RE: WB Tuning advice needed
I do not know if this will be of much help, but I just did some whisker tuning on my high country bow. I was using and older biscuit that has both vertical adjustments and horizontal.
I was doing this to demonstrate how the TURBO NOCK tunes. (which is somewhat different than conventional arrows)
I started by using no set up tools and attempted to tune to a bullet hole by reading just the paper tears.
I did eyeball both horizontal and vertical center and then started shooting at 5 ft.
The first shot had a low left tear. I lowered the rest one click on the biscuit and shot again. The left tear came up closer to horizontal.
I lowered it one more click and the next shot was dead horizontal but still a little left. Here Is where the TURBO differs. At this point you would move the rest toward the tear with a conventional arrow, I moved the rest away from the tear one click and shot a bullet hole. (you can not see the left right adjustments on the photos)
Bottom line It ususally takes only very small adjustments to get the whisker to shoot bulletholes. I am attaching a photo of the tuning I did,
I sketched in the tears because they did not show up well.

RE: WB Tuning advice needed
I couldn't take the frustration anymore. I switched to a NAP 2000 fall away.
Using some advice from BF above.. it took me about 15 minutes to tune in.
(well I hade to have it re-served too after ripping off the nock points.)
Feeling much better now...I really like the drop away and it's MUCH quieter on the draw than the WB.
Anyone want a Biscuit LMK! lol

I am very glad you got yourself situated and happy/confident again.
You have got some big stones...........ripping the rest off your bow 10 days before the season [
]It's funny how different people can see so many different products as good or bad. I really think sometimes it comes down to personal preference rather then product quality.
I myself had a NAP 2000 Drop Away on my Bowtech and it was a complete nightmare!! I was even told directly from Bowtech that the NAP Drop Away will not work properly on my bow due to lack of cable travel. I changed to a WB and have never looked back.
Your experience seems to be just the opposite.
At least we are both happy.
Good Luck
