Default Rest and your opinion

What are your collective thoughts on the types of rest that you use now or have used in the past. My father love his bodoodle, but I have always used a simple forked rest. What are your thoughts on whisker biscuits vs. QAD vs. bodoodle vs. fall-away

I would recommend a drop away. They can make you more accurate because they are more forgiving. Personally, I use the Vapor Trail Limb Driver.

Go to the Vapor Trail web site. They have a slow motion video of the rest in action. Check it out.

I'd like to see the actual investigation that went into that statement, personally I'm calling BS. I started out as a big detractor toward the WB but after putting thousands of shots through both it and a few different drop-aways I can honestly say that I have seen no deplorable difference in performance nor accuracy out to at least 50 yards and have destroyed many an arrow by stacking them on top of each other with a WB at that distance.

This is just what I have found. I started out with the WB and then got into drop aways. I found that I was able to shoot much more accurately consistently with the drop aways than the WB. Remember, I said that they CAN improve your accuracy. I never made a promise that you could be shooting 280 with the WB and a drop away would get you a 60x 300 as soon as you slapped it in your riser.

The fact that you are able you are that accurate with the WB is extremely impressive to say the least. I was not able to get that level of accuracy until I switched to drop aways.
