neck:

It depends on what type of fletching you utilize. I had a WB on two of my bows.....and it warped the vanes pretty badly (ESPECIALLY quick spins). Blazers....not so bad.

I switched to the QAD Ultra (like germ mentioned). I can flip up the rest arm on stand without having to draw the bow. It' s a full containment rest....so I don't lose anything in that capaciy......and I don't have to worry (either with cause or without) about fletching contact.

Neck.. or Jim...

I have found great accuracy with little or NO wear and tear on my fletching while shooting Blazers.

I shoot the WB and have for the past three seasons now and despite some opposing arguments I have been very successful. The WB suits my style of hunting and I admit is not for everyone. I hunt from the ground often when I need too and the WB helps my arrow to stay in position when I am out of position. It 'helped' me take a nice 3 1/2 yr. old this past fall on a stalk.

Hunt with what you have confidence in...

Duke:

That's a great review. The ONLY reason.....and I've been through the ringer on this one.......I switched from a WB.....is due, really, to the arrows I shoot, I guess. When my Radial X-Weaves (Carbon Force) are drawn across the black bristles.....they make a noise. It's discernable.....by me and ESPECIALLY (hint-hint) by those entities that hear better than I. If I utilized different arrows????? Who knows? I don't. I do know that my son's friend had some arrows that felt "coated" and they made NO noise in the WB.

I just switched because I wasn't willing to switch arrows. Your reasoning makes perfect sense, for you.

BTW.....Happy New Year, teammate, and congrats again on an outstanding year.

Another vote for the WB.I like the simplicity of it.

I also use Blazers and have no problem with warping.

RE: What kind of rest should I buy?
 

Thanks Jeff... Happy New Year to you and yours too.;) Especially your wife.

I shoot aluminum still. Every year I think about switching to the carbon. Every year I don't. Their is still little noise when I draw, but it's never been a problem. In fact.. at that point it's too late..:D

WB for me as well

RE: What kind of rest should I buy?
 

Why switch from the Whisker Biscuit? It's hard to beat simple. You will never drop an arrow off of the rest and you can set your bow on your lap. I will never switch myself.

RE: What kind of rest should I buy?
 

By the way, it used to warp my fletching but it doesn't anymore. I switched to the new kind and it doesn't seem to affect them anymore. Don't ask me why. It must be the new bristles.

RE: What kind of rest should I buy?
 

Thanks everyone! I looked into alot of rests but stuck with the WB.
