This has been covered a million times, but I guess one more won't hurt. With most rests, contact with a fletch is a bad thing. It's usually on one fletch, in one spot. It throws the arrow off. With the WB, contact is a good thing. It is on all fletches and is evenly spread. In fact, it prevents uneven contact. Uneven contact is all but impossible with a WB. This is a good thing, a very good thing.

The range that I frequent has mostly WB shooters. I'll bet 80-90% are using it and I'm one. This includes a lot of very experienced hunters who always get many big game animals. None of them have problems with fletching coming off or being rippled. None have trouble tuning them or their bows that contain them. None have trouble with noise or freezing bisquits or any of the other problems one hears about so frequently on these forums. The reason - the shop owner knows his stuff and sets them and the arrows up properly.

There is no way in the world that tens of thousands of hunters can be having no complaints if the rest had inherent problems. Those having trouble simply don't know how to properly set one up, or how to properly fletch an arrow so they work with one. I have no problem with anyone who prefers a different rest, but to suggest that the WB is going to automatically cause trouble, is wrong.
