For me, and I know I'll get hammered for this, but I would go to a drop away, like a QAD and get rid of the WB. Still full contain, but no contact. Otherwise I think your set up is fine, unless you are looking for a whole new rig. Have fun at the shop!

Three important questions that need answering first:

What are you looking to improve?

What do you expect the results to be?

How big of a budget do you have?

well i mainly want just a good setup that will get the job done but rite now my bow is out of wack....the arrows are all over a 10 inch circle and i have no expierence to tune it so im goin to the shop so they could do it...anyone know whats the average cost for retuning a bow?...well right now im on a tight budget..i got to get all my stands ready..roofs and things like that,trail camera,feed,mineral licks but i forgot about my bow.....well i think the only thing i would change would be my rest to a drop away of some kind but i think they are all like a hundred dollars rite....but to this mite be my last year with this bow and then i mite sell it so im taking that into consideration also....but im willing to push 150 [hopefully less]into it to get it shooting really good..

I would stick with the whisker biscuit. The advantages of the drop-away are very small and highly debatable. Your money would be much better spent on an extra stand ora rangefinder.

I'd be looking at something from T.R.U Ball or Scott to replace the generic no-name release you're using now. You'd be very surprised to see the difference in your shot to shot consistency that it can make. Good luck and good shootin'

I would find a new release. Scott makes some excellent releases.

Then I would junk that WB and purchase a drop away. Zero contact = greater consistancy/accuracy.

Get the new release. The Little Goose or Little Bitty Goose are both fine releases and are in the $50-55 price range.

Since you seem to be planning to get another bow next year, just get that one tuned up and shooting right. Don't fiddle around with changing out accessories. Hang onto the money you don't spend and use it to upgrade to better quality arrows to go with your next bow.
