Early In, I too was a fan of the WHISKER BISCUIT but after trying the QAD rest I can assure you it's alot better, faster and more quiet than the Biscuit. I think most of these people (not many)who are having problems with the QAD probably don't have it set up correctly, that's why I let my local Archery Pro set mine up, since he's put many of them on other peoples bows. I have no problem with arrow clearance and/or noise. You oughta give it a try, you might like it...........I do. Take care, Ridge.
