    I switched from the WB to the Ripcord, and hands down that is the best thing I have done to my bow. My arrows seem to shoot faster, but it probably isn't much of a difference. You also do not have to worry about the whiskers getting messed up and affecting arrow flight. I wasn't a big fan of the WB

    I also made the switch this year from a WB to the ripcord. Best investment i have made for my bow to date. I didn't like the WB due to noises i would sometimes get when i drew. The ripcord is silent easy to install and also allows for different fletching which was the selling point for me. I also switched to a right offset 4" duravane fletch and i am loving how tight my groups are at 30 and even 40.

    I switched to a Ripcord from a Biscuit a couple of years ago, and I'll never go back to the Biscuit. My groups shrank, my bow became quieter, and it seemed easy to broadhead tune my bow with the Ripcord. The only perk about the Biscuit was the full containment, but if the Ripcord offers full containment on top of the other perks, then it's a no-brainer for me.

    I've since switched from the original RC to a RCCR, and like it just the same if not more- it seems alot quieter.

    Ha, pretty cut and dry!
    I have a code red and I am happy with it. It is very quiet and consistent. I would make the switch for sure.

    Ripcord is a very good rest! quiet and dependable. WB is too loud at times on the draw.

    I had wanted a ripcord for a couple years and finally went to it last summer. I love the RCCP. It's quiet, has full containment, doesn't mess up my arrows, and is accurate. I never had a WB, but I see many people here do. I wonder how WB users like their rest.

    I know some guys swear but the WB, but I've never been a fan. I have the original RC, and it has served me well.

    I have 2 bows set up with Whisker Bisucit and one with a Rip Cord. I like the rip cord, but don't notice any speed difference.

    I have heard very good things about rip cord but my buscuit has never failed me and I don't fix anything that ain't broke.

    I have a regular Ripcord on one of my bows, and the Code Red on my other. I use to have a two prong rest and I was really surprised of my accuracy when I switched to Ripcord. I've never used a whisker biscuit so I can't say anythang bout it.
