Thanks for the info..

Buckmaster ..I did't know that..

About the Whisker rest...I think alot of shooting messes up the fletching anyway..I had to redo 5 arrows this year already..mostly from hitting them into each other when shooting..It seems neat at the time but a real hassle to refletch

I shoot Blazer vanes through my W.B. and have NEVER had one tear off.

I have shot them off, but not lost one due to the W.B.

ANd I believe the Blazers to be perfect for the W.B.

Most shops will reccommend blazers with the WB simply because there is less contact between fletching and rest.
And yes i do shoot it with 2" quikspin speed hunters. I have had no problems with losing fletching.

Love my WB and have never had a problem with fletching. It's a Chevy vs Ford debate in my opinion. Each is a good truck. Some guys like one over the other. The pros for me is my arrow never falls off the rest and less moving parts and things to go wrong. I stalk some and move through heavy brush with an arrow knocked so I prefer the WB.

I'm sure that is a decent bow, probably one of the lower end models but it should work. I implore you to not get a bow off from ebay though unless you know a lot about bows and setting them up. Do yourself a favor and get one from a pro shop that can help get you set up and make sure everything is measured right. Having a bow that fits you is way more important than the brand of bow or how much you paid for it.

I'm not a big fan of the WB either, but they do work for what they designed for.

Yes sir..I plan to do that..The lady said her husband was out of town and could not set up the bow..therefore I plan to go to a bow shop..I'd rather see how it feels anyway.

Thanks

Sounds like you got the bug Chuck7. Kinda like Bass fishin ain't it........ but in the end alot more work.
Both are good products. I used the WB for yrs and liked it. The bow I have no knowledge of but know a few guys that shoot them. They like them.
