I shot a biscuit on my old bow, a Reflex Growler, and it shot great out to 50 yds with broadheads.  Then I got a Z7 and had tuning problems.  I went with the QAD Ultra Pro HD and now I have my field points and broadheads hitting in the same spot.

QAD Ultra for me too. 2 years and still perfect. I hunt with a arrow always knocked and never have any issues.
Bout as perfect a rest as you could ask for IMO.

As I have stated in the past the biscuit was not for me. My bow was simply to tempermental & I'm sure it had to do with form. I've got the Trophy taker full containment & shooting my best groups ever. Very forgiving, I changed grip Etc when I first got it & shoots the same any position. My biscuit I had to really work on form & still was never happy. Mike

I agree mike the biscut is a compromize.  there quick and easy to set up for a beginner and the proshops just throw them on in a hurry to get a guy shooting . no doubt the fallaways have better flight and performance.

The hostage pro is way better than the whisker biscuit. It eliminates all contact with the vanes and it contains your arrow while hunting. I started out with a biscuit, switched to the drop away and now shoot the hostage. I haven't notice any loss of accuracy while using any of these rests.

I replaced my Hostage pro on my second bow with a biscuit.The brushes on the pro weren't pointing centered.

I played and played and played with the sites.The arrow always went to one spot,no matter what i did.
Well I do need glasses,but my buddy looked at it and pointed it out to me.Two brushes pointed center and the third pointed off center.It was a composite w/o adjustments.
And I bought it last year,so no taking it back.
Love the concept,but I'm not sure about the quality.

Simple and you can get new rubber replacements without pulling the shaft Used them for 20 plus years my dad has had them since the beginning.  All the fancy crap is great if you dont go through the brush. 
What happens when they bend going through some slough and on the other side there is a bull broadside looking at you?

I agree with the problems on the hostage pro. My brushes wore out after less than 50 shots and I never could get it tuned right, with several shops trying and still no success. Don't waste the money. If it works for some guys, more power to them....but I had nothing but problems with mine. :bdid:
