RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
If you are having problems ripping your vanes with the WB then there must be something wrong with the glue or something. I've been shooting my WB for 6 years now. I had one batch of bad vanes,they ripped off after 5-10 shots.After replacing themI have had ZERO vanes ripped and yesterday was shooting the last arrow left of my original dozen 6 years ago. It shot right with my brand new ones though the white. If you don't like broadheads cutting the WB bristles then do as I do and load it backwards, nock first and you will never have that problem, or replace it with the newer style WB for easy loading. No reason to spend money on a new rest if you don't need one, it could go to boots, scent, gloves, facemask, broadheads.....

Ditto on the WB. I've used one for the last 3 seasons...the old style. I never had a problem with my BHs cutting the whiskers. Now that I've bought a new bow, I have installed a Quick Shot WB and still, no damage to vanes. As far as speed goes, I doubt that the difference in speed between a WB and a Drop Away is enough to worry about. Anyone have any Chrony numbers? I'm guessing between 5 and 7fps. In the end it's up to you. Both rests will do well if properly tuned.

I've been shooting the whisker biscuit for4 years! Quick Tune/Nap prior to this. I do miss shooting my carbon tech Rhino's with helical 5 inch vanes however. NAP 2000 RG seems to be one to try. I have seen many drop's type rest dropped from mechanical failure tuning problem etc... over the years of 3D shoots. Latest one, was set without a string on cable. Dropped from the twang of the string, sound/vibration or pressure set it off I guess. At the end of the shoot, Matthad seen wear marks where as the shaft/blazers where making contact, like not dropping quick enough! I will check into the NAP 2000 RG. I have always liked there product and quality.
