Gator Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 TT Shakey Hunter, very simple rest, not much to it If I was gonna change, it would be to the QAD Ultra Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zach90 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Quad Ultra Rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born4it Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I shoot with a Muzzy Zero Effect drop away. There's no strings or springs to break, freeze, rust, stretch, or anything else! It's a mechanical masterpiece! The only reason other companies haven't come out with anything similar is because Joe, the guy who made it and sold the rights to Muzzy, put so many patents on it, nobody else can make anything close. In most FALL away rests, there's a string that allows the rest to fall, but in this rest, there's a joint that attaches to the cable slide that forces the arm of the rest down, ensuring the arrow will never hit. Just my suggestion! Go with whatever makes you the most confident though! Take care, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I've used a Whisker Biscuit for just over a year and have loved it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Trophy Taker Shakey, because. At the time, it was the premier drop away. Lot of good drop aways these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Whisker Biscuit for the last four years. I like the full containment, the arrow never falls off, and the Blazers I use just love it back! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Blade Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 QAD,,,I like this rest because its a containment style dropaway......... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have a Schaffer MAT-1 on my Switchback. Best rest I've ever used. It's designed to specifically fit a Mathews / Mission bow, and it "locks" on to the riser. I've used a Trophy Taker and the Mathews HD Convertible in the past. The Schaffer is quieter and built better than both. http://www.schafferarchery.com/ http://www.schafferarchery.com/mat1-arrow-rest.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widowmaker Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I shoot the QAD on my Drenalin and love it. A drop-away with full containment and only drops upon firing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildthing Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 whicker biscuit for me too. NEVER have a problem with my arrow going anywhere...in the stand or on the way to/from the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I use the Whisker Biscuit to hunt with sometimes. There's no way an arrow can come off it and it shoots broadheads very well. But it doesn't stand up well to lots of shooting and may ruin your fletching. The Shakey Hunter I have on my PSE Mossy Oak X and it shoots extremely well at 250fps. The only problem is that one very fast bow I had, the arrows would hit it before it went down. My other PSE has an AAE lightning drop away. It's magnetic and has a lightweight plastic rest and gets out of the way quickly enough to clear the arrows no matter what. It's my favorite and I came in 19th nationally in Sportsman's Warehouse 3 in 40 competition (3 arrows from a hunting setup at 40 yards). Got a $100.00 gift card. I was hoping for a new Jeep. Maybe next time. Look it up on www.sportsmanswarehouse.com click on 3 in 40 archery results. Here's a photo of what happened with my PSE wearing the Shakey Hunter. Two robinhoods on the 14 target Field course. One at 25 one at 40 (4 arrows in 3/4"). Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackBlaster Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Whisker biscuit for 5 years now, my arrow falling off or a sliding noise when drawing back is one less thing to worry about when taking that shot of a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
