I shoot a WB and have never had issues with it. I didn't have issues - except for fletching being torn off every other shot and accuracy. Small things!! Sounds like operator error to me I've read all the studies - drop away proves more accurate, but only slightly more accurate and speed loss for a WB is only 3-6 fps. So not as much advantage as some drop away guys think at first - but still an advantage. The trend that is most noticeable is a lot of people complaining about fletching coming off - it's not just me - and I didn't really mean every other shot, just trying to get a point across. But here's the issue - torque. Nobody shoots as well in a tree. Nobody has perfect form when buck fever takes over. Hand position / pressure changes, etc. I'm not saying a drop away handles that error perfectly - it doesn't. But they will be way more forgiving with bad form. I'm not a great shot - never have been, never claimed to be. I need all the forgiveness I can get. And there's really no debating the advantage in forgiveness with a drop away. If you shoot Marco vanes or Blazers that are glued properly , they'll stay on going through a biscuit just fine. I'd have to disagree with that. I shot a biscuit for about 7 or 8 years and I shoot a lot. Doesn't matter if it's a factory glue job or my fletching job, they will get torn up eventually. FYI I'm not downing a whisker biscuit, I think they are just fine for hunting. I'd say a few hundred shots before one turns loose is good. I'm fine with that. But if one turns loose after a shot or two, it's the fletching job. Never meant to imply they'd stay glued forever. I had a old one fly off the other day through the QAD. Glue gets old , it turns loose.

Turkey the mentality is that more expensive equals better. Not always true.

Turkey the mentality is that more expensive equals better. Not always true. Yeah - that true for sure. I'm just trying to prove my earlier point. Most stop shooting a WB for a reason. Why would you otherwise.
