    I've been hunting with a whisker biscuit for a few years now. Love the fact it hold my arrow in place well, but just seems to slow my arrow down a good bit. Could just be me not sure. Looking into the drop away systems. Give me your thoughs please. thanks

    I have a quad HDX. It seems like a good rest to me. Tried a quad hunter on my Assassin, but had too much vane contact on my arrows so I went back to the Hostage rest that was on it. I will probably go to a biscuit when the brushes wear out on that one.

    I went from the WB to a TR Revolution offers full containment and drops away and it is priced right. Thousands of shots and it has never let me down

    I have used the QAD HD for several years and even put them on my wife and daughter's bows. This year I am switching over to the Vapor Trail Limbdriver Pro V. Several guys that I know swear by them hands down, enough to get me to switch.

    QAD, any one but the Hunter. I have used both a Hunter and an HDX (currently on my bow) and the Hunter can be a pain to tune.

    Trophy Ridge Revolution. Good and inexpensive.

    I use the Limbdriver Pro-v, great rest. Never had any problems at all with it.

    Love the one your with.
    2-3' per second is nothing for all the whisker biscuit offers and a 100% guarantee.

    Totally agree. I love the WB, been hunting with it for a bunch of years without a problem. It gives me peace o mind.

    I've tried a handful. Both Apache versions, NAP 360, ,Ripcord, and have had several "experiences"with a buddy's QAD along with a couple WBs. Right know I'm shooting a Trophy Taker xtreme fc and it's my favorite of all of them. As far as I'm concerned I'm done switching.

    I personally like the rip cord drop away rests i've never had a problem with them they have a deep channel so my arrow never pops out and they get out of the way I never had an arrow hit or be obstructed by the rest, and I shoot speed bows I shoot PSE I've owned a 2010 2012 omen and now a 2014 Fullthrottle and the chrono is 358 fps and no problems

    I prefer the limb driven rests. If you ever watched someone draw their bow back with a cable driven rest and noticed how much the activation cord pulls on the cables, you would see why. Plus theres no "timing" the rest with limb driven ones. Like the Ron Popeil infomercial says......"set it and forget it"

    I switched 3 weeks ago from a WB to a QAD HDX. Biscuit worked fine but didn't have the adjustments I wanted for BH tuning so I switched. Happy that I did. One on the bow it was easy to tune with my ST mags. I can even say my grouping may be better too. Broadhead tuned for 2014.jpg
    Just my view!

    I have a NAP apache. Works fine. I would suggest getting a little rubber containment piece for your arrow. Put it in front of your rest. It will hold the arrow in place until you draw. I really like my arrow being solid until I need it to move.

    Sims LimbSaver® Fall-Away Arrow Holder : Cabela's

    Something similar to this. This doesn't look like it would hold very well though. Mine looks like it would be tighter. I got at local bow shop.
