Default RE: Arrow rests

ORIGINAL: The Rev



WB can't even compare with it... It's made by bowtech. You won't have any vane contact. You will be able to shoot different arrow dia. Does not make noise like the WB. For a containment arrow rest, this is what you want.. I have owned a WB, hands down go with the hostage, you won't be sorry.
I actually bought one of these rests to compare with my Whisker Biscuit. At first glance it looks cheaper being made of polymerand all but it seemed to be sturdy.

It's smaller than the Whisker Biscuit which I thought might give those who shoot larger vanes/feathers clearance problems but I had none with my standard height 4in vanes.

It does not hold the arrow in place like the W/B does, if bumped it will fall through the bristles and clank against the frame. Mole skin (provided) is a must if you use this rest. The W/B is a mole skin free rest and the arrow even if bumped will (as mentioned) reset itself back into position.

Shooting anything with more than a slight offset will cause the vanes to run into the bristles. You can rotate the arrow so that the leading edge of the vanes don't hit but then the trailing edge will. I shot both my standard 4deg offset with no problems but when I shot helical vanes they hit the bristles.

All and all depending on what arrows you use it seemed to be a decent rest but I will not be using it. It's no way near the rest a Whisker Biscuit is and I will probably end up giving it away on one of "BigJ's Late Night Giveaways" soon.

Stick with the Whisker Biscuit IMHO it's a better rest for what you will be doing.
