Both rests will work fine as long as you set them up correctly. Some have said that the Whisker Biscuit is less forgiving due to the fletchings comming into contact with the bristles and thus bad form will cause bad shots or something in that order. Well remember this.... ANY bad form will result in bad shots no matter what rest you use.
Lets look at the basics of how these rests work. A drop away will fall down away from the arrow when shooting however until the arrow comes off of the string it will still be effected by bad form,even if there is nothing touching the arrow but the string, because after all the string is attached to the bow and that's inYOUR hand!
The Whisker Biscuit works slightly different in that there are bristles all around the arrow as you release. The opening is larger than the arrow soit's not squeezingit. The arrow will contact the bristles slightly due to the flex of the arrow as it is being thrusted forward by the string, but this does not seem to do anything to hamper it's flight. If you see one in slow motion you will know what I mean, the arrow oscillates the same as is does from a drop away.
Alsoif yousee one being used in slow motion, you will notice that the vanes/feathers are almost
half way through the biscuit when it leaves the string.Only about two inches of the fletchings are still in "contact" with therest after it isleaves the string. This two inches is the difference between the two rests because any movement of the bow with the arrow still on the string will amount to poor shots.
Now the most important part.......from the time youtrigger your release to the time the arrow leaves the string only takes fractions of a second, faster than you can blink. So to say that the Whisker Biscuit is less forgivingfor me is very hard to believe because inbothinstances the arrow is still attached and still effected by form, we are talking about two inches of contact after the arrow has left the string and in that little millisecond of timeall three vanes/feathers are
evenly passing through.
Given this and the fact that many.....manyarchers shoot the Whisker Biscuit just fine should let you know that it is indeeda very easy rest to shoot accurately.
I have used them since they first came out and have never noticed even the slightest difference in accuracy between it and my old rest (Prong style). What I have noticed are many good features from a quality, sturdy and consistant rest.
Either one you choose will work just fine as long as you do.
