RE: For all the Whisker Biscuit haters....
How sad that when someone is proven wrong that they have to resort to denial or implications of lying.
What's CLEAR is that you'd never give me the benefit of the doubt on ANYTHING. If my stand creaked, that day, you'd swear itwas me. Ifa limb fell....you'd swear it was something I did.
I made a bad hit on a deer, last Fall....and came into these forums and admitted everything I'd done wrong....and have done so subsequently. I'm nowhere near perfect......but Idid enough things right to be able to salvage a fairly good season.Yet.....you'll sit at your computer.....1,000 miles away and call me a liar.
Rich.

You also thought you aimed correctly at the one you wounded.

I've been saying for over a year how the noise from a WB cost me an attempt on a buck.

I'd find it HIGHLY pompous of me to claim to know what went wrong in a deer hunting scenarioa fellow hunter depicted. I wasn't there. I have to rely on what the only person that was there is telling me.If you told me your quiver squeaked and it spooked a deer......even though I've shota few deer with the same quiver.....andNEVER had an issue......do I call you a liar? Not me.
I really just have a hard time understanding why you can't accept my story of what occurred that day......at 27'.......when others have also stated their issues (same issues) with the same piece of equipment.
That's what our differences all boil down to. That's it.

Now WHERE did THAT come from????
I implied NOTHING of the such.
I've been saying for over a year how the noise from a WB cost me an attempt on a buck. I'm willing to take your word on the vanes as the truth. Why am I not afforded the same coutesy?
ARE you implying that I'm lying?

1.I proved beyond a doubt that you can set up a W/B to shoot 4in vanes without damaging them. (see pics)
2. When you spooked that deer you posted on here that it was the Biscuit and ONLY the Biscuit that could have caused it. I remember replying that I thought it was probably something other than the Biscuit. I also remember saying that I believe (and I still do)you deep down insideare convincedit was the Biscuit...and that's ok.
What I and others tried to tell you was that, in our experience (which is a lot of years in the field) it was probably something else that got that deer attention but you would have nothing of that and dug your heels in the ground and stuck to your story. In essence you gave no mind to a lot of people with many many years of bowhunting. You never ever once said "it's possible I guess but I still think it was the rest" or ANYTHING to that nature. You simply dismissed what we had to say.
The truth is, there is no way to tell what spoked your deer, you have you theory and I have mine.Thefletching are quite another story, I proved that wives tale to be false....again in bows up to about 280fps.
So what I should have been reading was something in the order of:I was wrong about the vane damage, I guess you CAN shoot 4in vanes through a Whisker Biscuit without damaging them.
Instead I get.."good for you on the vanes"
Iknow how I am andI know itwould have been different had the roles been reversed.

What other reason would there be to discount BigJ's photo?
The only thing I have issues with.....is when others interject scenarios into a situation that didn't occur. I think you're a knowledgeable hunter. I've learned from you and MANY others, here.
If you weren't there, though.....you really have no idea of what transpired. It's that simple.
I never said you were lying...........I (and many others) just said you were wrong.

BigJ...
If you took my post as saying you weren't being truthful.....that is NOT how it was intended.I have NO issues with you OR your claims/results......never have. I'm happy for you. I apologize for the misunderstanding.
There are others who have had dissimilar results.....and I don't think they're lying, either.
Again....I have NO reason to doubt you.

Ok instead getting all in a WB debate lets take a step back.
BigJ
Would you say a drop away will "hide" setup problems more on a bow than a WB. Which is why one shows and other does not?
I tried Blazers this year and the flew aweful with a BH. Feathers all was great, I look at the spine chart and I was right in the brink of getting a stiffer arrow. I bought some for a test and the Blazer were great. I think the blazer showed me a setup issue the feathers were "Hidding" because the arrow recovered so fast.
Is this what is happing with some of these guys? The WB is showing there setup problems.

I have not shot both enough to be able to determine that, but if I had to guess, I would say you were correct. I have said all along no matter what type of rest, bow, arrows or anything you shoot, you need to set it properly and make sure all of the components are compatable with each other or you will continue to have problems.
Some worse than others no doubt.

I also admitted (again, in public)....when I played everything back in my mind.....that I likely DIDN'T aim, correctly (newsflash).I never claimed"no fault" when I injured that deer. I readily admitted my mistakes.
