I prefer the biscuit, no moving parts, very little to break,works well with right fletched blazer vanes IMHO.

Best rest for what? What do you want your rest to do for you? What kind of shooting do you intend to do? Hunting? Target? 3D?

If it's to be a rest for strictly hunting and recreational target shooting, I'd go with the bisquit because of it's simplicity. If it's to be used for serious competition, even if youalso intend to hunt with the same setup,I'd suggest the dropaway because it's capable of greater accuracy at longer distances.

It depends , what comes on the new bow you'll have to buy if you dry fire yours anymore?

I'd have to agree with this statement, If you are using your bow to hunt then the Biscuit is hard to beat. While it can be accurate at long distances I think you will find the dropaways to be more accuratein the hands of an average archer. But, for hunting distances (under 50yds)the Biscuit is great. I use one and I have no problems at all with it, even with standard 4in cheapo vanes.

I use a drop away. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy. Once it's set, there is no tuning or fussing with it. It's just as "simple" as the whisker biscuit. What I don't like about the biscuit is that it will sometimes catch a bit of fletch and your arrow does not come off clean. Oh, you hit close to where you were aiming, but with hunting, that could be a liver/gut shot instead of a lung shot. Spend the extra money and time to get used to the drop away.

biscuit for hunting is a good choice. You'll be changing fletchings on your arrows a little more often. But the 360 deg. of capture is great when your in the stand. for target or 3d. Id definately switch to a dropaway. I persnally like the Trophy Takers drop away!! Reliable and durable. I use it for hunting also. But there are many decent drop aways out there. more of a preferance. Good luck!!
