RE: WB; not accurate?
 

It seems you missed the point. Car racers don't drive around town in their race cars but I am sure they drive a car they like. Just like competition archers may not hunt with their competition gear but they may use hunting gear that they like, such as a WB. Then we would be comparing apples to apples. To say that, since a competition archer doesn't use a WB (a hunting rest) in competition archery because it isn't good enough, is comparing apples to oranges.

RE: WB; not accurate?
 

Although I think you can make those statistics say anything you want (when it comes to titles and bow mfr's).....your post (claim) has merit. If I were a competitive archer...and I thought Mathews was the cutting edge in target archery ......you darned right I'd shoot one. In any endeavor I take seriously.....I'd like to think I was on an even playing field with my fellow competitiors.

I don't care what the average archer shoots. The claim has been made that the WB is as accurate as any rest on the market. I simply asked......if that's true.....

.....well....you know.

Bruce....when those race drivers ride around town in their WB's.....they're not required to be as accurate as they are on the race course.

RE: WB; not accurate?
 

I use the WB.....[8D]

I just close my eyes when I shoot..... and become the arrow...;)

RE: WB; not accurate?
 

Well then, using your logic we should all use the rests that competition archers use because we will be more accurate with them when we go hunting ;).

RE: WB; not accurate?
 

is it accurate?....[:-]

RE: WB; not accurate?
 

Yeah Kyle... the WB's accurate.

But its soo loud... luckily the deer I hunt are deaf..[8D]

Germ,

Like I said, it's a decent rest nothing to write home about though. It's been out for a while but nobody gave it any kind of decent review until Bow Tech bought out the company.......now it's the next best thing since sliced toast.....go figure.:eek:

I GAVE mine away on BigJ's Late Night Giveaway.:D

RE: WB; not accurate?
 

See there you go throwing in hunting, again.....

I feel quite safely in saying the race car driver.....driving around in his favorite street car....knows FULL WELL it isn't as high performance as his Sunday ride.;)

RE: WB; not accurate?
 

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

RE: WB; not accurate?
 

Now that’s funny…

I’ve only used the WB, since I’ve only had one hand-me-down bow, and it came with it… and mine is much uglier than the one in the pic. The threads on mine look like twigs compared to those!

I’ve shot bows with the drop away. Sure seemed neat, but it didn’t seem like it would work for still-hunting on the ground. The WB will allow you to move the bow anyway you want and keep the arrow on the rest. But hey, I aint no pro baby… I wonder what the Indians used; thumb?

Hey bigJ,
Let me know when the next late night giveaway is!
