Whisker bisquit is a great rest! Look how long its been around. Why would you think so many people use it? Simple because it works great and easy to use. The whisker bisquit is what made Carolina archery. I know its not their sights Its the really a simple rest, once its tuned right. Dont get a complicated rest for an 11 year old. Thats pretty young , never to young to start shooting a bow! Good luck!
