WNYBuckHunter Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 It seems to be accurate enough. I highly doubt that anyone can say weather or not a deer cares if there arrow is an inch or two off the point of aim. He offered a drop away rest but as a rookie, I prefer to keep it simple. The WB has less moving parts and, therefore, less chance of failure at the moment of truth. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk I was being a smartass. I use one as well.

WNYBuckHunter Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 WBs are great. I know we've gone pages on the topic. But it's Ford vs. Chevy to me. Switching to a dropaway from a WB myself, I now prefer that. But that's just me. Should someone ask my advice, I'd give them pros and cons, but one should never criticize someone elses choice. But others will. Just look up a few posts, and youll see what I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I agree with Bowtoons in that a whisker biscuit is not as forgiving as a drop-away rest. plenty accurate enough if you have good follow through, especially for hunting. the design is simple but they can freeze up here in NY. The conditions you're in that would cause it to freeze will be obvious though. I hunted with one for a while, back when they first came out from Carolina archery. I'd even practice with it accurately enough out to 100 yards. tough on vanes with a max helical (twist) though. a slight offset, good vanes, and good adhesion won't yield any issues though.

My biggest complaint was what it did to my vanes and it got stuck in the biscuit sometimes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The curving arrows are a draw length issue my friend, but how to measure. HMMMM Well, let me explain .... You WILL NOT suck me into that again. I lost almost 2 days of my life already. LOL As an aside, I would like to challenge you ... the self proclaimed KING of whacking does to a challenge .... biggest doe (by weight) this year wins something. What say you? We have a few swamp donkeys around that I have refrained from shooting because of the drag out in the muck - make it worth my while. Added bonus, you will tick of phade when I have to track and drag out a doe in the areas we are targeting a nice shooter buck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
