There is nothing wrong with a WB, especially starting out. First time jitters and you have full containment on your arrow one less thing to go wrong, plus money better spent on other equipment at this point. When do you plan on hunting?

It will probably be in November when I get the time to actually start hunting that's when work starts slowing down I haul oversize loads for the pipeline not getting much time at home yet

But the dovetail arrow rest for my vertical and switched to a whisker biscuit mid way through last season. I just trust a WB more. Less moving parts and quieter.

A lot of drop away's have decent arrow containment, but they do require you to be aware of how you turn your bow so you don't make noise by clacking the arrow around. I don't think anything can compare to a WB in that regard.

 

WB are fool proof for the most part. they are quiet. They have worked for many years. Personally, I like a QAD drop away. Containment isn't an issue for me. I tree stand hunt and some ground blind but rarely. Hell I even take the top containment bar off. But, like others have said, the WB will be great for you.

 

I think everyone should begin with a WB. There is many advantages to a drop away but if you are new to the game you want less variables.
