To answer your question, yeah they will wear out first, they have to........I just don't know how long that takes. They are an insert though so each bristle set can be replaced.

One neat feature of having threee separate brushes is that you can rotate them around when the bottom brushshows signs of wear, this way you get 3 times the use out of them.


Oh, and as Matt eluded to, the Hostage Pro is a great rest.

I Love my Limb Drivers, but I will have a Hostage rest on my General this Spring for Turkey season
The Pro looks to be an awesome rest.

Another question... can you shoot Blazers out of it? Is there enough clearance? And if not, Matt, will the new one accomodate?

One change to the Hostage Pro was to increase the the size enough to allow ample clearance. My wife has the original Hostage on her bow and even though it is close has not had a problem shooting Blazers

Good to know... Thanks... I may wait the 3 days to see the new one and get the higher quality one. I can't seen any reason why I shouldn't switch from the WB. More speed, quieter, won't ruin vanes (as fast)...

I wonder if the new one will have the same advantages... I imagine it will.

Sounds like a no brainer...
