I' ve gone through a slew of rests in the last twentyeight years of shooting compound bows and the only rest that has never bent, broken, made noises, dropped an arrow or otherwise fouled up the shot for me is the whisker biscuit. Good luck hunting!

I' m surprised that no one has brought up a fallaway rest. Personally, I feel that there are simply too many advantages to shooting a top quality fallaway design. Flawless arrow flight and smooth, quiet operation makes these rests shine in the field. My top pick is the Trophy Ridge Drop Zone. I have used this rest all season long from the Tukey blind to the 3D ranges nearly every weekend and after countless hours and thousands of shots this rest has perfored better than any I have ever used to date. I would suggest any of you in the market for a top end rest to check this awesome design out.[8D]

I' ll second the call for drop aways. total clearance=zero interferance.
I' ll be happy with most ANY quiet well built drop away that you don' t have to reset yourself (i.e. no trap door, or savage magnetic drop away)

Golden Key Futura Star Hunter works best for me, and has for many years. My
Trophy Taker Shaky Hunter I bought does not.

This is coming from someone who swore they would never use one:

But I am currently shooting a QS Deluxe Wisker Bisket and have to admit I am the happiest with it of any rest I have used. And don' t worry about a few fps .....that isn' t going to change anything but the readout on a chrono !!
