I'm going with the whisker biscuit, but which one?
Okay, so I've decided to try a whisker biscuit and will head over to the proshop sometime next month to have them help me put it on and try it out/tune it.
But, I'm looking through the Cabelas catalog and it looks like when I get to the pro shop my choices will be the original WB, the original quickshot, the droptine quickshot, and the deluxe quickshot. I'm willing to invest up to the $55 it takes for the deluxe if its worth it, but can anyone help me decide which I should choose? What are the pros/cons of each?

I am not a fan of the whisker biscuit forpersonal reasons, but they are a excellent rest. My advice go to a pro shop and try a few out on your bow and see which one you like the best, then buy it!

I elk hunt with a few guys that all use WB's and they swear by them. They all use different ones, so perhaps it all comes down to personal choice more than anything. All three of these guys are top notch archers, and one is a former national champ 3D shooter so the WB must not be too bad.

Get the Deluxe QS, it has vertical adjustability that the others don't, and this will come in handy when you are tuning!! And make sure you get either the aluminum or carbon style, depending on which arrows you shoot!

All models function the same and will shoot the same. Just make sure you get a newer style biscuit that has the black fibers at the bottom and brown elsewhere. You now have several sizes of biscuits (hole size) to choose from. Get the one that offers decent clearance for your arrows. It's not a huge issue, since you can remove the biscuit and make it slightly larger by bending it.
As for model, the Deluxe offers veritcal adjustment AND a set-screw to keep it from twisting around the mounting bolt.

That sound like a contradiction to me. Could you explain?

The biscuit is hard on fletchings, no matter what type you have
they do slow your arrow down some.
I have heard storys about them freezing up incold wet weather, but I know that could happen to some dropaways too
We really don't want to go down the WB discussion again, do we?

Buy the delux version with the vertical and horizontal adjustment marks. I had mine tuned in 6 shots. Easiest to tune and most reliable hunting rest on the market. After tuning mine properly I purposely shot the same arrow 150 times with absolutely no damage whatsoever to a Blazer vaned arrow. If you are worried about losing 1-3 fps because of this style rest then take off your string silencers and replace them with an STS and you will be actually faster with this setup.
