Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

Which do you shoot with and why? I have a wisker bisquit and I am thinking of going to a drop away. I have the old style WB and everytime I place a broadhead in it some of the wiskers get cut off. I am also having trouble keeping blazers on my arrows, which I think is due to the WB.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

Muzzy Zero effects mainly because all they say about it is true. I love it

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I had a WB when I hunted from the ground a lot. I since switched solely to treestands and use a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone...absolutely LOVE it. It is a little more expensive than the Muzzy..so it $ is factored in, go with what works for your budget.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I use a qad, love it

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

Me to. Full containment in a drop way. Best of both worlds. I'm like many people who switched fro the WB to QAD.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I just put a Trophy Ridge DropZone on my Switchback and it was the best purchase I have made for it. The Biskit was tearing my fletching and slowing the arrow. I have also picked up some accuracy with the DropZone too.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I currently use a WB but I am actively shopping for a drop away - I am torn between the QAD and the Muzzy Zero-Effect.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I use both. My Parker has the Biscuit and my BT has a QAD Ultra. I like the QAD because I don't loose speed due to my short draw. It is really personal preferrance. Both secire your arroe very well.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

QAD Ultra Rest here as well, I put it on about5 months ago and love it. As others have mentioned you have the best of both worlds in Arrow containment and Velocity drop away. It's definetely a great rest!;)

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

In the past, I used a WB, but I didn't like the fact that I was going through vanes like there was no tomorrow! It seemd that I was having to re-fletch arrows more than I was shooting them (exageration). I then switched to a drop away for that very reason, and I don't think I would go back to a WB. I have the NAP 2000 RG and I really like it. Mine came with an instructional dvd to show you how to set it up...it doesn't get any easier than that!

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.....

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I've had my whisker biscut for about 2.5 years. I've never had to replace a vane. I love mine, but my cuz just got a drop away and likes it.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

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.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

FLOutlander, How do you like your S-coil? I'm thinking of picking one up. Did you notice a difference in vibration or sound right away?

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

wb..i love it..don't think i'll ever change..quiet draw, didn't notice any arrow speed lost..(very minor)..i shoot quiet often and it's a lil tough on fleches,but man i love this thing..i shoot deer from the from the ground or treestand as close as 8 yds..to 35 yrds ,.no fuss..but, it's really personal prefrence..

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I've used the WB for the last 3 sesons and love it.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I also have a WB and blazers . the blazers are not coming off it is just leaving black marks on the blazers . I'm going to switch to a drop away just not sure wich one yet

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

oh no....not again:eek:;)

Throw those whisker dooos and them dropper awayers in the trash and toss em off yr Knuckel!!...:D:D:D

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

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.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

make the sqitch to a drop away you won't be sorry . Nothing to interfear with your arrow or fletching

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I shoot a W.B. - and love it. I shoot blazer vains. I have never had any problems with it. B.T.W. mine is the newer one with the quick loading slot.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

What drop away do yall prefer that wont set me back a arm and leg?

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I use WB Droptine QS, works for me...

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

Bf used to use a whisker buiscut and now uses a trophy ridge drop away and loves it. I hear whisker buiscuts can cut your spead down. I just got what ever came with my bow and am looking into a drop away also.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

Another alternative is the NAP 360, all the benefits of a WB and none of the drawbacks. Personally I'm using the NAP QT 4000 drop away.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

It is a matter of preference. I have been using the WB for 3 years now and love it. I, also, have no problems with the vanes.

RE: KodiakArcher
 

so the quicktune drop away 4000 is a good choice ? I had my eye on that are the 2000RG.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I shoot a muzzy aero effect. I love it, it has improved my accuracy and is extremely forgiving to any wrist movement upon the shot. IMO the wisker biscut is fine but I have heard the samething from people that use them. It tears their fletching up and if you shoot allot it will not hold up. The whiskers begin to wear causing poor arrow flight. A good drop away rest is the right way to go. It will depend on what kind of $ you want to spend.

I'm with Illinois Buck Hunter!! I used the Whisker Biscuit and it was giving my fletchings hell. I now use the Drop Zone and I'll never use another rest!!

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

drop away

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I went from a Wisker Bisquit to a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone and would never go back. Then I found the Vital Bow Drop by Vital Bow Gear. This is one awesome dropaway rest. For some reason, you don't hear too much about them. They are a little pricy but worth it. Vist their site: www.vitalbowgear.com/arrow_rests.cfm

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I shot a trophy taker fall away but I couldn't keep my arrow on it would fall off and make a little noise. I have since switched to the wb. one main reason I like it is because ther are no moving parts which equates to less things that can go wrong. my cousin had a fall away that wouldn't... well fall away. needless to say he went that day and bought a wb.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I shoot 3 inch groups at 20 yards. Not an impressive number but then again, that's with my bow horizontal to the ground. Do that with a dropaway.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

i had wb and now bought a tr drop zone i picked up 10 ft per secwith the chrono reading and love it.and i can now shoot with quick spins and don't have to spen alot on vane due to getting ripped off from the wb.
anyone wants i have a new tr drop zone 3 pin camo with led light make offer.

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I use a WB and love the stupid thing compared to any rest I've ever used.

But.. it is hard on my fletching, and slows my already slow arrows some. But I gladly traded that for not having to worry about dropping arrows off the rest in the treestand. I've toyed with going to a drop away, but didn't want to give up the 360º range of motion without loosing an arrow.

NOW that I've learned about the QAD and it's containment, I may be switching when the seasons done. My question is, what kind of noise do these things make? (not that my WB is quiet)

RE: Wisker bisquit or drop away?
 

I've shot a Whisker Biscuit for three years. I have only had one vane torn up by it, and it was my fault because it wasn't on straight when it dried (I do my own fletching). Other than that, it has been flawless. I measured it at losing only 6-7 fps from a standard QuickTune two prong rest to a WB QS. If your vanes are being torn up, or you're losing more fps than I mentioned, then you do not have it set up correctly. Paper tune your bow. I'll bet that if your vanes are being torn up, you have a massive tear in the paper because the rest was not properly set up. Do not totally trust the guy at the bow shop. Paper tuning doesn't lie when it's done right.
