I have watched this thread for awhile and been sitting on my hands trying to stay out of it
but I have to do it.
Folks talk about accuracy and rest , that is a bunch of bs.
I can take a bow put it in a machine and shoot one shot groups all day long with just about any rest from a rug on the shelf,drop aways ,flippers, I can do the same thing with a cloths pen tapped to a bow ,same arrow same bow will go in the same hole at 20 yards.
A out of tune bow , one with the fletch hitting the cables ,same results.The reason we try to take care of all the things is to have a more forgiving set up.
Rocky says he is good enough to shoot a biscuit, you ever shoot a 300 with one ? I am sure some folks can but I have never seen it done because we arnt machines and we need a rest that works with us not against us ,yea a forgiving rest,
You see folks on here say they can shoot a 3 inch group at twenty yards , go shoot an indoor round the bull is three inches,see if you can hold that for 60 arrows, folks say
a tight group isnt necessary to hunt ,well why do you sweat field points hitting off an inch ,that should be good enough to hunt with.
I personally dont like a wb because of noise, fletching wear,and the built in unforgiveness of the rest. I dislike the Drop aways because they are to complicated , timing , cords, etc
These are the only rest that came up in this discussion and there are a bunch out there I would pick over these two.
Wheeeeeeeeee end of rant.
