Lookin' around the internet, there are a lot of love it/hate it discussions that have gone on about the WB.
A few people have said that woven shafts are noisy in a biscuit but not other kinds of arrows.
About them making noise on cold days, some say yeah, some say no. Couple of people said to do a light coat of chap stick or armor-all type stuff on the arrow and that solves the problem.
Some say they're noisy all the time. Others say they've shot bucks at 12 yds with a WB and the deer never looked their way.
Some say the WB eats fletching, others say not at all. I bet they do eat feathers, but my Quikspins don't seem bothered.
Couple of guys said WBs are rookie equipment; another guy with 26 yrs of bowhunting experience said the WB was great and only wished he'd discovered it sooner.
Plenty of gripes about drop aways too, from rebound noice, to arrow chatter on draw, to cords catching brush.
Still, I think I'll need the name of a good archery shop near Indianola, just in case I decide to go back to a drop away part-way through the hunt.
