When you stated earlier "I personally think the hunting equipt is favoring target shooting way to much these days. Perfection is very relative" it irritated me a little until it dawned on me what your point was. And I can agree with it somewhat. My belief is that we owe it to the animals that we hunt to be UTMOST in our skills and abilities to deliver the cleanest and quickest kill shot that we can. To that end I practice to the extent that I have to replace strings every year. It's also why I'm sitting here on my butt instead of out there cracking on a deer from a blind because I didn't get much practice this summer. Sucks when my rules get in my own way! But when my kids were growing up I always made them get out there and practice at MINIMUM 2 times a week all year long with a minimum of 100 arrows per practice. I've never been one to propose the old "do as I say not as I do" thing to my kids. I missed about 9 weeks of practice and still have a little difficulty drawing even 65# so me no git to smackum deer this year But back to the point, my equipment is top tear for a reason. Not for bragging rights or any type of advertising. I test LOTS and LOTS of archery products throughout the year to make absolutely sure that when that opportunity presents itself, I can lay the smackdown on a deer with no worries about anything. Precision equipment and diligent practice make that possible. Putting a piece of junk on my bow that I have absolutely NO confidence in it's longevity and precise accuracy makes no sense. It seems many more people are actually starting to wake up to the poor design of the WB. Granted yes it serves a purpose but there are so many other ways to eliminate the arrow falling off the rest without hindering accuracy it's just too hard for me to figure out why anyone would use one.
