You said yourself that you want to know what the successful people are using........well more animals fall to the WB every year then any other rest................so which is it?
Would you care to share the source for that statistic? I think you're blowing a great deal of smokeup someone's pants leg with that one. LOL

Arthur I was going to stay out of this one but here you go.
Stats From Cabela's from 2002-2004, I am going from memory.
Top Rest sales
1.WB
2.TM Hunter rest
3.TrohyTaker
4.Muzzy Zero Effect.
5.Bow Doodle
WB came on most bows that were soldas packages.
Top return rest
1.WB
2.Zero Effect(people who tried to install it them selfs
I can tell you these are the top two for returns, we did get a lot of the "gimmick" rest back. Pretty much all we sold.
I ran the Bargain Cave for these years and I process all the returns.
WB 1 reason for being return-noise
WB 2 reason for being return-cosmitic
WB 3 reason for being return-tuning issues
Zero Effect - was tuning issue. I myself return Zero effect I fond bows with high BH it was very hard to tune.
I installed over 1000 WB, we also came up with ways to quite them down with moleskin,wax ,etc for customers. I will say the newer models seem to have softer whiskers. I guess WB was listening
Now if WB kills more deer than any other rest, than I would guess it wounds more deer than any other rest. Everyone relax, Atlas made the claim, take the good with the bad.
Who buys the WB, well about half the guys are good hunters who just want to have a simple reliable rest. The other half is an intersting group
I will give you 1 example of many I have. I can even remember night, 28th Sept 2003. I was in Archery helping out. I put a WB on a guys bow. We sighted it in(kind of) on our 7 yd range. He than as for 2 2117 game getters II. I ask only 2, yep he said, one for hunting and one for practice
Most expensive does not = the best, nor does the most popular
Example, The most popular girl in school was not the best
GMMAT can get beat up for his views, he will tell you he does not know. As I recall after his first oops he shot 5 deer. One scored over 100, Hey Atlas your WB ever shoot one that big? Layoff Atlas, Lets end this third grade BS. I thought we all agreed to grow up.
