All rests have negatives. Depending on what's important to you, it's pretty easy to dislike a rest that another thinks is gold. For instance, I wouldn't even try a MZE rest. The first time I picked one up, I knew I would never even put it on my bow. For me, it's simply too heavy, with too many moving parts, to use as a hunting rest (I use no other kind). I have little experience with the MZE, but everytime I've heard someone shooting one, it seemed too loud for me to consider it as a hunting rest. In fact, I've yet to see a drop-away that I'd consider for hunting, yet I see plenty of hunters using them. Certain features are more important to some than others.

The local shop that I frequent, is owned by a hard-core hunter who loves the WB. He recommends them, so naturally lots of his customers shoot them (probably 90%). I shoot with these guys in summer 3-D leagues and winter indoor leagues and have yet to see one of these guys unhappy with his WB. If it didn't work well for hunting or they couldn't hit what they were aiming at, I doubt they'd be very happy with it. It is my opinion that the WB offers some advantages over the MZE that make it more suitable for hunting puposes. The fact that there are some who don't see it this way, is okay with me. I'm most concerned with what's on my bow and what I prefer. Add in the shear volume of hunters who prefer to shoot the WB and that have good results, and you have a rest that is undoubtably a good one.
