I am tempting to try a Whisker Biscuit but not sure how much accuracy and noise I will give up.
You will lose ZERO when it comes to accuracy with the W/B. It's more accurate than 99% of the shooters on this board (including me) will ever hope to be. If you do your job it will do it's.

As far as noise when you draw, yep it makes a slight sound andas I understand it, some arrows make more sound than others although I've yet to use an arrow I thought was loudby any stretch of the imagination in all the years of using a Whisker Biscuit. I've shot many many different arrows over the years. I've useddifferent types of aluminum and carbon alike. Fromcheap ones to expensive ones, coated ones, bare carbon...you nameit none were too loud to the point where I felt uncomfortable hunting with them.

In all the years I've hunted with itI have yet to spook a deer with the sound it makes. In fact if you pay close attention, your huntingclothes will probably make more spund (especially in cold weather) when you draw thanyour bow does.

Does it make a sound when you draw? yep, mine makes the slightest ofhsssssss when I draw.........very faint, but it's never been a worry in the least. You need to remember your ear is only a few inches away from the rest/sound. Step back a few feet and you won't even notice it.

Even with all of the "perceived" cons, IMO the Whisker Biscuit is still by far the best hunting rest on the market today and I'll stick with it till a better one comes along......the Hostage ain't it.
