    As some of you guys might remember, I was having a bit of an issue tuning my bow. I'm using a Whisker Biscuit with my bow which has a 6.25" brace height.

    Im considering switching up my rests if you guys think I would benefit from it. I want something a little more forgiving than my Biscuit but I also want something that has containment. I ran across this and I kind of like the looks of it. It looks like it would offer good containment, so that would be nice, because thats the only reason I shoot the Whisker Biscuit.

    Has anybody tried it or heard anything about it? Is it a good price? Would it be worth the switch from the Whisker Biscuit?

    englum. i did exactly as you are wanting to do. I had the bisquit, and had zero trouble with it, But went to the rip cord and like it even better. It has IMO just as good containment as the Bisquit but performs better. .No conplaints here at all!! :)

    I started shooting the rip cord this summer, so far i like it. I added a piece of camo felt to make the draw silent as well.

    I've had a ripcord for two seasons and I love it. Felt was a must, but I actually stitched a little glove for the forks, works great!!

    The felt on the riser is now replaced with a sims pad...

    Well I just ordered it. I'm hoping it will help fix some of the tuning issues I was having. I'm pretty excited about it, I've never shot anything but a whisker biscuit.
