    Looking for a new rest shooting a whisker biscuit. Like it but its loud when drawing back looking for a drop away that is quite. Looking at the Trophy Ridge Revolution and the G5 expert II. Any info would be nice. If you got one please share

    Buy

    I went from a WB to a Rip-cord code red, It's one of the more pricey rests, but it is full containment and quiet. I love it.

    I really like my QAD Ultra Rest HDX. Did not take much to tune and time it, but it is a little pricey. I heard good things about NAP Apache for almost half the price.

    I just got the NAP Apache drop away. I paid $59 at Gander and I love it.

    I use the Revolution like it, but it's not a complete lock on the arrow until you're at full draw. Heck I plan on stripping my bow and put all new gear on it by this spring.

    NAP Apache rest is the ticket for the price. I had issues with my QAD not wanting to stay up (Fuse Ultra Rest) and they are quite pricy. Also had contact problems with them so we did some trimming to the "U" part. Good Luck

    I hate my QAD rest, I'm going to change to the limb driver or vital gears rest this spring. I have heard good things about NAP's Apache rest, and did like my old quicktune from NAP.

    I went from the whisker biscuit to the ripcord and its really simple to use and the added accracy is awesome...I feel like if you know someone who can tune those rests effectively you should get the one you like if they can't you cant your gonna waste money cause it prob wont shoot like you want

    You can't go wrong with a Ripcord. I've had one for the past 3 years with no problems! Pricey yes... but well worth the investment!

    The Ripcord Code red, QAD, and Mathews Downforce are all on my list of top drop away rests. They all run in the neighborhood of $115-145 but are well worth the change.
