I shoot target with the same bow that i hunt with. just makes sense to me. i had a bisket and switched over to the QAD and my average went up. so i stuck with the drop away rest.

I've had both. I started with a cheap dropaway on my first bow. I then switched to the WB. I hunted with it for a couple of years. Last month I had trouble with my bow. It wouldn't hold a group. I took it to my local pro shop. They said my whisker was bent. I couldn't tell from looking at it. I had them put a QAD ultra rest on it. I am back to touching shafts at 20 yards again.[ something I was never able to do consistently with my whisker biscut.] They are both good choices for different reasons. I plan to stay with the fall aways. I just think they are more accurate. WB are good for their simplicity and quietness. Though a good fall away can be just as quiet. It is all according to what you like. By the way the QAD Ultra Rest seels for around 50 - 60 bucks around here. NOt 100

NAP Smartrest dropaway rest for me I like that it does not bounce back up after it falls.

I love a whisker biscuit for keeping my arrow in the rest no matter how I turn my bow but for shooting accurately and consistently I love my G5 expert II. I have the G5 on my bow for hunting and target, it's quieter and doesn't reduce my arrow speed.

I'm a drop away fan. I shoot a drop zone, but there are many great drop aways on the market. Just Sunday someone was talking about how they like their WB, but he said that it eats fletchings up. I don't know if that's prevalent with the WB, but I'd rather not find out first hand.

I had a WB and switched to a QAD Ultra Pro HD this summer and I am shooting more accuratly now that I switched. Both are good rests, just depends on what you want.
