MichiganHunter Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I just got a new bow and i put one on there and i can hold a 3inch circle at 30 yards and a 5 inch circle at 40 so i will never ever again use any other arrow rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you just ruined a good rest! JMO! Bohning Killer vanes, Bohning Blazers vanes, and AAE SpeedFlyte vanes never wrinkled in my WB rest! All you needed to do was switch to another type of vane and your set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michihunter Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 If rippled vanes is what you consider damaged there's an easy fix. Steam from boiling water can get em right back to where they began originally. I personally would think taking out whiskers from the insert could be detrimental UNLESS you can take out equal amounts all the way around.

Switchback29A1 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 It takes a TON of shooting for my Easton's to start showing wear from the WB. I also always take a little dab of glue and put it right on the tip of the fletching...never had one fly off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisherfd2 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Well, I just put one on my bow about a week and a half ago. Only problem I'm seeing is that my groups are getting tighter and I'm shooting vains off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guideman Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I ha a whisker bisquit last year for 3 weeks and then it was off and sold. I only feel that this was an exception not the rule as the whiskers warped in my rest. Groups were inconsistant, yet, once I switched to the Trophy Ridge drop away....... Shaving the vanes off the arrows. No further changes to my bow. Just the rest. I believe in the wb rest, I just believe that I had an anomaly. Many of my friends shoot with the whisker bisket and man do they perform. I just don't have the personal time, to be trying multiple set ups. Brass tacks......just based on personal feelings and many different set ups until we each get the set up that is best suited to our own personal needs. In the end, we are all out to achieve the same end results. 22 days till Missouri Archery Deer season opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogg6 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Have had no major problems with my WB and I love it. The only change I am going to make to my set up is switching to Blazers. My groups have gotten better since putting the WB on 1 1/2 yrs ago and once I put the arrow in the rest, I know it's not coming off until I remove it or shoot it.
