    Yes I do everyone says get a drop away but I like it. I shoot 20-50 shots a day out of it and had to only change the brushes once. As long as your bow is all squared up you shouldn't have any problems

    Thanks, I was reading some other reviews that seemed to say the same.

    if it works for you, shoot it =)

    I know plenty of folks that love their whisker biscuit rest.

    +1 on the whisker biscuit. Fool proof.

    I liked the hostage rest I had, but I found that if your bow is a tiny bit out of tune you end up replacing brushes often, I guess it's a good no-brainer indicator that you need a tune up. The simplicity of the rest is excellent.

    some of the bows I shot when shopping had them. didn't notice any problems and those were off the shelf bows not fine tuned.

    I still bought a drop away, but these seem like they get the simplicity of a biscuit without as much arrow/fletching contract.
