B.S.! It happened to me when I first started using one. I'm sure there are enough hunters with more common sense than you give them credit for when it comes to determining what spooked their deer while drawing back.

I don't know about others but if I can see their eyes I'm not drawing.
It's got much less to do with being able to see their eyes............and much more to do with knowing where those eyes are looking IMO.
When I used the Goldtip arrows is when it made the most noise. I used string wax and it quieted it up a bit. Then I switched to the Bemans and the problem was gone. The carbon arrows with no finish are alot noisier than your finished carbons.

Turtleshell,
If you wrap athin stripof mole skin over the black bristles only (from front to back) then the fletchings will not touch it as long as you have the cock vane/feather up.
I have heard of this but never needed to do it. Again with the proper size opening my Beman ICS 340 Camo Hunters make less noise than my clothes do when I draw......It's very quiet.

Noisy when drawing? Moleskin on the bristles? Turtle Wax? Vaseline? Torn / wrinkledfletchings? Man this thing seems like more trouble than it's worth! I'll stick with my dropaway thank you.
I added a RAM arrow holder to my drop away to prevent the arrow from falling off the rest. I can turn my bow upside down and the arrow isn't going anywhere. With this combination, I get the best of both worlds - full containment and the speed / quietness of a dropaway.

I won't really knock the WB, because I have never tried it and never will. Think about this.........the WB became popular because of its full arrow containment feature...........and well, thats about it. JMO.
