Having used both the Biscuit and a few drop aways, I find some of the comments here pretty amusing, to say the least. Starting with the Biscuit, it is not a perfect rest. You do need to use stiff fletching like Blazers, Flex-Fletch, or Vanetecs. Softer vanes (like the ones on most factory fletched arrows) will wrinkle and eventually get damaged. Rough finished arrows will hiss a bit when drawn through the biscuit. You may lose 3 fps with helical fletch and a well tuned rest, much more than that, and it wasn't tuned properly in the first place. As far as accuracy, a bow with a whisker biscuit can shoot better than most archers. Even I can shoot 4" or less groups at 40 yards, and often much better if I am really concentrating on the aim. No moving parts to fail, and holds the arrow in hunting situations.

The drop aways (I have used the MZE, Trophy Taker, QAD, and Alpine Whisper Flyte) let you use any type of fletch you want. You can silence all of them with fleece or something similar. When set up and tuned, I think they are a little more forgiving, and shoot a little better at longer range. Some like the QAD are a little finicky about timing. The one I had worked well for a few months, then would sometimes "hang up" and give me fletch contact and a low shot. I didn't like that in a hunting situation. I eventually took the catch mechanism out of it, and it now functions like a Trophy Taker, and flawlessly. I am leery of the cable activated lift mechanism on dropaways, but they probably cause little problems for most users. Most drop aways need a type of arrow holder in hunting situations. Fletch clearance for some of them is not always easy to achieve.

All that said, I just got a bow that is new to me. It has only a 6 5/8" brace height, and came with a Bodoodle rest on it. I anticipated putting a drop away on this bow to make it more forgiving, but after shooting this morning, I can't see how changing the rest could possibly make it any more accurate. I think it is easy to get caught up in trying to prove that what we use is the best. Not sure why so many seem to have to say the alternatives are crap, but that is just how some people are. Biscuit, drop away, shoot through, all will work well if you know how to get the most out of them.
