Whisker biscuit or arrow rest

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Its the last thing I need before im ready for the bow season. And thats a whisker biscuit. Any one use the trophy ridge sure shot whisker biscuit? Or maybe have one they have had good luck with.

 

How about a arrow rest any one using them.

I have a trophy ridge one and prefer the apache drop away rest.

Muzzy drop away rest 5 years no problems.I cannot see wanting fletching to go threw something ,Just My 2 cents.

I used a biscuit for 6 years  but when it was time for a new rest I went with a Fuse Ultra max drop away and have never shot better.

QAD Drop away.

Sounds like its homework time. Drop away rest make less noise I have heard and make FPS better!?  Not sure how true that is.

I use a TR whisker biscuit. I'll give up a few fps for the convenience of it.

[CuseHunter]

Ultra rest and apache are the best two drop aways in my opinion from all the reading I did. You can't beat the apache for the price and reliability. I couldn't use it cuz I have a hoyt turbohawk and it doesn't fit right on it. If I could use it I definitely would.

although i hear some good things about the whisker biscuit, they generally come from guys who have not shot these newer drop away rests. IMO, anything that creates drag on the arrow completely prior to flight is just not a good thing.

Drop aways gives better flight and speed. Whiskers gives better convenience. With whiskers, you can stalk easier with an arrow nocked where as with a drop away, the arrow will bounce around if you're holding the bow in odd angles while hiking through the woods.

i have a drop away rest made by QAD and i walk through the woods with an arrow knocked all the time and never had an arrow prematurely pop off. thats why when i say new drop aways, theres a lot more to them. mine even has a smart braking system to prevent the rest from popping back up causing arrow deflect after release.

to each his own BUT if having the biscuit only for stalking purposes to me  isnt realy a great excuse to sacrifice other things you may lose with shooting one.

Thats what I use now and hate it lol.  I shoot my bow almost every day even on a busy work day I still like to let some arrows fly and them whiskers burn up fast. Throws my arrow all around.

Have never used a drop away only the biscuit. I loved itbut many of these posts have good points about drag and such. Just about every one that posted likes drop aways maybe they are on to something and its worth taking a look into

[Geno C]

well especially if you shoot a lot and the whiskers tend to get degraded, then either A) your arrow will fly inaccurate and your spending more money quite often for new rests.

 

but i mean at the end of the day the one using the rest has to feel comfortable with what hes using and if the whisker works, use it. but if you have the chance to shoot a legit drop away then do it and honestly see how it feels. ive shot the whisker and me no likey lol

I've popped an arrow out of my QAD on my way into the woods on a spot and stalk. It is prone to happen when you are in some brush that requires the bow to be canted to the left or switched hands to get around brush on your left, if you are a righty like me. It's not as secure as quiet as the whisker when stalking, that's for sure.

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Ebay. 10 bucks plus free shipping. I mean its not bad to replace but to do it every 3 or 4 months sucks.

 

I take it you need some fresh one to lol ?

Biggest complaint about the three prong brush rest is replacement brushes. If you're lucky enough to get them on right, you may not have to re-tune your bow, but just the cost of replacing brushes alone can get you a nice drop away after a few sets of those brushes.

Rip cord red drop away rest, this thing is rock solid.

How much did that one cost if you remember ?? I tried looking them up and saw a few different ones.

I have used a biscuit long enough that I had to cut a notch in the first one I bought. I know others are very happy with the newer drop aways, but other than taking a few shots with their bows, I can't give much of an opinion on them. I am happy with my whisker biscuit because it is simple and I have never had it let me down in the woods.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Ive been using a biscuit for years. The only time I had any kind of issue with it was when I tried to install it and use it without proper tuning. Get it tuned by someone that knows them and youll be all set.
