There are advantages and disadvantages to both. I personally prefer the simplicity of the WB for my hunting bows. When I'm in the field I don't want another possible failure point in an already overly complex system. The WB is there and working every shot without fail, nock the arrow set it in the rest and forget about it. And face it, you're not (or most shouldn't be) shooting past 40 yards anyway. I haven't noticed a bit of difference in accuracy or performance at ranges out to 50 yards. Beyond that I have to give the nod (and only by a very slight improvement) to the drop away. My target bows either have an old spring launcher or a drop away. Of the drop aways I think the QAD HD is my favorite to date but I hear good things about the Limb Driver.
