I just bought the Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter rest. I bought mine for $65 shipped. You can get one on Ebay for $45.

I bought a quick tune drop away 2000, about 1 year ago. I love this rest. I have consistent groups and the fletching wear is very minimal. I used to have the whisker biscuit, i liked the rest when shooting from the treestand but when shooting 3d, i found the groups when down hill after about 30 yds. With the dropaway 60 yds. i am very impressed with the groups. Hope this helps. Good hunting.

Tom

p.s. I think it cost about about $55
