do (on their hunting rigs). That's where I start looking. Luckily for me....I found a good one early on.....after a not so satisfying experience with another rest. I don't care what anyone thinks of my choices. Why do you? And why would you care about mine? |
RE: WB; not accurate?
Jeff,
I for one hate hearing about your annual bows, arrows, climbers, drop aways, stabilizers, rests, 3D targets, scent blocker and all the other crap you buy! Because I’m jealous… |
RE: WB; not accurate?
I didn't read all the replies, but I will say what I always say when this comes up. I am not a big fan of the WB rests, however they are no less accurate than any other rest that is set up properly. You can realistically shoot perfectly well with a correctly set up flipper rest. And there are some very impressive records that have been set to prove this.
The only advantage most rests give you from one design or model to another is either ease of use or set up. Most rests work perfectly fine when set right, the problem is some are harder to get that way. Same thing goes for sights. Those fancy micro adjustable Spott Hog or whatever sights are not any more accurate than my 30 dollar generic three pin fiber optic sights are. They are just easier to fiddle with is all. Paul |
RE: WB; not accurate?
Killer....I started with NOTHING. I've only had 2 bows....2 climbers (mine and my son's)....1 drop away.....2 stabilizers....1 3D target.....and 1 scent blocker jacket!
We got guys doing that every year! Seriously...I've just had to get a bunch of stuff in a short time. If you inventoried me v. some of these guys in here......lol....well....I've heard 40 stands mentioned in here, before. Add THAT up! |
RE: WB; not accurate?
ORIGINAL: GMMAT No. No it doesn't. The best archers in the world (target) shoot a certain type rest. For my target rig....I'm really interested in learning more about what they're shooting.....and I'll likely go with something along those lines (actually....just ordered one). For my hunting rig....I look to the people I trust (fellow hunters that I trust) and I listen to their pros and cons on why they shoot what they do (on their hunting rigs). That's where I start looking. Luckily for me....I found a good one early on.....after a not so satisfying experience with another rest. I don't care what anyone thinks of my choices. |

Atlas, I have to admit, you're taking some of your comments to a place where they don't need to go.
Who's business is it but Jeff's as to why he chooses to shoot what he chooses to shoot? You don't need to throw your opinion of him or his decision making process out there for everybody, no matter how necessary you see it. Its getting old pretty quick. |

I used to shoot a drop away for a long time and switched toa WB and my shot groups got a lot tighter after puting it on. I wont shoot with anything else.

200 years ago, were the native Americans setting around their campfire, after a big hunt, discussing the pro's and con's of "their archery" equipment?
I beleive any one piece of equipmentcan beas accurate as another, you the shooterare responsible for that. Great post Wash. |

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 sickening anyway.

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. I'm cool with Jeff now and I'm assuming (hoping) he's cool with me, too. I'd be willing to let him hunt here any day. |
