redkneck Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Just curious about your experience. I like my WB, it is a great hunting rest, but sometimes (like today when I spooked a doe at ten steps drawing) I want something quieter. It is about as quiet as most I've shot, but I haven't shot a lot of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Interesting ,, I've never heard any noise from my WB Deluxe ... I've really been wanting to try the Code Red Rest out, I've heard nothing but great things about this rest .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well, Luke, just to qualify this, I'm not saying my WB is loud, not at all, but I've never shot a release that didn't make some level of noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I shoot a WB now...fairly quiet. I shot a NAP quicktune 1000 before that, pretty quiet. I think no matter what, there is always some amount of noise on the draw. Been considering when I get my new bow whether to try an ultra rest drop away or stick to my WB...nothing can go wrong with the WB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Honestly my QAD Ultra Rest with the felt like shelf liner cut out is super quiet. I actually changed to this rest from a Zero Effect because of the noise it would occasionally make when an arrow bounced a little. I have shot WB rests before and even though I personally do not like them I did find a couple things to quiet them down. The first thing was if it was cold out was to rotate the arrow around so it would move the bristles around and break up any ice or snow buildup. I also wrapped the rest brackets in shelf liner to deaden the sound. The best thing that helped that rest be quieter was serving the bowstring so the nocks were firm on the string. I'm not sure why that helped so much but it did so I'm passing it on. I think it had something to do with keeping vibration down to a minimum. I'm not sure I just kept trying stuff until it worked or it noticeably cost me in speed or accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Honestly my QAD Ultra Rest with the felt like shelf liner cut out is super quiet. I have the same rest and I agree it is super quiet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have the same rest and I agree it is super quiet! Me too! The felt on the launcher and the shelf work well to really quiet the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropTine49 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I went from the WB back to the old superdoodle because of the noise made by the WB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Honestly my QAD Ultra Rest with the felt like shelf liner cut out is super quiet. I have the same rest and I agree it is super quiet! I also have a Ultra Rest but I ran into a problem when I switched bows. When I shot my Mathews it was whisper quiet. But when I switched to my Turbohawk the rest would hit the riser when it dropped. I put some rubber below it but its not as quiet as it used to be.

dbHunterNY Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Honestly my QAD Ultra Rest with the felt like shelf liner cut out is super quiet.... Yup. This is what I found to be the most quiet at draw. However, I think at the shot a biscuit does help with vibration and noise. My QS biscuit was pretty quiet though, while drawing.

Ravin R10 man Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Wax your arrows, and apply a little petrolem jelly to your rest..even my whisker buiscut got some..I now shoot n,a,p, drop away... when you hunt late season..everthing gets amplified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackBlaster Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I shoot the QAD Ultra Rest also, it is extremely quiet as long as the felt is on the rest . I used to shoot the whisker bisc. and one of the main reasons I switched was when it had any ice build up it sounded like a violin when I drew back, still loved it though. Those would be the rests I would recommend to anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I've shot several different rests over the years, but the WB has been the quietest, especially in a tree stand, not having to worry about the arrow slipping out and banging on something...

okiedog Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I have drop aways on all of my bows, and they all have some sort of felt on them. The WB had to be one of the loudest rest I have heard drawing, short of drawing a alum. arrow off a bare TM hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildthing Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I have only used a Whisker Biscuit and would never switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
