better rest

[VOLDEERHUNTER31]

what is better a whisker biscuit or a fall away rest. if the fall away is better then which one. better as in accuracy and i know the whisker biscuit slows it down a little. just want an oppinion

QAD Pro is the best in every way IMO.
I shoot it on my Drenalin,and have never had to do anything to it since the day it was installed.

The QAD has the let down feature,which is a plus.
Silent,and works great. No fletching contact.

The Whisker Biscuit is the best rest ever made for hunting IMO. Its simple to set up and no moving parts to malfunction and the arrow will not fall off.

I don't have hardly any experience with bow equipment,as i just got my first compound bow 2 months ago.But mine came with a Hostage arrow rest and I love it.The arrows doesn't fall out or move around.I've been reading alot of other bowhunting forums trying to pickup tips and pointers and have heard alot of people say that the Hostage is better than the whisker biscuit!

I have never shot an arrow thru a WB, but I have and love the Ripcord

Don't know about the WB but love the hostage pro.

 

[TNtrapper]

QAD for me!!

 

[DCA-DEER]

Have a WB and love it.

 

[Bertman]

WB will not use anything else.

WB.

Drop away. If your gonna shoot a Whisker Bisquit, do yourself a favor and buy a fletching jig with some good glue and fletchings.

A fall away is going to be more accurate than a WB any day of the week. I have used a WB and it does serve its purpose - which is basicly to contain the arrow. However, if accuracy is your primary concern a drop away can't be beat, especially by a WB.

As far as the best dropaway. I have used several and the best that I have used is the Vapor Trail Limbdriver.

The QAD is the worst rest I have ever used . I had the Hunter model and it failed to dropaway .
For hunting , I would go with a WB rest . For 3-D and hunting I would say a simple drop away like a Trophy Taker .

I can shoot as good with a WB as I can with a drop away . It all depends on form .

Agree. Have heard tons of satisfied QAD shooters that prefer it over any other rest.
Might be other fallaways that work as well like the Ripcord.
I never shot one myself,but hear good things about it also.
It's a personal choice.
If you go to the Mathews website forum, you will find a large number of archers who shoot a QAD.

I try many products and use my own judgement . The QAD failed ,and I know of proshops that have had the same issues with them as well .

 

[LCU]

Radar are you a WB shooter?

 

[bobthebowhunter]

I haven't had any problems with my trophey taker rest. Some Drop aways can cause clearance issues if not set up right.

Haven't tried the WB. I like the speed.

BTW Is the term "Ripcord" the same as a drop away or something different?

You must not spend much time on here.lol

 

[Radar]

Radar are you a WB shooter?

For hunting , yes . I think it is the best hunting rest on the market . I have put several drop away rests on my bows ,but always seem to go back the WB for hunting .
I currently have a Trophy Taker Shaky Hunter , Cobra Double Diamond , and Muzzy Zero Effect , but have WB's and a NAP 360 mounted on my hunting bows .

Tests have been run on the WB showing very little loss of speed . Most hunters wouldn't notice the difference in a couple feet per second .

 

[Winchester]

Whisker biscuit is the better hunting rest!

I do agree with the loss of speed factor. Next to nothing.
Also agree the QAD has more things that can go wrong with it.
If it acts up..it's no use.

So far mine has worked great. If it stops working,it's off and on with the WB.

I shot a 3D rover for years and liked it. On my new bow I put a NAP Quiktune 3000 and love it.

Oh i stand corrected I heard that you lost like 20fps with a WB. I heard that from one of those pro shops that was just recently mentioned in the general forum. Imagine that. It be a good comparison with some one who has a chron

 

[W.Seay]

Ripcord is the way to go! It holds the arrow just as secure as the biscuit but keeps the fletching and arrow from touching anything upon release.

 

[FLTENNHUNTER1]

WB all the way. I shoot blazer vanes and do not have any issues.
