I am a novice, I have a lowly PSE typhoon and I use a trophy taker drop away. I kinda wish I had a WB due to the way it holds an arrow at any angle. I have never taken an animal with a bow but I can see that if you had to move around waiting for a shot you might lose the arrow from my drop away. I am elk hunting for the first time this year with a bow. We'll see. EJ
