I think it really depends on your style of hunting. I have shot both, and I like both.. But for spot and stalk style hunting you Can't beat a WB! I know that there are containment style drop aways out there, but they are just not as quite as a WB. I will probably own nothing else ever.

I love my WB. If you are wondering about accuracy. Don't.. I shoot winter league andI consistantly shoot as good or better then guys with fall away rests.

I love my wb i like how you can set it and forget it. my only gripe about it is it is hard on the vanes. i like being able to put the arrow in and lay the bow down on my lap and not have to mess with my arrow when the moment of truth comes.

i use a whisker biscuit right now and i hate it. your arrow doesnt get a proper rotation with it and when i gets cold out it makes noise when you pull an arrow out. im going to get the QAD Ultra Rest next week.

Sounds like a tuning problem to me.

WB I try to remove the chance of equipment failure whenever possible and this is as simple and effective as it gets.

How do you figure that? An arrow doesn't even start to rotate until it's well clear of the bow on any set-up. Watch some slow motion video of bows being shot and you'll see. As far as noise taking the arrow out; why does it even matter? If you're taking the arrow out there shouldn't be anything around to scare off anyway.

I was worried about that since I do a lot of late season goat hunting where I might start at sea level in the rain and climb to 2000' where it's well below freezing. I haven't noticed any problem with the WB that pushing your thumb against it doesn't solve. The big problem is getting ice in the cams and on the sight. Besides, if your WB is freezing, your QAD probably will too.

I have shot Drop aways, and am trying the Hostage Pro right now, after a failure during a hunt.
