BearClaw Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I currently use an NAP Quick Tune 800 and am thinking of upgrading to a Whisker Biscuit. Reviews I've read said I will have to switch to blazer vanes so the don't chew up the 4" ones I use now. What does everyone use? I'm not sure about drop-a-ways? Are they reliable or noisy? What's the quietest one out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodtrails Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have a QAD Ultra Rest. So quiet, so reliable,so durable. Can't go wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Archer 01 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 QAD ultra rest pro. Great rest!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTPROFamily Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 A Muzzy drop Away rest is the best out there. Randy has used it for 6 years and never has had a problem. it is a total drop away rest. Your arrow will never fall off either. Randy proves that by laying down and shooting it. You can use any vanes or no vanes because there is no arrow to arrow rest contact at all.

Wobbly_Alaska Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 i switched from the whisker to a drop away last year. and am not looking back.. i also stripped all my vanes and put FOBs on the wife and kids still use the whiskers, with good results but your really limited to about 40 yards with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 i switched from the whisker to a drop away last year. and am not looking back.. i also stripped all my vanes and put FOBs on the wife and kids still use the whiskers, with good results but your really limited to about 40 yards with it I have to kindly disagree with this statement...I practice at 60 and 70 yds, and consistently get good groups with my WB. I just love not having to worry about my arrow falling off when i am stalking through the woods... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbly_Alaska Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 perhaps i should quantify that statement.... i found my groups opening up on a regular basis. beyond 40 yards. however i don't hunt from stands so do not carry a bow knocked;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyo bull Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 If you want to upgrade go to a drop away. Limbdriver, Ripcord, QAD will all be an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I just changed from a quick shot style biscuit to a QAD HD drop away. I only did it looking to improve my groups which weren't bad really. I could group well enough out to 60 yards, I was just looking for any advantage I could get. The other full capture rests like the biscuit have brushes that wear down quick. I shot it for three years now with the same goldtip arrows that have vanetec 4" vanes and never had a problem. Also, if you bow is tuned properly you really won't see much of any loss in speed from what I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I use WB's on my hunting bows, the only reason I would change from them is to upgrade to the new WB that they came out with this past fall. I was out shooting both of my hunting bows yesterday and they are still dialed in. The WB is reliable, accurate, and easy to tune-my neighbor and I put this rest through the wringer with every kind of test we could and even freezing it to see what results we got. That was four years aog and they are still on my bows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 i havent tried any of the newer rests, mostly because im shooting Trophy Taker drops aways. i have them on all my bows and i feel there pretty much bullet proof. my theory is once you find something that works, why mess around with anything else.

RangerClay Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I have a QAD Ultra Rest. So quiet, so reliable,so durable. Can't go wrong! Yep! QAD ultra rest pro. Great rest!! Yep Yep! I just love not having to worry about my arrow falling off when i am stalking through the woods... That is the beauty of the Ultra Rest. watch this, http://www.qadinc.com/c-5-.aspx I started with a WB and I really liked how it contained my arrows. However it ruined the 4" vanes on my arrows. I bought a Bitz and re-flethed all my arrows with Blazers. That solved the problem but I still did not like how the WB had contact with the fletching after the shot. I switched to the Ultra Rest and got drop away accuracy with full containment before the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bow hunter steve Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 i use a hostage arrow rest and its been on my bow for 2 years and i shoot great with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearClaw Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I finally switched to the QAD Ultra Rest HD and it shoots really good. My groups have improved and the bow seems quieter and less 'slap' when I release the arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cray8705 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I was using a NAP quicktune and was going to switch to a whisker biscuit until people on here recommended the QAD ultra rest. The QAD was really easy to setup and i've been shooting lately and love it. It keeps the arrow contained like a whisker biscuit would but it is a drop away so you don't have to worry about the fletchings getting beat up. Go with QAD for sure.
