Bottom line - the speed loss is insignificant for hunting. If you don't want to use it for hunting, pick a different excuse.
How about the fact that they are loud. Pulling the arrow through them is way to loud in my opinion. That, coupled with the speed loss and the bulkiness is the reason I chose to get rid of mine. I believe that if a person would go to a dropaway they would never think about using a WB again.
