i am a huge fan of the trophy taker line i use there full containment rest that way no way the arrow will fall off the rest has never let me down you also tend to pick up a little speed as well with no friction from the arrow shaft and fletching not touching the rest when the bow is fired.
:yeah: I also use a trophy taker FC rest and have tried various others including wisker biscuit - many good products out there too choose from but I would shy away from the WB. If your fletch has a helical they drag bad and stretch the fletchings not to menton the lost accuracy. A good freind used a WB until it got wet and froze up on him and caused a missed shot.

My input is that the main thing to gain in going from a prong-style rest to a drop away is in the ease of tuning. I've set up plenty of both styles, and both can be effective, but the drop away style is generally easier to get good vane clearance with. That being said, when you look at the world's best shooters' tournament bows, there is no question that the prong-style (more specifically, the lizard-tongue style) rest is more accuracte when set up correctly. The support of the arrow as it's travelling down the rest adds enough guidance with the proper amount of pressure to create an inherently more accurate shot. The average joe, like you and I, however, generally sees more benefit from the drop away style; a properly set up drop away allows the equipment to shoot better than most of our human limitations allow, unless you happen to be in the top 1% that actually can outshoot their equipment.
You are right Todd
the best Drop away rest is the Limb Driver...it supports the arrow longer and no kick up and the end..we are seeing more guys shooting them in the Tournaments...but the Lizard tongue is still the top rest at shoots

TT for me too... no WB for all the reasons above and the fact they are plastic.
