hunting bow what rest?
 
What kind of rest do you have on your hunting bow? I went from a tm prong rest to
a tropy taker shakey hunter.

I have used the Muzzy Zero effect for a few seasons.......great rest. Just draw and shoot. However since I have been shooting the VFT style BowTechs I migrated away from it due to tweaking issues to get it to work with these bow plus I wanted to try some other stuff. Still highly recommend!

I am using a TT 'Shakey Hunter' right now and it is simple and solid but doesn't offer quite the containment ability of the Zero Effect. Still I have no reservations about using it for any stationary hunting.
Good rest.

I am going to be giving another design a try soon.......an APA "Twister" which offers a FULL containment style in a drop away. The full containment is a big draw for me because I tend to be like a bull in a china shop sometimes while I am reaching for my bow as a deer approaches. :D
I played with this rest quite a bit at the ATA show and was impressed enough with it to order one.
We shall see.[:-]

Been using the MZE for a couple of years on different bows. IMO, it is one of the est rests money can buy.

GK Rover, had this same rest for about 6 years on 3 different hunting bows. I just can't find a reason to get rid of it. It is a tough, accurate, and reliable rest.

A rest that is simple, durable, reliable. For me, the GFK prong-rest has met those requirements for me since the first GFK rest hit the market. Nary a malfunction during years of use.

Whisker bisquit--has worked very well for ME.

I have installed whisker biscuit arrowrests on my last ten compound bows. The whisker biscuit is the best hunting rest that I have ever used. It is simple to install, they don't bend and they don't break or go out of adjustment. The whisker biscuit is extremely quiet on the release of the arrow, There are no springs, no levers, no cords and no vibration with the whisker biscuit. There is also no tape. no moleskin, no nailpolish, and no heatshrink tubing to deal with in order to make the rest ready to hunt. If you have ever had the arrow rattle against your bow or have dropped an arrow off your rest when drawing the bow on game, you can see the advantages of this rest for hunting. Good luck hunting!

I have the whisker biscuit and I would recomend it to anyone for a hunting rest.

I just bought new bowtech, How does the whisker biscuit work when it gets wet? In case it may rain when your hunting, Will it work just as good?

I'm using a trophy ridge dropzone on my new Liberty. So far so good. Very quiet, good containment, plenty of clearance, etc. I used to use a whisker biscuit but got tired of having to refletch arrows once a month.

My rest is the 'Ultimate Fall Away' from Vital Bow Gear and it is great. You can hold the bow in any position before the shot and the arrow WILL NOT FALL OFF THE REST. It is a fall-away rest with a mechanical 'arm' that holds the arrow in place until the bow is drawn. It is very quiet and works great.

You can check it out at http://www.vitalbowgear.com/arrowrests.cfm

MZE all the way. Great containment and I have never been more accurate with my bow.

TM hunter. Hasn't failed me.

Another vote for the MZE. Hard to beat for a hunting rest.:)

i'll be buying a WB QS deluxe for my new bow. I have heard a lot of good things and the nay-sayers and bad points that have come up haven't scared me off. Hope it works for me or I will become one of the nay-sayers in a hurry (but not thinking that will happen).

I have an 03 bowtech extreme vft. I have a dalton drop-away. I like it better than my trophy taker shakey hunter.

tm hunter for me but considering the mze, naq drop, and vital bow gear for this year. I like a fully contained arrow as when the moment of trut arrives I shake so bad you might think I have altzheimers. My tm hunter has an arrow flipper on it and I can turn it upside down and shoot it as it holds the arrow on the prongs with out affecting the shot however gets in the way and is hard to tune with the a/c/c's I am trying out.
