Myself, as a spot shooter, i just cant see where the wb, would not hender the flight of the arrow. For one, theres no way that it doesnt affect speed. #2 any contact with the fletchings after the arrow has left the string, just simply cannot be a good thing. Now, i have never shot one but theyre are alot of people who do. That only leads me to beleive that there are alot of people out there who are not shooting to their potential. Why would anybody pay $700 for a bow and turn right around and pay $40 - $50 for something that is going to keep that bow from doin what you paid for it to do. In my opinion you may as well take that money pit and use it for a walkin stick. I visited an out of town bow shop last week and watched a guy buy a switchbak for 669. Had the tec put a wb on it. I asked the tec if it hurt the flight of the arrow, and all he said was "Hey thats what he wants me to put on it, so thats what hes gettin". Talk about sidesteppin'. I do stress the fact that i have never shot a wb, but if i wanted to, instead of buying one i believe id just shoot through a brush pile. Just some plain ol wes by god virginia logic.
