    I shoot a Trophy Ridge Revolution which I like and it wasn't very expensive, but I honestly shot just as good through my old whisker biscuit.

    I shoot the apache drop away but the revolution looks awesome. I head there is a revolution 2. Anyone seen it. Oh yeah and any style shoot through whisker biscuit is just ridiculous. Ok I get it "they work". But why would you want flechings coming in contact with anything. Drop away all the way.

    A WB is the first rest I tell newbs to get. Why? Because your arrow will dang near never fall out....let down is quieter because no arrow hop if not 100% slow and smooth...and affordable and functional. I don't prefer them but I do for newbs into bowhunting. I also would probably put one on if I was gonna do a lot of stalking or brush walking wit it....little bumps here or there and the arrow is still right where it needs to be: some would say this is priceless.

    Yeah yeah the old do it twice do it nice technique. I say do it right the first time and learn your patterns with the right equipment. Check out the revolution I think by trophy ridge. Great capture. I gotta get me one of those.

    For my style they don't work...but if I go out West chasing Elk I very well could see myself putting on one in preperation...I want that full enclosure (well almost full) so no bumping of arrow could occur.

    They do have me intrigued...however not 100% sold on them. To each their own though for sure.

    I have set a few up. Too much play for my liking and I didn't care the adjustments. If a guy was wanting full containment out of a drop away I would look at the Rip Cord. Trophy Taker and Vapor Trail also accomplish and nearly complete arrow containment.

    Rip cord has been around for awhile. Always looked great to me.

    I shot one for a few years, really liked it. They are located about an hour south of me.
