stringpicker Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'm looking at buying a new rest for my bow. Right now I have a Fuse whisker biscuit. I have read stuff on here about how the bristles cause your arrow to move alittle during flight and also after a while it wears on your feathers. Just wanting to know what you guys might suggest. I do like the capturing feature of the WB. I mainly hunt out of a tree, but would do occasional stalk. Thanks in advance!

LifeNRA Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 No problems here with my WB rest! I use Bohning Blazers through mine. The Bohning Killer Vanes also work well. Just never use a helical with the Killer vanes. Now I do use a helical with the Blazers. But since the vane is so short, it doesn't seem to effect the WB. So far so good! Maybe you just need a vane switch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrj3514 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 i use a hostage rest. holds the arrow well without obstructing flight or bothering fletchings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I've shot a WB, Trophy Taker....and currently use a QAD....love this rest. Absolutely quiet, full containment and a drop away Recommend you check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I shoot the WB as well and I can't find a single complaint with it. You have advantages with each style but mainly it's a matter of oppinion for everyone. I shot a drop away for a while but realized too late that I had to adjust way too often when trying to tune my shot. I shoot the same dart like arrows with the WB that I did before with no moving parts. I'm not knocking the Drop aways but just letting you know what I prefer.

WEBFOOTII Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I have used Rip Cord on the last three and am very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobi Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I shot a W/B for 1 year then went to Muzzy Zero Effect for 4 years til I sold my Outback. Bought a Mathews XT and shot a Ripcord last deer season and just installed a QAD Ultra Rest HD over a month ago. And of all the rest I've used the QAD HD is my favorite by far. It contains the arrow completely and when at full draw you can let up and not have to worry about the arrow falling off or having to re- lock/cock the rest arm. It's easy to tune and stay tuned. My second choice would be the Muzzy Z/E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skooba Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have a Muzzy Zero Effect on mine. I also had one on my last 3 bows. I haven't had any reason to get any other kind because the Muzzy hasn't failed me yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest liv2hunt Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 If you are thinking about going with a drop away look into the Limbdriver by Vapor Trail. I have one on both of my bows and love it. They are basically as bulletproof as a dropaway gets,and any problems you may have can be fixed in the field. They also support the arrow longer than other dropaways which makes them more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUTDOORLIFE3 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 i def would recommend either the rip cord or the QAD ultrarest...both are great drop away rests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR44 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I went to the QAD Ultrarest HD and really like it. It was easy to install, easy to adjust, and easy to fine tune. I was impressed with the information on their web-site. Good Luck ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 QAD Ultrarest HD , this is the rest I would really like to try myself .. I've heard rave reviews on this rest ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianaboy Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 If you like the WB type rest try a NAP Quicktune 360. Same concept without all the bristles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Ripcord and muzzy are two that I have used and would recommend to anyone. The QAD ultra rest is a very popular one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born4it Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Muzzy Zero Effect drop-away. It's the only one that is forced away from the arrow shaft and doesn't depend on gravity to pull the arm down. If set up properly, there's nothing better. It's very quiet, and you know there won't be any contact. You can also turn the bow sideways, and the arrow won't fall out. Just my 2 cents! I've heard good things about the Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter as well. Take care, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I've shot a WB, Trophy Taker....and currently use a QAD....love this rest.

Guest deer_slayer67 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I have had no trouble out of my QAD ultra rest either, I highly recommend giving it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
