Whisker biscuit or drop away rest

[robinhood2010]

Which is the most accurate and forgiving arrow rest and what would be the best carbon arrow for 26" draw and 60#.Any feedback or advice would be great thanks in advance.

The whisker biscuit is a great hunting rest but the drop aways are more accurate and easier on your fletching. The Octane Hostage is worth a look too.

Drop away. I have one and I love it.

Well, I love my Whisker Biscuit, and it's not hard on vanes if you use Bohning vanes.

As far as your arrows go, you can find arrow charts all over the NET for whatever brand is your favorite.

I went from a prong to a WB rest this year and I am happy with it...put the arrow on and forget about it! I will say I think the WB does cause you to think about your form more, being that the arrow is on contact with the rest longer but I have nothing to complain about the WB!

[HUNTINGMAN]

I've been useing a WB ever since they came out. They were a little hard on flechings at first but by useing the blazer veins I have not had the first problem with fletching. I can't say much about the drop aways because I don't have much experience with them, but what few times I have shot them they were a little noisy. For target shooting a drop away could be better, more forgiveing and a little more speed. For hunting I wouldn't use anything other than the WB.

i like them both....either is better than a prong style

Drop away!:cool2:

I have a drop away and I killed my first two deer with a bow this year. I like it, but i've had some trouble with the arrow bouncing off when I draw back. Do you research, I recommend getting the one that has the little cover over it it to keep the arrow from falling off. One other thing to consider is there is probably a great chance of mechanical failure with a drop away than with a whisker biscuit. Just do some research.

I had whisker on but at negative degrees outside a nice big boy heard my arrow as I pulled back and off he ran. Now I shoot with the QAD Ultra Dropaway. The best hands down by far. Keeps arrown there and no noise.

For arrows I like the PSE Radial X-Weaves. The 200's should work well from your setup if you shoot a 100 grain head. It should make up into a 330 grain arrow with Blazer vanes which will be heavy enough for a 60 pound bow. I shoot 29.5 inch 200's from my Quest Primal @ 60 pounds and get 287 fps. Broadheads fly well and it shoots flat enough that my first pin is 30 yards. If you're going to go with the biscuit another point is that every 2500 shots or so you'll need to replace the insert. One of my Trophy Taker drop aways has probably 20,000 shots over it and is still going with just normal cleaning.

Drop away

WB have there use.

Drop aways are more accurate. love my Trophy Taker drop away and use nothing else for years. Pronghorn is a good choice.

i prefer the drop away but if you like a WB take a look at the octane hostage. I think if I was going to shot something besides a drop away the hostage would be it.

Me too! I like how everyone still says they damage your vanes! LOL!!! :hammer1: Use a more durable vane, there is NO damage! Bohning Killer or Blazers are the best thing for WB users. I like simplicity or K.I.S.S., nothing to fail, no extra strings. I shoot out to 50 yards with my WB, haven't miss that target in the last two years!

I bought a new bow summer before last (Martin Saber) it was a huge upgrade for me I was shooting a Hoyt pro-vantage Tracer awsome bow took a few deer and even a huge hog but 1991 when I got it new so yeah it was time for an upgrade LOL. Anyway it has a NAP drop away rest I had never shot a drop away rest but after a few range secions I loved it and still do I will use a drop away from now on. I have shot wisker biskits they are also a awsome rest but if I was choosing I have to pick drop away. Just my opinion based on my experences

[Tony]

both are great rests.

i shoot nothing but the Trophy Taker drop aways. i find they work great on my bows. their very accurate, easy to tune and set up and allows shooters to shoot whatever fletching they want.

the whisker biscut is a very accurate rest as well. most like this style because of the full containment of the arrow and it wont fall off the rest. however it does like to eat fletching if you not shooting the right kind.

either way your going to get a great rest. good luck on your decision.

If you want accurate and forgiving, than you want a drop away.There are some dropaways out there that will give you the full containment of the WB without the drawbacks.

[Shaun_300]

Ever since I started shooting a compound I learned with a whisker biscuit and shot really well with it. Never tried a drop away rest.

I am using the whisker biscuit and yes it gives feathers ****! What would you recommend for fletchings with this rest Tony? Or anyone with experience on this for that matter! Thx

[doubledrop]

I use a whisker biscuit and i love it. I have had people tell me it could be a bad thing if you are hunting in bad weather such as snow and ice because of ice build up on it. I personally have not experienced this but either one will do you just fine.
