    do you want to stick with a whisker bisket or get a different rest thats not as "noisy" as other rests? and does is affect the arrows speed and its accuracy?

    Not trying to bash the ole WB i know quite a few guys that used them for years an love them.. I just never liked the thought of my arrow passing thur 100s of bristles. Seems as they would ware down an you may lose accuracy just a thought.

    The old wb is a great hunting rest, but the new full capture drop always are quieter and don't reduce arrow speed. Money well spent in my book.

    Spend the 50-100 bucks and get a drop away.

    The amount of speed a wb takes away is trivial. IMO lll stick with a whisker biscuit. Less parts to fail and accurate for me.

    The WB will get shot out , accuracy goes to hell with no warning. Try a wb below zero or in an ice storm. My 12 yo found out the hard way. Time to chuck the cassette tapes, vhs, and the 90's.

    Never had my accuracy go to crap with no warning. Sprayed it with a spray they sell for the biscuit and never had an issue with snow or sleet or below freezing temps. Also heard of guys using silicone spray. To each his own. Some love em some dont. Just how it is! Guess we should throw out our mathews black max bows..there from the 90's, hitting speeds just as fast as 2013...

    I switched from WB to a QAD HDX and I love it.
