I have tried the Rip-cord and the QAD ultra rests. I prefer the QAD. I like being able to let the bow down without the arrow falling to the shelf. I have hunted with the WB in the past, and it has hard to argue against it as a functional simply design. Simple is good when it works!! The QAD is quieter than the Rip-cord IMO. Haven't tried any other drop-aways.
