Jeff .......I started but my post just gets long and rambling !
So .......in my case........I say why not :
I hunt out of a lot of lock on's without bow holders and it's nice to be able to lay your bow across your lap.......and it stays ready to go ! I have done a lot of that holding your bow for 5 hours ! [:'(]
When I do get my bow out of my bow holder on my climber.........I don't have to worry about where my arrow is !
The WB is quieter than any of my previous rest ........I think.......due to the lack of moving parts !
I haven't had much fletching wear issues ........and none with the B2 and Bohning fletched as I described above to Len !
Tuning.......well.......this is the first set up I have ever had that will group fixed blades and field points ! I'm sure some of my other set up's could have ........but I didn't know squat about tuning back then . Point is..........I don't think your average Joe is going to be able to tune a drop away , prong style, or WB any different ! What could happen......is he can get a bullet hole at close range with a WB and the bow still not be tuned ! A problem for sure ........but you can't hold that against a rest.............that really is a person's lack of tuning knowledge that is the problem there...........right ??? !!
And my lanky old 30" draw and being able to pull 70+ pounds pretty easy ..........give me a great advantage for speed and KE ! So losing 5 fps is not even an issue for me !
So to sum it up :
I have a tuned bow that I can shoot very accurately, it's quiet , has no fletching issues, keeps my arrow ready at all times, I have tremendous confidence in it, and I'm still shooting 280 with a 450 grain arrow or 299 fps at 5 grains per pound ..........with a hunting rig !! So why should I complain ????
