atlas:

You need to stick to discussing "fishless aquariums". You would be on more solid ground.

Until then, tell about how the "WB" specifically compares with other conventional rests, beyond arrow containment and that you can hit the zone at 60 yards using the rest. Such information would be more productive than your courtroom style rebuttals of personal issues. Is that possible?

Still waiting for some examples of this behavior I exhibit in "most" of my posts.

You mean to tell me that I am constantly giving out incorrect advice to people on this board and you can't come up with one example??


Hell..........I already gave one example of you not knowing what you were talking about when you insisted that a buck was spooked by your soft grunts from over a mile away...........you wanted everyone to marvel at the majesty and super powers of the mighty whitetail.

It took all of about 2 posts before someone "informed" you it was most likely a predator or something else that caught the bucks attention that you couldn't or didn't see and while we all know that mature bucks are much more "aware" and definately more crafty they are not bionic super freaks that can hear a mouse fart in the next county.


See how easy that was??.........and I never even said you are so inexperienced that most of what you post is wrong. Should be a piece of cake for you to pop off at least a dozen examples of me right??


We'll see

Look guys, if I were a Moderator I would now shut this thread down since it's more of a arguement versus a discussion regarding the WB rests on the market today and the article that started this off. You are all entitled to your opinions so let's keep it at that.

Atlas, as I mentioned I have a new WB and it shoots great. Better than the other rest I had before. Is it better than a Drop Away, maybe and maybe not, but anyway, for the money, it is half the price of a Drop Away and I'm very happy with it and can't wait to get a buck with my bow this year, using this rest.

C903, well what can I say. I have read all of your arugements and I agree that full containement can slightly slow down an arrow. As far as penatration of a deer, people kill deer with WB's every year so I don't believe that the drop is significant to cause a problem. Is this a bad or useless rest, no, many people use it and are happy with it. You may not like it so that does not mean your opinion or experience is better than someone else's, just different. It may damage a vane, so what, they can be replaced.

Pro's and Con's have been discussed, so let's move onto something more meaning full.

Thanks,

Tom

WHERE`S THE THREAD ABOUT THE W/B?

Mathews and the WB, seems like any time someone posts anything about them being a good product a bunch of people jump on and say that they are crap, or something similar.

IMO, most of these people have never used the product, and they are too weak-minded or afraid of change to admit that these are both great products, but maybe they aren't great for every person or situation.

I love my WB, it is much better hunting rest than the two other rests that I have used. If you don't like it, don't buy it and shut up already.

I have a serious question about the Whisker Biscuit.

Does it work (or is it advisable) to use a W/B designed for aluminum shafts if you're going to shoot carbons? I don't even know that W/B makes two different sizes, but someone told me they did, and that if you just bought the bigger-holed aluminum W/B, it would create fewer problems for the carbons. (less fps loss, less vane wear, etc.)

Does that make any sense? Sorry if that's already been addressed earlier. I thought I read this whole thread, but I had to break it down by chapters.

my wife has a whisker biscuit, and while i don't get as much use out of it as i did the first couple of years, i still like it. i have found that if i use it too much in a limited amount of time it scratches up my shaft.

From my understanding, you want some clearance between the biscuit hole and the shaft. Too tight causes problems, but I suspect too loose could as well, but I have no experience to back up my suspicions.

C J,

The WB I recently purchased is for aluminums and the hole is bigger than that of Carbons, which as you know are smaller shafts. You could possibly shoot a carbon out of an aluminum precut WB but I don't know about the accuracy. I could try it for you the next time I shoot my bow since I do have a few carbons and let you know. I wouldn't go from a carbon WB to an aluminum, but that is my opinion.

The WB shoots better with a loose fit ! A lot of guys shoot carbons out of aluminum WB's !! You really don't want your arrow to be fitting too tight !!
