RE: whisker vs drop away
 

Ihave never shot a WB but I do shoot an Ultra drop away rest. I love it. It's more accurate and makes my bow shoot alot flatter. I was able to start using one pin for 20 and 30 yrd shots.

There is no way to compare them to each other. They work completely different on the shot. The drop away there is no pivot point and the wb there is. If the bow riser moves on the shot before the arrow clears the rest it will effect the shot because the arrow still riding the rest and the farther your rest is away form the pivot point ( straight over your hand on the handle are the hole in the riser is on the pivot point ) more it will be off the target.

I have shot both the WB and a Few Drop aways. The WB is great, easy to tune rest, but unless you are stalking 90% of the time I dont see why you couldent use something other than the WB to get back your 2fps. But the 2fps sould be the least of your concerns. The WB can and I have seen it cause dammage to veins and feather after a time, and the bristles to wear out on them. I switched to the Muzzy Zero Effect rest and have not looked back. This rest is hated by many, because it does take a lil patients and know how to get it right, but, once it is right it is going to stay there FOREVER! It is not fully containment, but if you are in a shooting position while drawing you bow the arrow WILL NOT fall off of this rest and it is also really forgiving. Thats just my 2 cents.

I like the QAD Ultra-Rest, holds the arrow in place, words like bread and butter and I do not have to buy any replacement biscuits.

Anyone have an old WB they want to get rid of? I've been think about getting one. I was told to check at some Pro Shops to see if they got any used ones to sell. Not sure of many shops in my area.

drop away all the way dont like any thing thats going to touch or mess with my flechings

RE: whisker vs drop away
 

I was watching a hunting show the other night, the guy had to slightly lean to the left as he drew his bow, arrow fell off of his rest (THAT's why they call them Drop Aways!) the 150 inch buck trotted away. I thought to myself "I bet he wishes he had a Biskit".
That's all that I need to know.

Well, I got my QAD Ultra Rest in last night and mounted it on my 2005 Hoyt Protec. Before removing the Whisker Biscuit, I took careful measurements of the where the arrow lies relative to the bottom and side of the arrow shelf - because the bow was tuned perfectly with the WB. Pretty easy deal to set up. It was a little noisy until I attached the camo mole skin they provide. Went out this morning and shot about 50 arrows. Point of impact was right where it was with the WB - and, although this bow shot well with the WB, it shoots even better with the QAD. I was playing with deliberately torquing my grip, and am convinced that this rest is more forgiving than the WB. Right now, I don't see a downside to the switch. We'll see what time in the field reveals.

Never shot a WB but I do like the concept. I use a Zero Effect. No contact, no noise, no possible chance of failure, no worries afield. I agree speed is not really a huge point either way. Most folks that shoot a MZE don't go back to anything else. Good luck.
