GUYS....WB sucks.....I had one...They RIP,WAVE,and aren't worth it....

Frankly, I've always been of the opinion that full contain rests are bandaid solutions to underlying problems.

What I've noticed over the years is the guys who have trouble with their arrows falling off a prong rest don't have the prongs adjusted wide enough. For hunting, they should be adjusted as wide as they can go without contacting the hen vanes. That lets the shaft sit down inside the prongs just enough to keep it in place. When it's adjusted right, you should be able to tilt the bow at least 90 degrees each direction without the arrow coming off the rest.

If you've got them adjusted like that and the arrow still falls off when you draw, then you need to look at your setup to see if the bow is tillered right, on a dual cam bow if your cam timing is synchronized, or if you're getting severe nock pinch from your release.

Fix the problem before replacing the rest. Then, if you do go ahead and replace the rest, you're only doing it for insurance.

You shoudl have very little to zero wear and tear on your fletchings with the WB. If you hear someone complaining of wear and tear on their flettchings and they shoot a WB, its more than likely because they do not have it set up correctly or the the bow is out of tune. I have been using one sice they came out and am still using some of the same arrows I started shooting with the WB and the feathers are fine.

Picked up my muzzy zero effect Friday. Haven't had a chance to put her on yet. The bow shop wanted to do it for me. But I want to, so I know the ins and outs..If I have any issues I will let them fine tune.

I think based on the review in the review section it should be pretty easy with the enclosed CD.
