both kinds of rests will work. it all depends on personal preference. a lot of guys like the whisker biscuit type rests for hunting because of the full containment. i personally like the drop away style rests the best. they are now making drop aways that are full containment as well. but with the biscuit, you could do cartwheels in your treestand and your arrow won't move. a lot of your setup should depend on what makes you most comfortable as a shooter/hunter.
