another question about arrow rests specific
 

The answers i got where the Muzzy (Zero effect)? and the trophy taker when i asked about what people liked.

My new question is, are these both fall away rests? I am not keen on that idea yet. i have seen arrows fall down in the past when the rest lets loose before you can take a shot. Is this the case with these as well. Or is there some type of safe gaurd in place. I would really like info on your thoughts.

Any other good rests that may not be fall away that i should take a look at?

I believe both that you mentioned are fall away rests. I have read a lot of good things about fall aways but I just don' t like the idea of having another moving part to have to rely upon. They may be great, but mine works just fine too. I use a NAP Quicktune 3000. I love the ability to micro adjust the rest to help fine tune my arrow flight. I' ve had mine for 3 years and the silencing material on the prongs is just now starting to show a little bit of wear. It may not be the perfect rest for everyone but it' s worked well for me.

OH NO!!! Two more rests in the mix. !!!!

I have a MZE and the problems you are talking about don' t happen with this rest. This rest attached to your cable slide and moves accordingly when you pull the bow back, therefore unless something breaks on the rest, the rest can' t fall away until you release the string. I think you would be happy with this type of fall away.

The two rests you mention are excelent rests . If you are hesitant to use a fall away rest look at a wisker bisquit rest . It allso is a great hunting rest and your on a hunting board so I supose that is what you are looking for . Good luck 11 days and counting till open season .

The whisker biscuit arrowrest is a simple, very quiet, accurate, and durable rest that will last for thousands of shots and many seasons of hunting. These rests stay in tune and operate in all hunting conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, or high winds the whisker biscuit will keep your arrow on the bow so that you can take your best shot. Isn' t that what a rest is supposed to do? Good luck choosing a rest. Good luck hunting!

I have heard from my pro-shop that some guys don' t like them. They are hard on Fletching. Any truth to this?

You need to take a hard look at the MZE. IMO, there is not a better rest for the hunter out there.

The BEST, most reliable and most trouble free hunting rest is the shelf on a recurve or longbow. Once you get past that, it' s all downhill.

I never was too enthused about the Whisker Bisquit. Now they' ve got a side loading variety that pretty much strips my original objection to them. The vane wear is a definite drawback. About half the guys I know that shoot them use feathers. They say there are a couple of super duper brand vanes that don' t wrinkle up. I' d much rather have a Whisker Bisquit on my hunting compound than ANY fallaway design.

I have been having real good results with my new drop zone.:D

Works better on my bow than the trophy taker ever did:)

Very nice rest and the one I will hunt with this year unless it all sh!ts to bed;)

I put a Bodoodle Zapper 400 on and love it. I was going to get a whisker biscuit, but heard mixed comments in that they will, on occasion, freeze up in nasty weather...not sure where you are from though. The Zapper has Spring SS fingers which hold the arrow in place. " IF" any noise would be a concern, a little clear hard nail polish on it works perfect. ALthough I shot a nice buck last fall and he was only about 7 yards away when I drew and he never looked up.

I use the wisker biscuit and love it. It does cause some wear to your vanes but that is a small drawback in comparison to all of its benefits. It is super quiet, durable and your arrow will never fall off during the draw or when undrawing. It is very affordable as well. I believe the original wisker biscuit is only $30 or so. Compare that to the zero effect, drop zone or most any other quality rest.

I have experience with three drop aways. Muzzy ZE, Trophy Taker, and the Trap Door. The first Trap Door I had was noisy and I sent it back. The new one worked better but I hated cocking it every shot. It just didn' t fit my style I guess.

Both the Muzzy ZE and the Trophy Taker have worked without a hitch for me. I put mole skin on the ZE to silence the draw. I sewed a piece of leather on the " forks" of the TT and it has proved to be silent and durable.
