Default Help with a drop away rest.....

The last few years haven't given me much time to bowhunt as seriously as I used to, and I haven't bought anything "new" for my bow in a long time. I feel like technology is almost passing me by lol. I've shot a whisker biscuit I guess ever since they came out and have no complaints, but I want to try a drop away this year. I believe it's probably more forgiving in the heat of the moment when shooting from no telling what kind of a position in a tree stand. What drop away rests do you guys recommend and why? I saw one the other day on TV that operated from centrifugal force instead of using a string, but I can't remember the brand name. It's new for this year I think.

I use a vaportrail limbdriver rest on my guardian. There are no cords attached to the cables, instead it is attached to your upper limb.

As you pull your bow back, the flex in the limbs draws you arrow up. As you release, the rest starts to go down. It is suppose to stay up 60-70% of your arrow flight.

I love it, easy to setup and tune.

I am very hapy with my QAD ultra rest. I love the full containment.

I am also very happy with my QAD. The containment is great. I've never had any problems from it since the day I got it.

I have never used any other, so I can not really vouch for that. But I can say that I probably will not use any other anytime in the forseable future. I couldn't imagine any rest being better.

I use a Trophy Taker. I used to shoot a Whiskler biscuit, but it was loud and ate my arrows. I've only shot it for about 2 months but it's definitely alot more arrow friendly (doesn't rip fletches) and its definitely a lot more quiet.
