Default RE: dropaway or WB

The great debate wears on us always..

Rednecksteve, go ahead and try both the rests out. See which one suits your own needs better.. than buy it.

I have never tried a drop-away but know of them very well. They're a great rest. I love the fact that you can eliminate as much as 4" from your arrow so you could gain speed and shoot a flatter trajectory. Simply put.. that's awesome.

But I have shot the WB for the last 3 seasons now. At times I have even thought of switching to a drop-away. Honestly, AT TIMES, I did have a little inconsistency in arrow flight (not much but a little). Before this last season started I tried the Blazer vane. WOW.. what a differance that it has made. I now have not had but 1 arrow (and I shoot often) shoot off inconsistently because of the WB. (me on the other hand, that's another story).

I like to keep things simple when deer hunting-NO working parts on my bow. I hunt from both the ground and the tree. I don't even want to think about my arrow (and I don't) when I am out in the woods hunting. The WB is not for everyone. It's not a miracle rest, it won't help you shoot better. But on a properly tuned bow with the right arrow, Blazer vanes, and a hankering to kill deer.. the WB can be deadly.

If it were not for the WB, I don't believe I would have successfully made the stalk I did Nov. 11th this past year-PERIOD.
