    Im lookin at getting a new arrow rest for my bow. I have a few in mind and im wondering if anyone has tried them out and if so what they think.

    The first is the Trophy Ridge Revolution-

    The second is the NAP Apachy Drop Away Rest-
    http://www.basspro.com/New-Archery-...uct/10206600/-1689675?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT

    And then my last choice would be one of the higher end Whisker Biscuits.


    Any info will be appreciated.

    NAP Apache all the way!!! I don't know much about the scissor type and I hate the whisker biscuits. They are loud, tear veins and wear out easily. I installed a NAP Apache and it is not just quiet but, completely silent, easy to adjust, easy to use, tough as nails and looks great on your bow. For the $ you wont find a better one. Thats why so many on here have started using it. Some have even switched from rest that have 2x the price tag because they like them so much. Buy one and you wont be disappointed period.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with the apache, but don't be afraid to give the ripcord code red a shot. I've been very fond of it.

    Add me to the ripcord code red.

    You won't get any complaints on here about the ripcord or the apache.

    I'd stay away from the revolution, I'd go with the NAP Apache or a QAD Ultra

    I recently replaced my Whisker Biscuit with a Vapor Trail Limbriver Pro-V. So far, I'm very impressed with it.

    Unfortunately, I will admit to my experience being limited to both of these at this time so I can't speak to many others. Though, I know a competitive shooter who really likes the Opposition. Though, I'm not too sure on it as in order to clear the rest, one has to nock arrows with the odd feather down (recent discussion in another thread).

    NAP

    I've seen the apache do amazing things. I love the design of a fully closed, fall away. Good luck!

    I appreciate all the help guys. I think im gonna go down to the shop and see if they will let me try out the Apache. If not ill just take my chances, its not too expensive.
