As soon as they came out with the full containment drop away it made the whisker buscuit obsolete. I couldn't believe how many folks were bustin on drop aways last year and claiming that the buscuit was the best.

I don't think it made the W/B obsolete, I still have yet to find a containment system on a drop away that works as good as the biscuit containment. Most (if not all) are too loose and the arrow flops around in the rest. Others you have to physically stick the arrow into a holder and have repeat this every time you draw and let down.
I tend to agree that a drop away rest is probably a more accurate platform than the biscuit but I also think both styles of rests are more accurate than 99% of the archers out there. We as archers (humans) tend to blame the equipment for our failures instead of the true reason.
Above all that I think the Biscuit's design is what I like most about it. It's simple, sturdy and basic. It requires no maintenance or additional materials (mole skin etc...) it's pretty much a "put on and forget" component.
I might even give a drop away rest another try, it's been about 3 years since I last put one on one of my bows, maybe new technology has improved them over the last fewyears.......my hunting bow?......Not a chance! The biscuit stays on that till something better comes along.
Try the Ripcord super glue yourself some felt around it and BAM you got yourself a great rest with containment!
