Default RE: What's all the hoopla bout fall aways?

I agree with Arthur, I have used a few of the drop aways. While they work and I kind of like them they are not magic or anything. They help with fletch contact issues and that is about it. I really can't see any big advantage other than that. Everything else is just theories or guesses, nothing you can really prove. I don't shoot any better with a drop away then I do a prong rest, and a good prong rest is simpler in my opinion. I think the biggest problem is most don't have the prong rests set up correctly to begin with.

I don't care much for the WB either. I have a few friends that have them and asked me to help set them up. They work and are great for stalking I guess, but I don't care for them myself. I would pick a Muzzy drop away or something before the WB. Just a personal thing though.

For target shooting I wouldn't mess with either, I would go for a quality prong rest with a blade or a bodoodle.
