RE: Best 3D Rest???
They will not work for hunting,the spring steel has VERY LITTLE contact with the arrow(but still has the guidance) and the arrow could very easily fall off in a hunting situation but I would use it if I had to.I actually might in turkey season since my bow will be set up for target at that time.

The only reason "they" all use them is someone won with one. I agree 100% with mobow. Hitting exactly where you want is hitting where you want, the rest doesn't screw that up, the guy behind the bow does. My bow is not any more accurate or less accurate using a spring steel rest, dropaway, WB, etc....please. Just a while ago we had guys arguing that Vegas shoots have been won with WB and that's more critical and now we're being told we need a spring steel rest to win 3D, PLEASE![&:]

You can't tell me at extended ranges, that this is

is as accurate as this?

I'm not saying for hunting, I'm saying as in just being "target" archery accurate. I'm not wanting to hear "I can hold great groups out to 60yds with my Whisker biscuit and my Bear Whitetail 2." It's a great hunting rest, agreed. At extended ranges, there's no way it can be as accurate. I'm not talking the "average" person either.

RE: Best 3D Rest???
I really don't CARE which is more reliable. I asked for the no moving parts rest.
My fall-away has performed flawlessly.....and it has full containment. It's a great hunting rest....but NOT what I'm looking for in a rest on a bow set up STRICTLY for 3D.
Just my personal preference....and no other reason.

Matt/TN, personally I don't care for the WB but explain then how those that will, will argue of it's accuracy and how it wins indoor shoots. If it's accurate at 20 yards to win tournaments, what in your education says it won't be accurate further down range?

I'm pretty sure WB's are Jeff's favorite rest

This is only my opinion, but wouldn't you want to try to use as close to the same sight and rest as you will be usingfor hunting. I mean, if I want to be really proficient for a hunting situation, why would I settle for accessories of a different type on my 3D rig. (I am not a 3D shooter. Yet) After all, the shot I take while hunting will always be more important than a foam animal.

Remind me when the weather gets nicer, Matt, and I'll prove you wrong. Only reason I won't set it up now is because this time of year the wind blows almost 24/7 here.

I REFUSE to agree that a Whisker Biscuit is just as accurate as a drop away, or spring steel, or prong rest.

I think a good target archer could shoot good scores with any rest.
I just know VERY little about bow setups.....and I want one that I can adjust myself.
I need the dumbed down version![8D]

And yeah, I watched the video, that means absolutely nothing, I still want to hear your explanation to why it is dead on accurate at 20 yards but won't be further down range?
