Whisker biscuit vs. Drop Away

[MuleyontheWall]

I've got a TT drop away on my hoyt and have had a few issues with the bolts coming loose that attach the rest to the bow..love the rest but i just have to watch it...put some loc-tite on it and its been good to go..

The best one IMO is the vital gear drop away, it holdas the arrow in place like a biscuit so you can have it knocked while covering ground yet its a fall away so no worries of any vane issues

Trophy taker, can't go wrong.

I have no personal experience w/ a WB.  Several seasoned archers I've talked to have related related some bad experiences w/ WBs.  The fact that they are plastic turns me off on em.  I don't like the idea of my hunt being over w/ 1 fall.  See I fall alot 

I ended up going w/ a TT XtremeFC Angled.  It's nails!

Is that the same one as the link I posted?

I have used bolth for one season and taken multiple animals with bolth. I am going back to the wb I believe it is the best pure hunting rest their is especially if you elk hunt (mostly under 30 yards). the drop aways have the edge on the really long shots but most of us dont shoot at game past 50yds. It shure is nice when that bull is coming in and you have to make a quick move to know that your arrow is glued on (WB) or treestand, stalking whateaver. as long as you have decent form you can still drill the pie plate at 60 with some practice. I have never had a WB fail or seen one fail if it is set up right, I have worn one out . I have on a few ocasions seen the drop aways fail especially the rip chord style. I just dont want to have to worry about my precion drop away rest getting messed up when i am on a overnight hunt or screws vibrating out on my bike ect.

I don't think you can beat the biscuit for hunting situations. I use one and never had any problems with freezing or noticeable loss of arrow speed. The only problem I had was I would get black marks on my vanes. One trip to the bow shop and they fixed it.The new biscuit line looks much improved and it will be going on my new bow. The hassle free piece of mind to me is worth 1-2 fps.

Sorry, but I have been archery hunting for 25 years.  And for every one of those years I have spent hours at times tuning my bow so that there was ABSOLUTELY no fletching contact with the arrow rest, regardless of the type of rest.  The WB has some advantages, but anything that contacts my fletching during a shot will never be on my bow.  I know many of you have good results, but the whole thing is just counter intuitive to me.

I also dont like anything touching my fletching, there are 2 rests that are the best of both worlds.. take a look at vital bow gear and the quad Hd, both are fall away rests that hoold the arrow in place.. the best of both worlds!!

And while your spending hours at times tuning your bow I am out in the field scouting and hunting

Used them both, the drawback of the biscut I found was they just thrash your fletchings, I was always redoing them, it held good and my Pro told me about the slowing down factor, tat with todays bows(if that's what your using) it isn't enough to worry he figurd 2-3 FPS I now use the trophytaker and love it. It takes alittle getting use to but not much. the other drawback to the WB is I think you go out of tune faster with the ever changing whiskers, I'd go through three sets a year. All that friction, with the taker i may have to change the felt out once a year maybe

Touche'........................  Hope that WB never tears a fletch off as your arrow passes through it, formerly on it's way to the biggest bull of your life.

Goldtip, most of the time my fletching rips is when I am shooting those crappy hale bayle out at the flint tip. I started bringing my own target ever time I go there.

[highclimber]

I dont have as good as groups with the wb.

[Hoytstaffshooter83]

the WB is a good hunting rest. thats about it, you wont get crazy tight groups with one, but you can get hunting quality no doubt..... im tellin you guys.. vital bow gear and thr quad HD... best of both worlds
