I was just at a local shop a little while ago and asked him if he sells a lot of WB rests. He said not really. It took some pushing, but he finally admited he didn't care for them much either, but he doesn't tell people that if they want one. He said pretty much what we have, they work but he thinks there are better rests.
This mirrors MY shop owner's thoughts, too. When I was in the golf business......I never really got caught up in what the general populus was hitting (clubs). I put more stock in what the PROS were hitting (club professionals, included). I didn't think that Big Bertha woods or irons were neccessarily BETTER irons/woods.......just because they were more popular (in the public eye). I would imagine that top flite balls are the most popular balls on the market, today. Are they the best golf balls? That's up for interpretation. For me, they're not. There's a HUGE price difference between a PROV1 and a top flite. The characteristics of the PROV line better suit my game. It might not be worth it, to some.....and some can't reap the benefits of the ball.
If I watch 20 guys draw their bows.....on the line at a 3D shoot (or just shooting in our indoor range)......I'm likely going to see the majority of them that are, in my eyes, over-bowed. If you can't set your pin on your target and draw it straight back....I can see where full arrow containment might be THE determining factor in which rest you choose. If you're a spot and stalk hunter......ditto. I like the full arrow containment feature of my QAD......but I didn't choose my rest for THAT ability, alone.
Sure....."My" guy likely sells more WB's than drop-aways. HE doesn't utilize one, though. "Most" guys I see at the shoots I attend, don't either.I'm likely a LITTLE more avid than the average bow hunter. I want to know what MY peers are utilizing (the guys who shoot and hunt as much...or MORE...than I do). I could really cae less what is most popular.
Iplayed on our state's Mid-Amateur golf tournament, last year. I din't see many top-flite's utilized (none, really). I saw aLOT of PROV's.
Just a thought......
