Default Whisker biscuit vs. drop away

Never had any problems with the whisker biscuit but am considering a drop away. Kindaskeptical though. Just looking for some goods and/or bads of the drop away rests...

I have an APA arrow rest that is fully enclosed and a drop away. The best of both worlds! Needless to say, I love it.

Duck,

I am using the Vital Gear Kaz Away 07 fall away rest. You get the best of both worlds. Arrow is secured by two arms prior to pulling the bow, but the arms retract as you pull back the bow string. A lot of archers around here really like this type of rest. You don't see many Whisker Biscuit rests used around here.

I used to have a WB when I did a lot of still hunting. It was great when I walked through a thicker patch of woods.

Now that I hunt solely out of a treestand, I won't use anything but aDrop Zone. Freakin' love it.

Timing issues are the biggest problems reported by drop-away users. However, when propery set-up they are quieter and deadly accurate.

I shot a WB for years. This year I tried a few drop away rests, ended up with the Limbdriver. It is the best rest I have ever had my hands on!!
