Biscuit vs open rests
 
I have been watching the some showswhere guys are using aWhisker Biscuit style rest rather than some sort of open system. I was told that the biscuit were not good because of fletch contact, etc. Any one have opinons on the pros/cons of these rests?

i know alot of guys shooting them. it opposite sides of the spectrum, the fall away to the biskuit. doesn't really make since. i think it's good for a hunting only setup. feathers may be a better choice.

Not true.

It's a great rest.

yeah, most people on here know i'm opposed to the WB, but that's me. Lots of guys swear by 'em and really like 'em....so it's up to you.

My brother consistently shoots high 270's-280's in his 3D league with a WB.

The only real arguement for a WB (IMO) is the fact that it captures your arrow. Supposidly this will help prevent your arrow from falling off the rest during a draw.

With that said, I'd rather push my arrows though air versus a brissle-brush. With the variety of drop-away's on the market, I'm sure you can find one that does what you want. I prefer the simplist, strongest possible designs. I like the Trophy Taker, simple, works, and won't budge once tuned.

A friend of mine gave me a whisker biscuit and he went to a drop away rest, I used it this past deer season and didn't have problem with it at all. Holds the arrow securely when sitting in my stand and flys true when shot. I like mine.
