Don't know....don't care....has nothing to do with the "accuracy" claims.
Ask Matt/PA which of his bows is more "accurate"......and ask him which one he hunts with.
What do they use when they hunt?

RE: WB; not accurate?
Although I think you can make those statistics say anything you want (when it comes to titles and bow mfr's).....your post (claim) has merit. If I were a competitive archer...and I thought Mathews was the cutting edge in target archery ......you darned right I'd shoot one. In any endeavor I take seriously.....I'd like to think I was on an even playing field with my fellow competitiors.
I don't care what the average archer shoots. The claim has been made that the WB is as accurate as any rest on the market. I simply asked......if that's true.....
.....well....you know.
Bruce....when those race drivers ride around town in their WB's.....they're not required to be as accurate as they are on the race course.

Thx looking at it that is what I thought about bumping it. I wanted some real world views.

Like I said, it's a decent rest nothing to write home about though. It's been out for a while but nobody gave it any kind of decent review until Bow Tech bought out the company.......now it's the next best thing since sliced toast.....go figure.
I GAVE mine away on BigJ's Late Night Giveaway.

Well then, using your logic we should all use the rests that competition archers use because we will be more accurate with them when we go hunting .

I feel quite safely in saying the race car driver.....driving around in his favorite street car....knows FULL WELL it isn't as high performance as his Sunday ride.

RE: WB; not accurate?
Has this thread seriously gotten this far off track?
The point was to show that the WB is an accurate rest past 20 yards.
It was not posted saying that it is the most accurate rest on the market.
Jeff, you're absolutely right as I mentioned in PM last night. If it were that accurate, more pros would likely be shooting it.
However, and I feel like a damn broken record here, that is NOT the point of this thread. Yes, it was a spin off from the thread started two nights ago

but I am not talking about competetive shooting or which rest is the most accurate. I'm saying that, although it was claimed that the WB is not accurate past 20 yards, it, in reality, IS.
There is no "for the sake of argument" to be had here. Its very cut and dry.
The hypothesis was that the WB would be accurate past 20 yards. I proved that. No arguments necessary.

I’ve only used the WB, since I’ve only had one hand-me-down bow, and it came with it… and mine is much uglier than the one in the pic. The threads on mine look like twigs compared to those!
I’ve shot bows with the drop away. Sure seemed neat, but it didn’t seem like it would work for still-hunting on the ground. The WB will allow you to move the bow anyway you want and keep the arrow on the rest. But hey, I aint no pro baby… I wonder what the Indians used; thumb?
Hey bigJ,
Let me know when the next late night giveaway is!
