I have pretty much switched from prong rests to either the Biscuit or drop aways. While it is not really that much of an issue, I get tired of re-covering the prongs with some type of silencing material, which wears out quickly. I know some guys don't use anything on the prongs, and have tried a few rests that were quiet without it, mainly the HHA Techniglide type. That type of rest also holds the arrow pretty well, but for some reason I didn't get the best accuracy out of the rest. Never figured out why, but it wasn't fletch contact.

I have tried the Whisker Biscuit on several bows. I didn't care much for it in the beginning. When I started using an aluminum biscuit with carbon arrows, I started shooting much better. I notice very little difference in accuracy between the biscuit and my drop away. I guess the follow through is a bit more demanding with the biscuit, but the difference in not overly noticeable, and I've yet to see a rest that would allow you get away with a sloppy follow through. I have arrows fletched with Vanetec vanes that I know have been shot through the biscuit a minimum of 500 times, probably closer to 1000. The vanes have slight darkened areas, but otherwise are like new. I have some arrows with feathers on them that have similar # of shots, and the feathers are in good shape too. Not sure why so many are ruining fletching. I also fletch with helical vanes or feathers with no problems at all. Still, I would have to say that I prefer the drop away rest by a little bit. I think it is a little less particular about how perfect my grip happens to be, and maybe the follow through is not quite as critical. As I said, it doesn't seem to be an earth-shattering difference, but I do like the drop away a little, especially for 3D or target practice. More to go wrong when hunting? Yes, again there is a little more risk, but you also have a more wide open choice of arrows, where with the biscuit, I find myself avoiding arrows with a rough finish, like the Carbon Tech Cheetahs that I really like. Nothing wrong with a good shoot through rest, but the Biscuit and drop aways do have some advantages.
