Cue the crickets........

I don't remember saying (because I didn't) that they did. I don't know where this is coming from.

Didn't ask this, either.

I asked....if the WB is as accurate as any rest on the market....why aren't the top archers in the world (who DEFINE "accuracy" as it relates to archery) using it? Not just one or two guys....but as a large percentage.

Couldn't they be using a WB for hunting?

Atlas and BigJ

Have you guys seen Bowtechs new arrow rest?

What do you guys think?

Bruce:

I'm pretty sure the top archers in the world aren't using a "hunting" rest.

That's why I didn't answer your question.

And since you've amended your post I'll answer.....well....on second thought....no I won't.

You guys keep trying to spin this as I'm saying the rest isn't a great hunting rest. I don't care if it is or isn't........but I've conceded that it is. But the thread was talking about accuracy. I asked the simple question....which no one seems to want to answer.

If the WB is as accurate as any rest.....why aren't the top archers in the world using it on a consistant and high percentage level?

It's got nothing to do with whether it's a good hunting rest...or if it's "better" than a fall away. I couldn't care less about either of those things. One I conceded and the other I don't care to argue about.

What do they use when they hunt?

Don't know....don't care....has nothing to do with the "accuracy" claims.

Ask Matt/PA which of his bows is more "accurate"......and ask him which one he hunts with.

Germ,

Old news Bow Tech didn't invent that rest, they bought out another company (name slips me right now) I purchased one to give it a test....it's ok but now way near a WB. The main problem is if you have more than a 4deg. offset on your vanes/feathers then either the leading edge will contact the vane or if you rotate it so the leading edge doesn't hit then the trailing edge does.

Also, it's made of a plastic polymer, while it seemed to be sturdy, I prefer an all metal rest.

Last and most important, if you bump an arrow on that rest it's going to send it through the bristles and clang against the plastic ring of the rest. They supply mole skin to put on that area for that very reason. Then you will have to re-set it back into position. If you bump an arrow on the WB it will reset itself. My bow is a "mole skin free" zone.

It's not a bad rest and I'm waiting to see what upgrades were done to it before I make a final decision on it...for now nothing touches the WB.

Granted, there are some top competitve shooters using Hoyt, Bowtech, etc, but the large percentage of them still use a Matthews, and according to their advertisements, their shooters still win the overwhelming majority of competitive shoots.

So should we all be shooting Matthews?Same logic is it not

Thx looking at it that is what I thought about bumping it. I wanted some real world views.
