RE: Wisker biscuit vs ripcord
Depends. Are you hunting, or using it for 3-D or what? If your hunting, I would say stay with the WB, since its a full containment rest, the arrow wont fall off if you have to get into some awkward positions. If your using it for 3-D, I would say use the Ripcord.

Ive used the bisquet , and liked it . Ive allso used the ultra rest which is very similar to the ripcoard , and had some problems , it was loud for one . They say the ripcoard is quieter , and cheaper .

RE: Wisker biscuit vs ripcord
I have not used the Ripcord, but also have used the Biscuit and the QAD UltraRest. My QAD rest wasn't loud, it makes just a little click noise, where the Biscuit (to my ears) makes a little slap sound when the fletch punches through the bristles. That noise is louder with softer vanes. IMO, when the QAD (or Ripcord) rests are working properly, I like them a little better than the Biscuit. The first reason is that they are silent on the draw, where the Biscuit makes a little noise with all but the smoothest arrows. All 3 rests are full containment, so that is a wash. With the Biscuit, fletch type can be an issue, and it seems to me that if you have a flaw in one of the fletches, you are more likely to get a flyer out of the group than a drop away. I think the drop aways are a little more forgiving with less than perfect shots. Still, the Biscuit can be tuned to shoot very well. If you are expecting a big improvement in accuracy from a drop away, you may end up a bit disappointed. The Biscuit is also simpler, and less likely to malfunction in some way. The "Velocity Drop away" feature on my QAD caused problems every once in a while before finally hanging up more often than it dropped correctly. I eventually gave up on the full containment feature and removed the little catch to get 100% reliable drop away functioning. I will probably continue to shoot the modified QAD until mid-summer, then decide whether to go with the Biscuit for hunting, or leave well enough alone.

Some arrows, like some camo carbons, make enough noise to be a concern. Smoother arrows, like Axis, Beman ICS, etc. make no draw noise at all, at least compared to other rests.

I agee with JOE the diferance probably is that I only shoot feathers , and I would guess he shoots vanes , thats one reason we are geting diferant results . I admit the Bisquet does make more noise on the draw than the Quad , which comes with a moleskin inter lining .

I shoot a NAP 2000 Quik Tune Drop away. It holds the arrow pretty well but I am having trouble with the vanes hitting the rest after it falls away.
A pro shop here said go with Muzzy. Can you give me some info on that zero effect rest?
