Biscuit vs open rests

I am still waiting for the drop-away biscuit
No doubt drop away rest are more accurate. WB is a simpler design with way less chance for failure.
It all depands what you want to do.

i use the buscuit and i have never had any problems with it, though i think my vanes are wearing out faster with it, because of the friction. might just be my imagination.

I put a bisquit on my new Equalizer. Its simple and foolproof. I'm sure it is capable of providing more accuracy than I am and frankly at 40 yds and under its all I need for hunting.

very reliable no moving parts to fail and no arrow to fall off the rest when buck fever sets in because that monster buck is going to give you a shot!!!!!!!cons, weres the hell out of your feathers dont know if its a good competion rest but if a guy won vagas with one i mite have have to rethink that!!!!!!!!!! if you mostly hunt you will find a rest that is better!!! but what the HELL do i know!!!!!!!!!

Nope never seen one on a target bow, though I dont shoot much target, except 3D and see plenty of them there. If I was shooting target would not even want one. However, IMHO, as a hunter, and speed is not an issue with me, or contacting the fletch, I will always have one on. The arrow still passes throough and doesnt make any noise that I can hear, not a deer though, but again, knocks em dead, and it is one less thing to worry about in the stand or blind. The arrow does not fall off the rest and if you hang the bow on a hanger or place it in a blind bow holder, chances are when you reach for it, it might slip off the drop away and it is one less thing to worry as the deer or Tom approaches. So, for me I will always have one on my hunting and 3D bows! [8D][8D][8D]

JLmoore - God Bless you guys in Iraq. Stay safe. As far as the biskit, I've never used one but my dad has one. He has to refletch his arrows every month because his vanes end up looking like ruffles potato chips. It's great for hunting but man it sure beats up on your arrows.
I use a QwikTune 2000 drop away with one of these arrow holders. It cost me 5 bucks. I can turn my bow upside down and my arrow won't fall off.

Thanks, we are doing our jobs for everyone back home!
I usually have to refletch after each season. It does play heck with feathers and my vanes kept stripping off, which could have been the way I did it more then vanes, but now that I can get my turkey wings into fletch, I do it and I can keep my arrows plenty fletched!
