Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

Hey guys wonder which one yall prefer? Pros/ Cons?

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

Drop away. We try to eliminate arrow contact with anything.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I agree. DROPAWAY ALL THE WAY!!!!!

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I like both... both are great rests! I would prefer the whisker bisket for a rookie!

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

drop away....the rest I use has all the benefits of the wb and the luxury of the drop away

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

x2. I have a bow with each on right now. Each have their place.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

Dropaway for sure, but couldn't agree more on the fact that a whisker biscuit is an excellent rest for beginners.....pop the arrow in and forget it....fail safe rest.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

My opinion is Drop Away but for begginer a wisker might be the best way to go.. we jus set up my gf a boy an we put a wisker biscut on it.. they both are great like everybody said.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

Get a drop away if you want your arrow dropping away when you draw on a big buck. Seriously, get a WB for hunting.;)

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

Drop aways are the only way to go IMO

This can be argued to death, but I guess it all depends on what types on hunting your going to be doing. Ive always liked drop aways, and never owned a whisker biscuit til this year and wont got back on my hunting bow atleast. Spot and stalk and other mobile types of hunting off of the ground the whisker biscuit is ideal atleast in my book.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I preferr the WB for hunting.NO moving parts.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I'm far from a rookie and I prefer the Whisker Biscuit for a hunting rest. No moving parts, rock solid, accurate and holds your arrow in place without it bouncing around in the rest. No need for mole skin, rubber cushions, etc...nothing. I remember back in the old days when my bow looked likeit was made of mole skin!:DMan we put that stuff everywhere, on the riser, the rest, the overdraw, you name it and it was covered with mole skin:). Not anymore.....My bow is a "mole skin free zone" now.;)

Both will work just fine, it all depends on how you hunt. Me, I never let my bow out of my hand when I'm hunting, I usually laythe bowacross my lap on it's side and I know my arrow will be in place no matter what I do. It's great for stalking to, I hunt in timber and sometimes it gets pretty thick but the WB keeps my arrow on the rest no matter what I bump into. Quite possibly the best hunting rest on the market today IMHO.

I prefer Drop aways!;)

I've hunted with one the last 8 to 10 years and never had an issue while hunting. They are not as new as you might think!;)

I now use Limb Drivers when it comes dropaway rests.

X2

I love my Limb Drivers though.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

This just about says it all.WB rocks!:D

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I hunt in the thick woods up here as well. And to date I have only hunted by walk and stalk. I still preffer the drop away arrow rest. Once the arrow is flying there is no contact with anything. I am not a rookie to bowhunting either. I first tried bowhunting way back in 1978 and my mind is made up on what I want for an arrow rest..

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I had a WB on my Switchback and I had no problems with it. I could see how if I did any spot and stalk hunting, the WB would be even better since you wouldn't have to worry about the arrow falling of the rest.

Not that I've got a Bowtech, I've switched to the Limb Driver. I have to say that I'm very happy with it...and it's been on since the summer. No problems.

They both have their place but I like the drop aways.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I just switched to WB on my new bow. I like it despite all the negatives I've heard.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I much prefer drop aways

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I think it really depends on your style of hunting. I have shot both, and I like both.. But for spot and stalk style hunting you Can't beat a WB! I know that there are containment style drop aways out there, but they are just not as quite as a WB. I will probably own nothing else ever.

I love my WB. If you are wondering about accuracy. Don't.. I shoot winter league andI consistantly shoot as good or better then guys with fall away rests.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I love my wb i like how you can set it and forget it. my only gripe about it is it is hard on the vanes. i like being able to put the arrow in and lay the bow down on my lap and not have to mess with my arrow when the moment of truth comes.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

i use a whisker biscuit right now and i hate it. your arrow doesnt get a proper rotation with it and when i gets cold out it makes noise when you pull an arrow out. im going to get the QAD Ultra Rest next week.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

Sounds like a tuning problem to me.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

if it gets rained on and then it gets below freezing, wont the WB freeze or am i off??? BTW i have used a WB and a QAD ultra rest and i like my ultra rest more, but just barely

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

i draw in too many awkward positions for a drop-away... not somethin i want to worry about. big fan of the hostage pro

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

WB I try to remove the chance of equipment failure whenever possible and this is as simple and effective as it gets.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

How do you figure that? An arrow doesn't even start to rotate until it's well clear of the bow on any set-up. Watch some slow motion video of bows being shot and you'll see. As far as noise taking the arrow out; why does it even matter? If you're taking the arrow out there shouldn't be anything around to scare off anyway.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I was worried about that since I do a lot of late season goat hunting where I might start at sea level in the rain and climb to 2000' where it's well below freezing. I haven't noticed any problem with the WB that pushing your thumb against it doesn't solve. The big problem is getting ice in the cams and on the sight. Besides, if your WB is freezing, your QAD probably will too.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I have shot Drop aways, and am trying the Hostage Pro right now, after a failure during a hunt.

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

I tried the WB and loved it until the weather wa sin that 0-20 degree range. It was extremely loud when drawing an arrow back so I went to a drop away. THis was probably 5 years ago and maybe they have improved the WB?

You guys that like them, ever have problems with the arrow making noise as it is drawn in cold conditions?

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

drop away all the way

faster
doesnt hurt your fletching
can be fully contained
easily tuned

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

Guys.......What KodiakArcher said is the absolute truth. If it gets THAT cold and icy other components on your bow will suffer before the WB does. I am in the process of hunting yet another Illinois late season and I've used the W/B for just about as long as it's been on the market and have yet to have a problem due to the cold temps.........getting the ice build up off my arrow is another story though.:D

RE: Drop aways or Whisker biscuits??
 

fall aways get my cvote everytime. I'll also cast a vote for the QAD HD
