Rest

[Jingles]

For those that do a lot of shooting/hunting with bow, what is your preference for a type of arrow rest, drop away or containment like Whisper biscuit? Thinking of going to the Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit V Max. Currently shooting the Easton 5mm Axis Pro Shafts and feel they are a little sloppy on the current rest.

QAD has never let me down

When my whisker biscuit finally dies I'll probably go with a QAD, but I'm completely happy with it til then.  Some people trash on them, but my bow shoots consistent and I've "Robin Hooded" 4 times with it now at 35yds, so accuracy hasn't been a problem with mine.

I ran the Whisker for years.  My take on em are; perfect in the woods, crawling in the brush etc.  Good shooting to 45y.  Compensates flight when bow is off or out of tune.  I switched to QAD drop and it is so much better shooting longer ranges but bow must be tuned good of course.  Quiet.  Tough.  I love em.  It is old now and can get a little sticky in action on occasion.  Like the capture feature to keep arrow in place and the thumb actuator.

I shoot a rip cord fall away. I concur that my groups are smaller and range extended. I had a whisker as my first rest. It got wore out and i switched.

i finally put a ripcord drop away this year after years of a trophy taker drop away. id def recommend ripcord. as far as whisker biscuit, nothing wrong with them, but i had it explained like this; you want nothing touching that arrow once you release it, too much potential for failure/arrow flight change.  i had one on my very first bow 20 years ago and it worked fine, but im of the mindset to keep everything off the arrow once i release it to prevent any potential mishaps.

Ripcord for me.

Ripcord for me too.  Kids shoot a whisker biscuit and am plenty happy with them too.  I think the whisker biscuit is plenty sufficient for new hunters at reasonable ranges.  hunting partner uses the QAD and he like it too.  Lots of good options out there.

I'm running a hamskea from a whisker biscuit and it's night and day difference.

I agree drop away for me. I've been very happy with QAD and trophy ridge pro smackdown rest. I've got a couple bows set up that way. Got tierd of burning through whisker biscuits but I also do alot of shooting.

Hamskea hybrid hunter. It’s a limb driven fall away rest which is awesome because it’s so easy to set up and much easier to fix in the field than a cable drive fall away rest.

Shot QADs for the better part of a decade. Made the switch to a VaporTrail Gen 7x and I have no complaints.

Like the majority have said the fall away rest is the way to go. I’d go with a good limb driven fall away rest like a hamskea or vapor trail. Like burrows said the simplicity of the set up and easily fixable in the field.
