    I shot with a trophy ridge revolution this year and it worked great. Fall away, full containment, and it was less than $100. I was satisfied for what I paid and how it performed.

    I use limbdriver pro v that is awesome but it's around$110. If I were to go low budget I would go with the qad hunter model that is around $55.

    I'm with colton96 on this.
    I have the Nap Apache, it's awesome an has never let me down. Its simple, no tool adjustment, there ridiculously durable and has sound deadner all over the thing. It's as silent as a church mouse! I'd probably look into em if I were you.

    I have 2. The Original and the CARBON. I like them both. I would also look into the QAD Hunter model as well though. It has a couple features that the Apache doesn't have.

    I recommend NAP Carbon Apache or the Ripcord Code Red.

    But, it your WB is ripping off fletchings, there is something wrong with either the WB installation, arrow fletching oreintation or it's a poor fletch job. I used a WB for 10 years and never once had a fletch ripped off.

    I just picked up a brand new NAP Apache on eBay from a shop for $49 shipped to me. Just came in the mail yesterday. I currently have a hostage rest on my bow and have until Jan 31st to hunt. So needless to say I'm not putting my new Apache on til after the season but I can't wait. :) Have yet to use one but I've heard nothing but positives about the Apache.

    Look at the Trophy Taker X-Treme FC Pro Arrow Rest. Very easy to setup and I like it attaches to the limbs vs strings like many others.

    I completely agree with the trophy ridge revolution. I bought the qad hd and bought my brother the revolution for Christmas and it does the job just fine. I honestly may pick up the revolution micro this coming summer. I do love my qad but feel the revolution give more clearance for the fetching.

    Plenty of good ones. I use an Apache. But I am curious why your WB is tearing up fletchings? (feathers) or vanes (plastic). I shot one for years with zero problem with that. I had a cam issue and tried a new Apache to resolve it. It didn't fix the problem but I kept the rest even though I loved the WB which I shot feathers through.
