What kind of rest should I buy?

It depends on what type of fletching you utilize. I had a WB on two of my bows.....and it warped the vanes pretty badly (ESPECIALLY quick spins). Blazers....not so bad.
I switched to the QAD Ultra (like germ mentioned). I can flip up the rest arm on stand without having to draw the bow. It' s a full containment rest....so I don't lose anything in that capaciy......and I don't have to worry (either with cause or without) about fletching contact.

Neck.. or Jim...
I have found great accuracy with little or NO wear and tear on my fletching while shooting Blazers.
I shoot the WB and have for the past three seasons now and despite some opposing arguments I have been very successful. The WB suits my style of hunting and I admit is not for everyone. I hunt from the ground often when I need too and the WB helps my arrow to stay in position when I am out of position. It 'helped' me take a nice 3 1/2 yr. old this past fall on a stalk.
Hunt with what you have confidence in...

That's a great review. The ONLY reason.....and I've been through the ringer on this one.......I switched from a WB.....is due, really, to the arrows I shoot, I guess. When my Radial X-Weaves (Carbon Force) are drawn across the black bristles.....they make a noise. It's discernable.....by me and ESPECIALLY (hint-hint) by those entities that hear better than I. If I utilized different arrows????? Who knows? I don't. I do know that my son's friend had some arrows that felt "coated" and they made NO noise in the WB.
I just switched because I wasn't willing to switch arrows. Your reasoning makes perfect sense, for you.
BTW.....Happy New Year, teammate, and congrats again on an outstanding year.

Thanks Jeff... Happy New Year to you and yours too.
Especially your wife.
I shoot aluminum still. Every year I think about switching to the carbon. Every year I don't. Their is still little noise when I draw, but it's never been a problem. In fact.. at that point it's too late..
