If you are looking to sit and stalk I will reccomend the WB without hesitation. Your going to want to stay low to the ground during your stalk and your not gonna want to even think about what your arrow is doing. The WB will keep your arrow from ever moving while you steady your next strategically placed foot rest and keep your eyes on the prize.
Stalking a whitetail over earth is like walking on broken glass. It takes specific movements and patience. When I stalk I want to think about how to get from point A to point B. With the WB I never have to think about anything else.
Couldn't agree with you more! However, I will not nock an arrow until I'm prepared to shoot. The possibility of accident aside, I don't want to worry about hitting the arrow against something as I concentrate on the quarry. I developed these procedures during the 30+ years of Trad hunting and before the advent of rests and holders for nocked arrows.I've always figured that thereisn't much sense of carryingan arrowatthe ready until Iget withina solid shooting position.I really like your, "broken glass", analogy.
