Ive had 3 whisker bisquet rests on 3 different bows, killed alotta game w/ all of em. My WBs never let me down, very simple and very reliable, but to each his own. I do recommend a single pin sight as well though, again very simple and reliable & good for a beginner. If I was gonna buy a bow in the 400$ range, I would seriously look at the martin bengal, it has alot of nice features for the price.
