Default Anyone still shoot a prong style rest?

I've had it with fallaways, and my whisker biscuit I can't shoot my flu flus through. I'm going back to old faithful. Anyone else still shoot one.

Yes I do! Never had a problem with it either. I was actually looking at switching to the trophy taker shakey rest this season.

I've never tried it but I thought that the biscuit was flu-flu friendly?

Yup... I still shoot the tried and true classic, NAP Quiktune 1000 prong rest. Hey, it works... As the saying goes, "if it ain't broke..."

Yep- I went back to prongs about 1 year ago after seeing all the headaches the dropaways give people.

Shot the Hd since it came out, no issues.. Good Luck with it, I think you'll like it..

To answer the question, nope.. Gave those up and have not looked back. Nothing wrong with them, just products I like better..

I have a Platinum Premier Micro, a good rest, had one on a bow I just sold as well. I also have TT's and other rests, but those Golden Key Micro's are GREAT rests.
