Default Best drop-away for hunting

I've been doing a ton of reading from old posts, and on other forums ... still can't figure out the best all around hunting drop-away rest ... i've decided not to go whisker biscuit ... heard good things about the gfk TKO and trophy taker shakey hunter, any suggestions?

Anyone ever tried the Quicktune 4000 smart drop-away? (Hoyt sells it in a nice package with matching colours, I have an 05' Vipertec I'm trying to set-up)

thanks!

Almost. I have the Quicktune 2000 drop-away on my Hoyt Razortec. I've never had a moment's problem with it and would immediately get the same rest again if I needed one.

I don't think there is a better drop away for hunting than the APA Twister Safari. Total arrow containment and total silence. I used it all of this past season and it worked perfectly. It's nice not having to worry about where your arrow is on the rest when you pick up the bow.

QAD Ultrarest was on my Martin and is going on my new Bowtech.

One of these days I might try the APA Twister Safari.

I used a NAP 2000 this past year with no problems.

I just picked up one of these on the advice of a friend... Looks like it's gonna be awesome for the above-stated reasons.

Trophy Taker get's my vote. Great simple rest that doesn't move once you get it set. Pretty good prices too. Some of the designs just have too much junk hanging out everywhere. I just want something that works as simply as possible. T.T. fits the bill!
