Default Thinking of ditching WB, opinion on sight, Please!

I use a Whisker Buiscuit now but my new Axis Obsessions are noisy when drawn through the rest. I like it but I'm thinking of switching.. Will be going on a Mathews Outback.

Two have really stood out to me.
The Trophy Ridge Drop Zone and the QAD Ultra pro Ld..

I'd like to have a rest that wouldn't drop my arrow when shooint from a tree stand and while drawing. Also need a rest that is really quiet while drawing back.

Any opinions on these two, anything better?

I ditched my WB and got a Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter. What a difference in my accuracy. As far as quiet goes put some moleskin on it and make sure you draw smoothly to keep your arrow from falling off the rest.

The Drop Zone is very nice. It is extremely quiet, drops very fast, easy to install and tune, and given the curved arm, it scoops the arrow up very nicely. Small piece of moleskin on the shelf, quiet as a church mouse and very reliable.

Right, I do like the idea of the Drop Zone rest.. BUT, the QAD you can lay it sideways, upside down or however and it holds the arrow..
I'm sure both are nice, just curious what everyone else thought.

When I look at the capture rests I wonder how they don't have contact issues. I need all the room I can get.

I don't plan on shooting upside down either or canting the bow to get a shot off.

If you're going to a fallaway don't overlook theGKF Mirage.It's an awesome rest and imo the best fallawayout there for hunting.It has good arrow containment with it's cup design and great arrow capture with it's scoop launcher. Itpicksthe arrow up and centers it everytime no matter where the arrow is lying on the bow shelf when you draw. It's also whisper quiet on the draw as well as on the shot which is a must for me in a hunting rest. I won't use anything else on my hunting bow.
