TFOX, I have read and understand what you have stated. It makes sense to me. However, how can one explain the WB and how unforgiving it is then? It's the same concept is it not? I used to shoot one then went to the ultra rest timed to fall within the first inch or so of release. My groups improved instantly. I suppose I was torquing my bow at times to some extent but over all my groups improved even with that in mind. Not trying to argue here, simply trying to put all of this together considering I have different drop away rests.
Derek, I like your #3 theory and believe it is correct for many shooters.

It has contact after the arrow is released from the string and that contact is fletching contact but my issue with the wb is the bristles are too stiff.It causes arrow kick when fletching passes through them.IMO,a rest should be soft and not restrict the arrows movement(just offer guidance,the Limb Driver is superior in this area).A wb,restricts this natural flow but like Drock stated,as a hunting rest,it is more than adequate but for me,I am way to anal about how I tune to ever put a WB on my bow.
I have taken a WB and set it up to where the tune should be real close with Blazers.There was a bad high tear in paper(regardless of how the cock vane was turned).Changed fletching to feathers and the high tear was gone.[&:]
