i use the wb. it seems to be fine for me.

RE: hunting rest
 

i just got a wb droptine and it works great i cant tell the difference in arrow speed at all

RE: hunting rest
 

I shot a WB this year and agree they can be a bit noisey. Im switching to a Ripcord Arrow Rest. It is almost identical to the QAD

RE: hunting rest
 

This is a VERY subjective statement. My wife thinks the sun in Riviera MAya isn't too hot in August. To me....it's SCORCHING.

With the WB and X-weaves.....it's subjective as to the noise level YOU'RE willing to accept.

The rest of my choice for hunting right now would be the limb driver by vaportrail .

I USE THE WB MYSELF AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH NOISE OR NOTICE ANY REDUCTION IN SPEED THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

RE: hunting rest
 

I've used the WB for years and almost all of my hunting partners use it as well. We shoot all year long in my yard and we shoot all kinds of different arrows. Noise is not a factor with the rest as far as I am concerned. I have personally chronoed my bow with and without the WB and the speed difference was 1-2 fps..........again, a non factor as far as I am concerned.

It's the most popular hunting rest in the world for a reason.

Here are some more thoughts on the WB

RE: hunting rest
 

To me, one of the most important factors for hunting is good arrow flight. Good arrow flight means more accuracy and no lost energy which will rob precious inches in penetration. The only way I can see to have the most consistent arrow flight from shot to shot is to minimize the contact on the arrow from shot to shot. This means a drop away rest. Right now, I use the Trophy Ridge Drop Zone, but I am seriously looking at the QAD lock down series because they stay up when you let down, they are full containment, and the do not rebound on the shot. This is ideal for consistency and good arrow flight. The WB goes against all of the principles I follow for getting good arrow flight. It not only contacts the arrow through the shot, but contacts the fletching to, which I consider to be a big no-no.

With that being said, there are a lot of deer that fall to arrows shot through the WB every year, so it can't be that bad. For me, I like the drop aways though.

I use a Muzzy Zero Effect.
