Also, just back up and see when the arrow is correcting itself....there are times when people get caught up in a perfect hole at point blank range....shoot it at 5 yards and back and see what's happening. Consistancy is the key more so than a perfect hole...keep tinkering, there is a reason your overlooking and without participating I'm not sure what you have or haven't tried over what you wrote.

Check your cam timing.

I have found that horrible paper tears that don't seem to be effected by rest position are more than often caused by cams that are slightly out of time.

I have a ProTec that had a tail left tear (left handed bow) regardless of what you did to the rest. 4 twists in the cable and the tear turned into a bullet hole.

It really does not take much to get things out of whack.

Get a diferant rest , TT shaky hunter , or the new muzzy made for your bow , or any other rest . The WB can be tricky on some setups

Had the same problem with my old pse thunderbolt. The rod that holds the lower cam on was bent. Don't know if this will help but good luck.

Is my tribute a lemon?
Of course it is!

No, your bow should be great. I do agree with ijimmy:

I would try another rest, maybe a good quality drop away like the QAD Ultra-Rest...especially if you want to retain a total enclosue feature like the WB.

If other shooters get the same results with your bow then I would try a different rest and see what it does. I guess also the obvious things like factory specs, ATA, brace, tiller, cam timing all need to be right but I'm sure you knew that. Hey you may have got a dud from the factory with a bad string or cam or something. It took 6 shots for my equalizer and WB to produce perfect bullets.

Man, I have seen experienced bowhunters struggle with the WB before. And some get it right quickly.

What do you have going on there some kind of left handers only group.:DYou say you've tried everything, maybe you have and maybe you haven't. There's a lot you can do to narrow things down not listed (no need too).How far away have you tried shooting through paper? Have you tried different tuning methods? Don't care for WB's myself. Maybe there's something stickyon some hairs.

Try? A crank board may show you if somethingis wrong with the bow. Check the specs.
