Are drop aways needed? No, think about all the animals taken with a bow prior to the invention of drop aways including your own. I've never used a drop away until this years bows. I'm really impressed with them and I think they add a lot to the possibilities for hunting. Like was mentioned above, no fletch clearance problems and you can go as big or as extreme helicaled/offsets as you like to obtain the best arrow flight for fixed blade heads or mechanicals alike. I've always love the Bodoodle line especially the PRO and PRO Lite seires but seeing they were "out of business"/"bought out" and obtaining one was going to be a problem, I decided to go with my first drop away. I chose the new Trophy Taker Pronghorn and so far, I'm very impressed.

I've never used a WB because I have reservations about them. Being brought up on the theory that the least fletch arrow/fletch contact the better the WB throws that out the window by having constant arrow/fletch contact until the arrow leaves the bow just doesn't cut well with me. I understand the concept of equal contact which will guide the arrow out of the bow however, I just have some reservations. Many have used the WB with great success however.
