Gold Tip Ultralight Pro Series 22 or Carbon Express CXL.

But have seen guys using easton ACC's for 3d

RE: best arrow rest,,, and best arrows
 

Since it's inception about 10 years ago it's been the ACC's.

Withe rest? I have heard of a couple guys putting moleskin under the rest arm where it bottoms out. This might helps with the thump and noise you have with it.

I like the RipCord rest.
Easton XX-78 arrows are my favorite arrows. I tried Easton Axis arrows last year. This year I am going back to my old XX-78's.

What are your arrows fletched with , 5" sheild feathers will straightn out just about anything , espcialy by the time it gets to 45 yards .

I would tend to agree with the others in terms of the ACCs for both accuracy and build quality...at least in my experience. But then there is the price.....

As for rests, I still prefer either the GKF Golden Premier or GKF Infinity. If you are partial to drop aways then either one can be had in a drop away version.

I really like my QuickTune 4000. The way the forks are kind of bent back/upwards (depending on its position) seem to help cradle the arrow prior to it being in the full upright position. Also, it's really easy to make fine-tune adjustments.

As for the arrows - are you sure you don't just need to tune the rest a bit better? I use Gold Tip Pros with the shorty vanes and they seem to fly ok.

Trying many different rests and arrow combos over the years from the ole 2216s to Carbons to ACC's, I have the most confidence in ACC's and now my Trophy Taker fall away. This is proving to be a great combination on my Liberty 80. "the best" I have no idea, but working great, yes.

Whisker Biscuit(best for hunting) Gold Tip 5575 or Easton ACC

Love the QAD Ultra Rest, with GT XT Hunters. Combination shoots great (on my bow, anyhow).

RE: best arrow rest,,, and best arrows
 

Bo Doodle rest with beman ICS 400,s for me. The way people always talk about the acc,sI am going to try them this year. For no reason but to try them though.

RE: best arrow rest,,, and best arrows
 

I will have to agree with the others on arrows. I've shot many different ones, but recently decided to pick up some ACC 3-60's. Man they shoot great. They are definitely worth the exta money.

I too was using a DZ. It worked great for me, but I wanted to try something with full containment. I picked up a QAD Ultra Rest on Ebay last month. I absolutely love this rest. You can lock the launcer arm into position before you start to draw. For me, I don't seem to worry as much about the arrow falling off during the draw. You can also let down slowley and not have to worry about the arrow falling off. It also has full containment, which is great for tree stand hunting. It seems to be as quiet as the DZ, although I have not done any side by side comparisons. Some have had some fletching contact issues, but if you set it up to lift the launcher the last 1/2" of the draw, you shouldn't have any problems. Good luck on your decision!

Well, as far as a good all around hunting rest, the Whisker Biscuit by far. For shooting strictly 3d, probably the drop zone. For arrows, probably ACC's for target. I've used my bow for a lil bit of 3d stuff with my hunting set up of Carbon Express CX-200's

ive never tried a drop away, but for me the whisker biscuit is by far the best way to go. keep it simple. arrows i like the hidden insert technology, so i go with axis. i realize that strength is for hunting, but i like to shoot basically the same set up for consistency, so id shoot those arrows....they wont hurt your 3-d score im sure

For me the best rest is the Golden Key Futura Infiniti Drop away.... I looked at it as a strickly 3D rest.. but then I was so impressed with its performance at 3D that I used it this last bow hunting season to harvest every animal I took.. it worked Flawlessly;) I also use some black moleskin where the rest laucher arms contact the riser to combat the noise issue.
I use CXL 150 Selects and Gold tip Ultra Lite Pro 22 Series Arrows for 3D... both work great for me.... I prefer fat shafts for catching those lines in 3D ...
But as you said ( but my arrows looked to be fishtailing at 45 yards not sure if my arrow broadhead combo was right but ) This I belive is your 1st question you need to answer.... the best rest isnt going to solve the problem of an improperly setup arrow.
Tell us what your arrow setup is and then what your bow setup is... make sure you are working with a properly spined arrow and optimum arrow setup.... just my 2 cents;)
