I have used both the Rip Cord and the WB. Unfortunately, the cord on my Rip Cordbroke during a 3-D Tournament and even though I had a backup bow, I was not very happy. I use a launcher style or fall away for 3-D but strictly WB for hunting. Also, I shoot Blazer Vanes and after many shots, I notice no significant wear on either the bisquit or the vanes. However, since you have already purchased the Rip Cord, inspect it often especially prior to a hunt, and I think you will be happy with its performance.
