[QUOTE="jon.henry755, post: 719290, member: 29115"] Hi Twanger, Glad to see you have your thinking cap on and the wheels are turning as usual. All well made points and to a large degree fairly accurate, but since a Whisker Biscuit is designed to be shot through, it probably doesn't make that big a difference on that rest. My information was directed to the other two arrow rests that replaced the Whisker Biscuit. I was referring to the QAD Ultra HDX Drop Away Rest and most importantly Dorge's new three finger "Aerorest". One could argue that in the case of the QAD HDX Ultra Drop Away Rest that it shouldn't make any difference because the QAD will drop completely out of the way and therefore not be in the way of any vane rotations. In theory, this is a true statement. Where the problem comes in is as soon as we leave theory behind and only focus on reality. Reality needs to proven in actual execution and not on paper or on the drawing boards. Until it's been tested and re-tested in actual shooting situations, I can't prove that theory and reality are one in the same. On Dorge's new Aerorest we have three support fingers placed one below the shaft and two above the shaft. This doesn't leave much room for a margin of error. Anything slightly out of alignment could cause vane contact between one of the vanes and any of the rest fingers. It doesn't take more than 1/2 degree of rotation to possibly create a problem, so again, this must be tested and proven in the real world as opposed to on paper or in theory. When these new vanes are working, they are over 30% less affected by crosswind than a standard arrow. This is huge!!! With the new design of the vane they achieve almost 300% more rotation than a standard arrow. This is an archers dream and carries a significant number of major benefits. Now all we need to do is prove that it can be successfully used on arrows with this crossbow. I'm not here to say it will or it won't work. I'm just raising the flag to say that it's not a simple or straight forward as most people think and I can't solve this issue by using simple applied logic. I applaud you for your sound reasoning and logic because it's far ahead of what most people would figure out and as i stated, in theory it makes sense. We just need to now move beyond theory and actually verify what is fact or fiction. Regards, Jon [/QUOTE]
