RE: Octane or Wisker Biscuit rest
if you like the full containment rest, look at the QAD.. I love mine and have not had some of the problems i had with the wb... The only thing is that the QAD is a little more expensive.

I recently bought the new Octane Hostage Pro to put on my new 82ndand ended up taking it back. It started to show signs of wear on the bristlesafter onlya few weeks of shooting. I've hadthe whisker biscuit on my other bowfor the last 3 years and I finally wore it out last season. So, I think for the money, the Whisker Biscuit is the way to go. It's a lot more reliable and seems to last a lot longer.
I've never had the fletching issues the other guys sometimes talk about. I've only shot Blazers and they seem to always hold up good for me.

I tried both Hostage's (Pro and regular). They would not withstand even half of the shooting it takes to wear out a biscuit. Get the biscuit - at least until Octane can make a Hostage that will last.

Biscuit all the way. I've had zero problems with mine since the switch to the brown and black biscuits.The original all black ones has issues (hard on fletchings,greatly reduced arrow speed) but the newer design is great. I've been shooting them since they first came out, made the switch to the newer biscuit when they appeared and I might just pick up one of the new frame design biscuit rests to see what they are all about. Many components have changed on my bows over the years but the Biscuit has remained steadfast as the only hunting rest I'll use. Until something better comes along it's a Whisker Biscuit rest for me.

The Octane Hostage Pro is obviously the best choice. All the advantages and none of the disadvantages associated with constant fletch contact.
The brushes have been upgraded on the Hostage Pro and rpl brushes are available and easily changed.
I have one on my Ross Carnivore and even though I prefer a dropaway (Limb Driver) the Octane Hostage Pro has performed very well.

Go with the hostage rest, I used a biscuit in the past but hated the fact that the fletchings contacted the bristles.

I was wondering how you were going to work "Limbdriver" into the answer.

I must admit I was impressed with the overall performance of the rest in both practice and real live hunting situations!
