Default RE: Question about rests

Both are great rests. Mostshooters who use the Whisker Biscuit do sobecause they like the fact that the arrow cannot fall off the rest once the arrow is placed in the biscuit. It is a “nock it and forget it” mentality. Those who use the drop away like it because once you release the arrow, the rest falls away allowing the arrow to depart the bow without its vanes touching anything, thus no friction to slow the arrow. A few draw backs to a drop away rest is that it makes the bow a lot less forgiving and they are a little hard to get adjusted correctly. If your bow is tuned and adjusted correctly, you will be able to shoot tacks with it. If your bow is not tuned or adjusted correctly, you will play hell trying to get your arrows to group. A few of the newer drop-away rests now incorporate the ability to capture the arrow so it cannot fall off the rest. It comes down to a preference issue. I would say, shoot both styles and decide for yourself which one you like.
