Smackdown works also. Shot a whisker bisquit for a few years and will still use it stalking through cover. All depends on preference.
I just changed out my wisker biscut for a NAP apache drop away. HUGE improvement. Tighter groups, increased arrow speed, and quieter drawback. I highly recomend it. Plus its not that expensive as well. $54.99 at Gander Mountain. Its also fully contained so you dont gotta worry aboutr the arrow falling out
I need an arrow rest thats affordable right now. Im gonna get somthing very basic and cheap for now. Bow equipment puts holes in your pocket.
I have to say I like my drop away but I have used Whiskers before and I never had any accuracy issues, whiskers hold the arrow nice and tight with little to no noise where as some Drop away you can have your arrow knocking around but a lot of companies have fixed that issue, now one containment rest I really like is the Octane Hostage ( http://www.fuelthehunt.com/#/technologyBreakdown?r=products_technology&i=30 ) which I am actually thinking of getting and changing out my Ripcord but for all I know I might end up staying a Drop Away person. Good Hunting.
I use a Ripcord. When the flipper is locked up after nocking an arrow it is fully contained and the rubber padding on all the hard plastic keeps things pretty quite. if you just rest an arrow and don't want to lock the flipper up there is a rubber mount included that helps hold the arrow in place until draw. When drawing there is already moleskin on the flipper to keep things quite. I used to shoot a WB and am super happy i made the switch. Accuracy improved immediately not going to deny it might have been a mental thing also though.
Drop-away hands down...I've used a whisker biscuit for 3 years, until this year. Accuracy improves, drastically. Coach Purses|Coach Bags|coach outlet
Used a whisker biscuit for several years. Never a prob with accuracy, or fletching. Wanted to try something different---went to ultra-rest hunter for about a year---great rest, but prefer WB. WB's are bullet-proof.
Used a WB for about three years then last year switched to a QAD drop away. I much prefer the drop away.
Save the grief and go with the Whisker Biscuit. You will have less problems and be very successful!!! Now show him how to get it done!! "Ninja Biscuit Style" Good Luck,
I totally disagree! As long as your form and follow thru are consistant, accuracy is just as good, if not better with the WB!!
nothing will beat perfect form i had a WB on evo and my consisyency was not that good cause my form was not perfect and it was messing with my NAP quick spin st fletches so i switched to a TR revolution and it got better but im still having a problem with my grouping and i think i narrowed it down to the fletching. long story short drop aways will always work better cause it dosent touch the arrow it might not be a big difference but it will be different.
Is it any harder to broad head tune a WB vs a Drop away? I didn't really get that far this year with my bow (rest and form issues plagued my summer) so I just sighted my bow into where my broad heads are hitting. Next year I'm planning on getting a whole new rig and am wondering whether to go with a full containment drop away or go with a WB. A WB just seems so much easier. My girlfriend has one on her bow and I just really like the ease of use and no moving parts. But since fletching clearance is a must for broad head tuning it seems to kind not really work in favor of the WB.
WB will work good in most cases, keep in mind I'm shooting a very high performance and very unforgiving bow I need to give myself any kind of advantage I can if I tweek a shot a little that's why I went to a revolution as far as which type of rest works best for broadheads I'm no help to you I shoot reapers and they fly lime a field point through any rest.
Whisker biscuits are too noisey. The friction caused by the arrow being pulled back across the rest has scared many a deer away for me. They also eat the fletchings up. If you have to move the bow around in tight spots the fixed arrow can get in the way. I hunt with a drop away and will more than likely go back to the 2 prong. The 2 prongs are just so simple there is very little to go wrong. The drop-way and the 2 prong will work the same if the bow is well tuned.
