Hey guys, I know this question has been asked a 1000 times. But I bought a 2007 Reflex this spring and it had a drop away rest(fork style)on it. Before that I had about a 92 model hoyt for all of those years. So, really made a step up this year in speed. Our season starts on the 18th of October. I have been shooting it for over a month now just practicing and having fun. Well, at times my arrows will kick like a horse. After shooting themfor a while I noticed that my down fletching is getting beat up pretty bad. Got to looking and my down fletching is coming through and the down fletching is hitting the base of the drop away, where the forks of the rest mount....

For the more bow experts is my nocking point down too low, but it is set square? Is this normal with this style of drop away? Also, what is the best arrow rest you suggest? What about whisker biscuits? I have never used one, but have a buddy that likes his? With this new bow I have fell back in love with shooting bow, and would like to do more of it for fun. Suggestions would be great. Will keep it for this season obviously, but want to shoot more after season for fun to the point of competition. Thanks

Shoot cock feather up...problem solved

Thanks Austin, realized that after I openned my mouth on the forum. Sometimes the frustration clouds your thought process. Thanks

I use a Whisker Biscuit. I am very happy with it. It is reallyquiet and once the arrow is nocked, your set, no worries about it falling off.

I shoot a kaz-away. Full contain, once the arrow is on there, you really dont have to worry about it. just like the biscut, but it is also a drop away. Freakin love that rest....

I'd switch to a QAD Pro rest HD I know noone has ever had an Issue with it, I can show you pictures however of the wear and tear that a Whisker Biscuit puts on vanes...

Idk Whisker biscuit for an entery level bowhunter is more that adequate.

thats what i use and i love it... my uncle had a fork rest and he had his arrow fall off at full draw on a buck twice but i dont have that problem

Thanks guys on the opinions... For me more then anything is man they can get expensive. I have enough inconsistancies in my stance and release that I can't have the problem in the rest kicking my arrows. I am taking notes on all of the suggestions and will take a look at them. So, keep the opinions coming I appreciate every suggestion and opinion.

To me, and you Whisker Biscuit guys tell me if I am right, they just don't look long term and more a hunting rest. Looks to me that the "brushes" woudl bend,cause resistance, and weakenor damage to where the arrow would change its resting spot? Hunting is 90% of purpose of having a bow, but I also would like something that gives me target accuracy as well. I am willing to sacrifice my arrow staying on the rest when I am stalking, or having to nock the arrow before I draw on a deer for longevity and a good target rest. If I am lucky I will flig 1 or 2 arrows hunting, but when I am not hunting I may flig 500 arrows a year just shooting in the backyard. Just my ideas on the situation.

I appreciate fellas, I am a bow hunter for many years, but with this new bow I am really wanting to start enjoying it a lot more. Thanks
