I Love my Muzzy Zero Effect arrow rest. When I get another bow it will have the MZE on it too.

You will basically get 3 answers on this one from everyone plus a few others too. The whisker biscuit muzzy zero effect and the bodoodle. I myself use the whisker biscuit. I am getting a new rest though. Guess which one???? The wisker biscuit with the quick shot.:D

The whisker biscuit arrowrest is simple to install, its a very quiet, accurate, and durable rest that stays in tune. I' ve gotten several seasons of shooting on mine and still don' t see any wear on them. If you are stalking or stand hunting this rest works remarkably well. Rain, sleet, snow, or high winds this rest keeps the arrow on the bow where it belongs so you can take your best shot when it is offered. I can' t imagine a better rest to have on your bow for hunting. Good luck hunting!

Trophy Shakey Hunter or a Muzzy Zero Effect are two pretty proven drop-aways. The Trophy Taker very simple, durable and light. The Zero Effect is alittle more and complex heavier but durable and effective.

Good Luck!

Gumby:

For bowhunting purpose, a rest should be:

ï€* A simple to install and easy to adjust,
ï€* non-obtrusive, mechanically uncomplicated, quiet, having limited contact with the shaft,
ï€* reliable and durable device;
ï€* that micro-adjusts elevation (nock height adjustment), windage (centering), and rest tension,
ï€* that supports your arrow during the hunt and while you shoot a deer at an average distance of 0 -25 yards,
ï€* which generally takes but seconds and occurs only a few times during the entire season (shot at deer), unless you are a bad shot and miss often.

Once installed and properly tuned, a rest should never be something that you have to overly think about or be concerned about while hunting. The more complex and/or fragile the rest is, the greater the possibility that something will go wrong in the field, or just as you are about to make the shot of your dreams.

In my opinion, a (compound bow) rest that:

ï€* does not (just) cradle the shaft,
ï€* excessively makes contact with too much of the shaft,
ï€* applies side pressure that cannot be adjusted (pressure),
ï€* makes too much contact with the fletch/vane,
ï€* has to be modified; especially, extensively modified,
ï€* has strings, cables or pressure that the function and proper function of the rest must rely on,

is not a simple and reliable rest, and sooner or later something will malfunction.

How much sophistication and complexity is necessary to simply and reliably cradle an arrow and shoot deer at close range?
