Default Biscuit guys(rest question)

Im getting back into the compound world since I found a great shape Hoyt Vectrix for sale. Are any of the biscuit rests better than others? I shoot 2inch blazers also so no worry about messing the vanes up. This bow is mainly for hunting and backyard.

Im just not a huge fan of the drop aways.. simple is better. I know the drop aways work great, but I always had bad luck with arrows falling off the rest

That's the reason I use a biscuit. I don't know if there are any better than the others, but I use the one where you can drop the arrow in from the top rather than the solid circled ones.

the deluxe is the best im pretty sure. it is micro adjust, and as stated above u can load from the top instead of the middle. check out the hostage and hostage pro by octane too. they have full containment but the fletchings wont hit.

I have been using the WB for a number of years. As a ground hunterwith stalking a primary method of huntingit's been the perfect rest for my usage.

I could careless about fps loss or fletch wear, it works damn well in my hunting situations and that success/stat isall that really matters to me.

I use a WB but will be trying out a rip cord drop away next year, no other reason than to just try it out. I have not had any problems with a WB.

Spraying it with silicone (spray it now for use in Oct/Nov!)repels water and also makes it quieter....

I prefer the Droptine model with the QS B2 Bisquit.

I use the WB deluxe and works great, i got all my friends to switch. Use the 2inch vanes as well. I shoot a Switchback XT so not to worried about losing 2fps. The rest is great for deer hunting. the only drawback would be if you like to shoot long distance then its not as accurate as a drop away. but if you dont take 50yard shots on regular its the best rest going.
