Just had the Hostage installed on my Guardian yesterday. So far so good. Haven't had much of a chance to really put it through the ringer, though. I do, however, feel better about having no fletching contact. I'm shooting 4" vanes.

I actually think it'll last longer than the WB I had before. It only took me 3 weeks to wear out the bristles in my biscuit and begin to lose accuracy, but since vanes aren't contacting the bristles on the Hostage, I'm thinking it'll be more durable.

You really can't go wrong with either one, though.
