I own my own archery shop here in TN and have shot every rest there is and the biscuit is the best hunting rest yet I recommend it to all my customers I dont see how it blocks your view while shooting that theory is just plain wrong i dont see how this is possible I also consider it one of the quietest rest made as for fletching wear me or any of my customers havent haad any problems to be concerned about the biscuit id the best hunting rest in my opinion like I said this is just my opinion try one and I bet you buy one.
