eagle rider Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 So I am still getting slightly high tears on paper, a slight left tail on the arrows in the target but not on paper and the arrow is hitting the riser shelf all with the NAP Apache. Funny how I had none of these problems with the Whisker Bisquet and I only gained 5 FPS with the drop away. Any thoughts here because I'm about ready to switch back to the bisquet.

burmjohn Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I don't think I'll switch from the biscuit any time soon, I love it. Whats a few FPS anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerthug Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I switched from the whisker biscuit to the NAP Apache because my fletchings were getting torn with the biscuit. Now with the Apache I'm shooting with FOB's and I set up the rest the way Centerpunch said and it works great without any contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle rider Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 267 FPS with a 425 grain arrow at 70 pounds. That was the speed with a WB rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loworange88 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I had a bisquit on my last bow, and on my new bow as well. I have noticed much more drag on my fletches with my new bow than with my last. Not too sure whats the deal with that, but I may switch out to a drop away after this season. Aside from that, I still like the bisquit. Been eyeballing the QAD, and the Ripcord as replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbee Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 the theory behind drop aways is minimal arrow contact, as soon as you release, the arrow is sent on a straight path, with a drop away you have negative effects with any poor follow through. with a whisker biscuit your shooting fundamentals ,proper shot follow through, are a must because any variance or movement will be translated to the arrow. shot follow through; holding your bow on target (as though you were still aiming) until your target is hit If you can get your bow tuned and adjust to the difference, i think you will enjoy the drop away, however this close to season, you may want to stick with what you know and trust. maybe hold off to post season to start using new tackle. my .02 on it, and with inflation, its not worth much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno C Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 heard the QAD's are good, heard they have a built in brake system that does not allow the rest to bang back up and tap the arrow during the release... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave6x6 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Love the QAD. When i bought my new Hoyt last year i let the shop guy talk me into the Rip-Cord but after a week of problems i made him swap it for the QAD hd. Like someone said earlier, get the drop timed right and maybe a few micro adjustments for your particular shooting style and set up and you'll be shooting bullet holes in no time.. Lots of people love the simplicity of the biscuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle rider Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Loving the bisquet back on the Strike. Feel like I am back in control now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairchaser Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Another QAD owner here....on a Diamond Black Ice bow. This was my first drop away rest and the drop away has made a big difference for me in consistent accuracy. Worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
