compound bow sights and rests

[Skyvalhunter]

I am going to be changing my bow sight and rest on my Martin bow. Anyone have any suggestions? I heard good things about the Hogg rest and whisker rest. Any thoughts on these?

People keep telling me to get the whisker bisquit.

In my opinion the DropZone rest is the best. Your arrow does stay in contact with the rest thus allowing quicker stabilization of flight. I also use FOB's instead of fletching. the FOB's are very aerodynamic and will stabilize the flight sooner than most all veins/fletching. The curly veins may come close but are labor intensive to apply. As far as Sights go, Copper John is probably the best I can think of. High visibility pins and does not Halo under intense light conditions (very bright sun).

I have always stayed away from the whisker biscuit, I have a TR drop zone on my LX and I had a Trophy Taker full capture on my Drenalin, and shot amazing groups with both. I threw a WB in my tackle box in case I had any rest problems while up in the hills. Last year after arriving at camp, I got my bow out to make sure it was still shooting good. As I drew the bow the cord to my TT snapped! I threw the back up WB on, sighted it in and went out the next day and killed a descent buck.  You will here a lot of horse *censored* about the fletch contact and how it drastically  slows down the arrow speed and is terribley inaccurate. In reality my arrow looses 3fps and I shoot groups to a 100 yards. In my opinon the WB is the best hunting rest on the market.
The Spot Hogg  Hunter Hogg it with the 7 pin Wrap is also an excellent sight.

Cobra 7 pin .19 pins

trophy taker original is the only rest I will ever use.

Trophy taker's have been on my bow since before you could find them for sale anywhere but out of the back of Dan's truck.  Never had a failure with one, and will most likely never shoot another rest.  I also shoot a Spot Hogg 3 pin site with a 4th pin in .19 pins.

i could not live without my whisker biscuit i actually can keep my arrow knocked as im walking it cuts down about 4 seconds for me to get to full draw. not only that it is easy to use. warning i would be careful walking around with the arrow knocked  lol

I love my trophy taker, if you shoot all the time I would go with a drop away. Trophy takers are excellent, I have heard good things about the Spott Hogg whammy. If all you do is hunt and shoot occasionally then the whisker biscuit is a good choice. Sights I like my Spott Hogg SDP seven pin and can't wait to put the wrap on it. It is an excellent sight.

I love my QAD Ultra Rest.  Full containment and drop away.  If I pull the upper bar off, then it is just like a TT rest, at least in appearance.

I want to get a different sight as well, though.  I have the Tru-Glo 5 pin, but am looking into getting a single pin adjustable instead.

I would go with the whisker biscuit as a rest being that it is easy to tune, rock solid rest where your arrow isn't going to fall off or something if you have buck fever real bad. I almost went with a drop away on the bow I bought last week but decided to stick with the WB, the guy at the pro shop said the drop aways will help if you don't have real good form but I couldn't see any advantages really to putting one on my bow. Just seems like it is one more thing to go wrong on your bow being that it is connect to a cable something could go wrong with that as mention above. As far as a sight I switched to the copper john dead nuts 2, it has seven pins and wrap around fiber optics which keeps all the pins nice and bright. The sight is inexpensive compared to spot hoggs being around a hundred bucks, it is durable and is easy to adjust.

Fall away rests.  Whisker Biscuit's are better utilized for their god intended purpose, and they do not belong on a bow.  Ever see a Whisker Biscuit on any of the top 3D, Target, shooters bows?  Probably just fine for a 20-30yd shot.  I love my in-line .19 sights because I can see so much of the intended target while shooting. 

[bowhuntin]

Can't say that I have ever watched or done 3D and don't care because it isn't a hunting situation. The whisker biscuit is a rock solid rest and can be shot out to longer distances just as well with good form and proper tuning of your bow.

NAP Quicktune 4000 fall-away (same one since 01) and a Lethal Weapon Special Ops sight by Sure-Loc.....

Spott Hogg 7dp & Trophy Taker.  I have used both for years with 0 problems and great results.  I fell (all 280 lbs) on my Spott Hogg on the ice with no effect or damage to my sight or bow.  Whisker Biscuits are good if you are into re-fletchng or dont shoot a ton.  I'm pretty anal about my equipment and cant see how dragging vanes through a rest can be good for the consistency of the arrow.  IMO.
