The WB is the only rest I will ever use.  I don't target practice much and I don't compete in shoots.  If I did I might think differently.  I hunt.  That's all I do with my bow.  I crawl through the nastiest reprod, stickers, brush, stumps, etc that you can think of.  Half the time I am nocked and crawlin after elk in that stuff.  My bow barely makes it out alive and there is no way that a drop away with complicated strings, springs, etc. would make it.  My arrows are always ready and I can even keep one nocked while going through that crap.  For me it's the only thing on my bow that I can count on to work and not get ripped off by sticker bushes etc.

Now, if you do a lot of 3d shoots or hunt open country have at it.  For my style of hunting I gotta have a WB.  I don't buy the accuracy thing too much as I can shoot within a pie plate out to about 80 yards.  That's accurate enough for me.

I'll have to pass on judgeing the trucks( I have both a ford and a Dodge). I have Trophy takers on both of my bows and all of my friends have them as well. The whisker bisqet seems to have some interesting ideas but I just like the Trophy takers better. ;)

I'll stick with my Spott hog sights. With the wraps they are brighter than they were with my sight lite on. And they are legal to hunt with. I've seen your question about tritium pins but I don't know if they make one. You should look thru a wrapped sight, you will be impressed. :drool:

Trophy Taker Xtreme.  I consider the WB but the all metal construction, quietness, speed, accuracy, and consistency features of the Trophy Taker sold me.

I use a single pin slider.  Most of my shooting is under 30 yards.
