whisker bisquit vs....anything else
I have heard people say that they loose speed or dont get the same control from a whisker bisquit as they do from other rests.....especially with helical fletched arrows. Maybe the whiskers are catching or something....Well what about the hostage rest where you can allign your fletchings to not hit the whiskers. Is that any better? Or is there just no problem at all. Just wondering.

I had one a while back until the advancements of dropaways. I don't like anything touching my arrow, plus, I don't like the Bisquit because if blocks too much of the sight window. There are so many good drop away rests now that it does not make sunse to use anything else now IMO.

QAD Ultra-Rest Hunter. $50 and works every bit as good as the higher priced versions once properly set up. I've had one for the last 4 years and wouldn't have anything else on my bows.

I found a bunch of reviews that say that it makes some noise and is not as quiet as they say it is....Have you had any problems with that? A lot of people say it is great but a few have had this problem.

The bisquit is an outstanding hunting rest, and a very good target rest. Works great with offset fletch, and outstanding with offset Blazer vanes.
Your arrow will never fall off the rest (something my buddy claimed would not happen with his drop-away, until at full draw a strong gust of wind blew it off), it is extremely quiet, and so simple to set up and use even a caveman can use it.
Save yourself time, money, frustration. Get a bisquit and enjoy shooting.

I have the QAD HD and I used a small piece of fuzzy velcro on the shelf. It's just what I had, felt will work great also. The biscuit is a great rest but vane choice is limited. When I switched from my biscuit to the QAD I also switched to 3" quickspins instead of blazers.
