Arrow rests for hunting
 

I have a standard fork-style rest and my arrow falls off from time to time. My worst fear is that it happens when I draw on a deer. I've considered a whisker biscuit, but I've heard they tear up vanes like crazy, which I don't want. I'm considering a drop-away rest with an arrow holder. I'm mainly posting this to get some outsider opinions. What does everyone else use that they'rehappy with?

For Full containment hunting rest the New Hostage rest from Bowtech is really worth a Look.;)

As long as the whisker biscuit is properly setup, it shouldn't tear off your fletching.

As for a drop-away, youcan't go wrong with the vaportrail limbdriver!

MeanV,

Do you have a review somewhere of that new Bowtech rest?
Seems like less contact and less fletching damage but same basic idea as WB.

I use a drop away and love it...have since they came out...and they also make a little rubber stopper that holds your arrow if your still concerned about it falling off...my arrow stays fairly stationary though...

That's it exactly!! I have been playing with the rest and it does a great job. While I prefer the Drop Aways my Limb Driver in particular. I can see thatthose who prefer the Full containment will get that with the Hostage plus no Fletching contact that is inevitable with the WB;)

I have a Ripcord Drop Away Rest. It fully captures the arrow when you raise the Launcher by hand. Sort of like cocking it. The arrow cannot fall of if you turn your bow upside down.

The QAD is made much the same.

Take a look at these 2.

I have to be honest. I've been shooting a WB for seven years now, because I had an arrow fall off of my rest while drawing on a nice 6pt standing broadside at 20yrds. I said "this will never happen again", and it hasn't!As previously stated, if installed properly, the WB is a great rest. Other than some slight waving, it doesn't affect my vanes at all,super accurate!I highly recommendthe Bisquit.;)

A lot of us in the forum tout the QAD Ultra Rest. Full arrow containment.....and no vane contact. Here's a photo of the rest.
