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.

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.

i love mine and if my camera phone would send teh pic to my email i would upload the pic of my tightest group yet that i shot yesterday which was 1/2 in and came extremely close to robinhooding at 25 yards and all you have to do it put a dab of super glue on the fletching
