drop away or whisker biscuit?

[buglebuster]

Have had both before, new bow has a whisker biscuit. Leaning towards buying a drop away just want everyone's opinion.

This debate will go on and on, depends on how busy everyone is.
My vote is WB, it is simple and it works (for hunting). If I was target/3D I might go drop away.

I have used w/b for many years and it works great. I am switching to a rip cord this season. They look like they work awesome. Some of my buddy's have them and love them.

You're right, for hunting you cant ask for much better, you can shoot at all angles and your arrow will never fall off.

I dont want anything touching my arrow on the way out!

Drop away for me. I like the looks of the new Trophy Ridge.  You get both worlds, capture and drop.

I had a WB  for 2 years and never achieved the accuracy & consistency I was looking for.  I put the Trophy Taker drop away on  and was way out shooting even my best day with the Whisker my first shooting session after paper tuning.  With the Trophy Taker full containment your arrow is always on the rest & the whale tail always picks it up & is ready to go at full draw.  Drop away for sure, I have not tried a bunch but am very happy with this one.   Mike

I like the idea of a drop away rest and I was thinking about changing from a WB to a drop away, but then I thought to myself, I dont have problems with it, the arrow never falls out during a stalk or drawing the bow, My accuracy is not effected by it so why switch?

I've got a QAD hunter and never had a lick of problems!

  I think its all been said already.  I have the biscuit.  I am thinking about the change though.

Have shot with both and this is what I found out....

1.  People talk about the whisker biscuit slowing down your arrow.  I chrono'd both and the wisker biscuit slowed my arrow down 3-4 fps....negligable at best.
2.  I shot a whisker buscuit for 2 years and I shoot year around, it takes a ton (300+ estimate) shots per arrow before I saw any fletching wear.  I shoot blazer veins.  I never replaced my whisker buscuit and had literally thousands of shots through it.  They last forever. 
3.  The wisker buscuit does hold your arrow, but I found whilel stalking in dense cover my arrow would get mashed in the whiskers, so I sitll had to check and adjust prior to the shot.
4.  I found the whisker buscuit to be a little loud when drawing. 
5.  I switched back to a Rip Cord drop away rest this last year and Love it.  It is quite and seems to work really well.

My synopsis is both worked really well, but for some reason I found myself with a drop away.  I would have no problem shooting either.  The nice thing is whisker buscuits are really cheep so you should try both and see what works best for you.

Thanks for the input guys, I think ill go down to the bow shop and check out some drop away.

I have had a Ripcord on all my bows...I like them. I did have a whisker biscuit and hated it

I've used both and prefer my Ripcord over the WB.
