That's funny. I was wondering if he was the trespasser on the four wheeler.

black stick idk who that trespasser waas

Black Stick

I thought you staged that because it was timed so well.

Alpha Capo

well..ill say one thing.

i bought my bow used(03' or 04' Martin Prowler se)three years ago with the Whisker buiscuit on it...and i havent had to touch/tinker withthe thing one time....i check and make sure everything is tight from time to time and thats it....slap her on the bow and forget about it....They are perfectly accurate for hunting ranges,(on my good days i can shoot 3 arrows at 30 yards and all the shafts will be touching or very close to touching eachother fairly regularly)dont let anyone feed you any b.s about them not being accurate....

they are bullet proof...and bullet proof is exactly whats neededin a huntingsetup.

also i use feathers for fletching.... wisker Buiscuits love feather fletching
(it will tatter the edge of the feather a bit but it doesnt hurt anything....i put my own arrows together to save cost- i shoot aluminums still)...
wisker buiscuitstend to wrinkle plastic vanes....
as long as Feathers are available ill never shoot plastic the rest of my life.

if you want to switch to a Drop away thats cool.... do your thing....but i wouldnt necesarrily call it an upgrade like some have said.

Black Stick

I agree that they are accurate if you are a statue, but most of us are not. A machine can shoot a perfect 30x on Vegas targets with a Black Mamba X1 just as easily as with a black ice. It doesn't matter if you put a drop away or WB on that thing will shoot it the same every time. It's more about form. Drop aways just make it easier for the average shooter that moves a little bit where as the WB will show every bit of it.

I am absolutely shocked that you are shooting feathers through a WB. I tried it for the heck of it because someone told me that the WB would rip them right off. Ten shots later, that arrow had nothing left but glue. I shoot feather because they are lighter than vanes, but would never seriously put them though a WB.

IMO, a drop away is an upgrade because I shoot better scores with it than with a WB.

Alpha Capo

False...that they dont work

i get hundred(s) of shots out of my fletches....i use double sided tape and glue the ends....they work fine...and iuse a pretty good offset with a helical.if i dont take my time while fletching i tend not to do so good of a job and will get an end or two on the feathers that pull up...when i do a good job they last all year.

my guess is something went wrong in the way you fletched.

Black Stick

A helical too. Wow, you are just pushing the limit.

Alpha Capo

[8D] it takes practice and patience to be good at fletching feathers....seriously.

ive learned a few tricks on my own...and can say that i do a pretty good job with it.... when i started i wasnt that good at it....and can understand why you might get a feather too peel up premature.

Black Stick

You must if they last in a WB. I'm impressed.
