Default what is the better arrowrest?

Would a dropaway rest be better than a wisker bisquit? Or would a whisker bisquit bea better rest for hunting?

I'm not trying to cut you off short but if you'll do a search you should be able to find all you need on the subject.

IMO they both have goods and bads as well as advantages and disadvantagesover each other. Guys that shoot the WB will say it's the best and guys that shoot the fallaway will say it's the best but i agree with ts, they are both great!I've used them both and currently use a fallaway but that doesn't mean it's the best, it simply means it's the best for me. It's really comes down to personal preference.Try both if you can and then choose the one thatyou like best and offers what you're looking for in a rest and chances are that will be the best for you. Good luck.

Ive shot both, and currently shoot a QAD dropaway, you get the same total containment as the WB but increased consistency and accuracy. I just couldnt justify sacrificing so much speed w. the WB. Its tough to shoot a WB really consistently if your form isnt perfect or your making a difficult shot. The arrow can be torked by your hand easily.

What are you looking for in a rest? A fall away is a great option as is a containment rest. If you hunt deer out of a stand & shoot 30 yards or less then a containment rest can work great, it's also a good choice fora still hunter. If you tend to shoot higher speed setups & shoot at longer ranges the fall away is perfect. All around I like fall aways a lot better buts it's all personal.

I started out shooting a WB and it works great...however, I was going through vanes like there was no tomorrow! I then decided to switch to a drop away and I love it. With no fletching contact, I am not changing my vanes near as much. I have also read some reviews saying that the WB slowes down the arrow speed quite a bit. If you are a "speed-freak", then the drop away may be the better option.

I agree with HuntingEd. Used both and the QAD doesn't hurt your speed. Both are great. I have a very short draw (26")so that's why I went to the QAD.

I shot both. I recently switched to a drop away and love it. I get more speed, a true flight every time, same total containment, and more consistancy...I see no reason to have a WB anymore. If there are advantages to the WB, I don't know one.

I get zero speed loss with the B-2 whisker biscuit.

Its virtually silent to draw with smooth arrows and silent at the shot too.

I don't have to slice up moleskin to quiet the rest and there are no cords levers, springs, or magnets to set on the biscuit.

I can shoot any configuration of fletch I want off the biscuit. Three fletch, four fletch, six fletch, feathers or vanes, straight or helical all work with the biscuit.

And the best part is when the moment of truth comes the biscuit always works.

Good luck hunting! >>>------------>
