Whisker Biscuit or Fallaway
«

I am currently using a whisker biscuit and have noticed a slight amount of inconsistency in my shots and a lot of wear and tear on my arrows. Has anyone been in this scenario and considered switching to fallaway rest or actually done it. I am considering a change. Let me know what you guys use and recommend.

on my old bow I have a whisker and seemed if i had a nick in my fletchings it would tear them up, on the new bow switched to a drop away. never had any inconsistency with the whisker just wanted to try a drop away is why i switched.

I shot with the biscuit for a while but was also getting tired of the fletchings getting wrinkled. Got a new bow (Mathews Z7) and it wouldn't tune with the biscuit. It turned out to be a blessing as I switched to a QAD pro fall-away and haven't been happier. It still contains the arrow, has tighter groups and no arrow damage at all. I highly recommend switching.

Fall away is the better option but the whisker biscuit works well too.. just that is does tear up your arrows after shooting alot ... and is good for closer range accuracy plus slows your speed down alittle do to the drag of the arrow passing threw the biscuit ... But they are extremely accurate at certain distances.. I have one on my kids bow and he has killed a couple deer at 40 yrds without much trouble !

Went from a WB to a trophy taker. Seemed to improve accuracy and reduce noise. I liked the ease of the WB holding the arrow while walking around, but when I went to the drop away, I just put on, (I'm not sure what they're called) little plastic thing in front of the drop away that the arrow clips in until I draw back.

Again its all opinion .. but I have had this rest on my bow about 11 yrs now and have shot 1000 s of arrows threw it and never ever had one thing go wrong with it for as long as I had it put on here ... plus I have a limited edition of Mathews bow made for the national wild turkey federation .. do not think many know about that but they made a couple and sold them to us a very very reasonable price and believe me it has killed alot of sheet .....QUICK TUNE REST for me !

Trophy taker fall away, the first and still the best.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

The only positive that the WB has is that there are no moving parts to fail. Other than that, get a drop away. I have Limbdriver on all my bows.
