I used to use a whisker biscuit. I though it was a decent rest. I switched to the full containtment QAD ultra rest. This rest beats the heck out of the biscuit. This is only because i really like using full helical on all my arrows. I just seem to get better broadhead flight...But the biscuit never did me wrong, my bow shot great and i killed deer.

I've had 3 of 'em, still got 2. I've had probably a good few thousand shots through each, and probably have a few more before I drop in a replacement biscuit. I would buy a higher-end model than the original- the skinny round shaft on the originals bend. The big square ones on other models don't. You'll probably have shorter vane life but vanes are cheap and made to be worn.

I would stay with QAD and Trophy Taker if I were you. I just think that a rest should not touch the arrow when it is released. My opinion

I use the whisker biscuit and i love it. I had it on my old bow and put it on my new Z7 and it shoots great. Might take a few fps off but imho it's worth knowing I can't knock the arrow off and watch the buck run away after hearing the arrow fall off the rest. Lots of shots through mine and it's just first starting to show wear from the vanes passing through.

i had a whisker biscuit on my bow for a few years... and i loved it. i shot it with blazers and never had a problem. it contained the arrow perfectly and was quiet on the draw, and i shot a few deer with it. I switched to a ripcord dropaway a couple of years ago... and i dont think im lookin back. The dropaway is a full containment rest, so its really the best of both worlds. It was about 30 bucks more than the whisker biscuit but its worth it. my groups did shrink quite a bit with the dropaway. Thats not to say that the whisker biscuit wasnt accurate but the dropaway is more so. Hope that helps

I own one and don,t really like it
I use thin carbon arrows and it makes noise while I walk through brush on a stalk as the arrrow rattles around they are better suited for thick aluminum arrows.
Planning to use a drop away next season.
Also noticed after a lot of shooting my vanes are rippled.
Get a QAD or a Code Red Ripcord and you dont have to worry about your arrow falling out or vane contact- best of both worlds.

I use it and love it. I don't know the name of it, but there is a rest that is made similar to the WB, but instead of having brushes all the way around, it just hast them in 3 points. That way the fetching doesn't hit the brushes. I don't feel that it affects the accuracy as I have robin hooded with mine and can put 2 arrows touching on occasion at 30 yards.
