I shoot the trophy taker and have no complaints :twocents:
I don't always shoot big mule deer, but when I do, it's with a bow tech!

What he said. I love my smackdown pro. Even if you don't go with the smackdown I would recommend taking a look at limb driven rests and not anything that needs to be tied into the cables. Way easier to setup. You pull the cord tight and tie it to the limb. That is it. If I needed to, I could use a piece of boot lace to tie in my rest if my cord broke in the field.

Rip cords work good like everybody is saying but if you have a HOYT bow these two sometimes don't get along.  I've been archey tech for years and thats just my experience witht them.   :twocents:

But still a great rest!!

wisker biscuts are garbage , good for a lil kid , poor flight and slow you down , and they can freeze up. I saw archery techs push these things because they where easy to set up and got people shooting . why shoot a high end bow with a broom on it ? plus they are really hard on fletchings , my prime and hoyts like the quads and the bowtech shoots really well with the ripcord .

They have been proven to be effective but with that said I wouldn't use one.

It's all about consistency.  Why spend the time truing arrows, repeating form, same anchor, etc... and then not be guaranteed that your rest will react the same shot to shot.  There is no way to guarantee the interaction between the whiskers and fletching will be the same shot to shot. :twocents:
