RE: newb with a few ?'s before buying first bow please help
Martin makes a great bow and they have great customer service as well. You really should shoot a few bows before deciding on which bow is "right" for you. Coming on here and asking for suggestions is a great way to get an idea of which bow to try, but we all have different likes and dislikes and each bow is going to feel different to each of us.
As far as WB vs. a Drop Away rest goes, I really prefer a drop away. Trophy Taker makes some really nice rests, I also really like the QAD Ultra. The Ultra is a great drop away, which also protects the arrow from falling off the rest just as good as a WB, which is important for a beginner.
Everything else on the package looks great and I would say the price is pretty decent as well. As stated before, Martin makes a great bow with pretty good speed and shootability and has outstanding customer support.
Good luck and have fun!
