Default Another WB question

I didnt see a question like this through the first 6 or so pages so i thought i would ask.Well i went to my local pro shop to get some arrows refletched(wanted brighter vanes so i could see arrow flight easier). But anyways while there i shot the switchback xt and trykon. Wow i loved the switchback, trykon was too heavy for me and the draw was much smoother on the switchback. Well anyways so i may very well be buying a new bow before the season starts, right now i have a 2 pronged rest, which i dont like. My friend has a whisker biscuit and it seems like an a really nice hunting rest. So if you could recommend any good ones that would be great. And also how much fps will it take off my shot if im shooting hellicaled feathers(sry dont know degree of helical) but yea any info would be greatly appreciated)

but it shows that the quick tune works off of a cable guard and the switchback has the cable roller.

Any speed lost by switching to helical will be made up in accuracy & in line penetration IMHO.

WB, Trophy Taker shaky hunter, Trophy ridge Drop zone.

Any of the newer drop aways tied or served into the down cable should work just fine.

I'm still interested in theNAP 360.

i didnt loose any FPS with feathers but with vanes my brother lost 2-3fps. i dont know if you should shoot anything offset more them 2degrees through the WB but i dont really know esp with feathers it would probably shoot fine. i think that the WB is far and away the bestHUNTING rest of all time.

I love the Drop Tine W.B . There are little tricks to make the Bisquit work well . For stalk style hunt it rules. Go with Bisquit , wraps and 2 inch Blazer vanes with right helical. Good luck

You will lose about 2-5 fps with the WB rest. I thik it is the #1 all time hunting rest. I use it on my Supertec and I could drop it out of a treestand and I don't think I would lose the arrow. LOL! A fall away is cool but Iuse theK.I.S.S. system and the WB is the best choice for hunting for ME.
