I have personally tested the B-2 Whisker Biscuit on a Hoyt bow, using a Hooter-Shooter to hold the bow. And at 35yards the bow shot the arrow through the biscuit into the exact same hole twelve times in a row.

Any bow and arrowrest will need to be tuned in order to give the results we want.

The Whisker Biscuit is more than capable of producing accurate shots, if the bow is in tune. And it does it without any of the mechanical contrivances of the dropaway rests, which can fail.

And failure is not an option.

Good luck hunting! >>>------------>

WB can't even compare with it... It's made by bowtech. You won't have any vane contact. You will be able to shoot different arrow dia. Does not make noise like the WB. For a containment arrow rest, this is what you want.. I have owned a WB, hands down go with the hostage, you won't be sorry.
I actually bought one of these rests to compare with my Whisker Biscuit. At first glance it looks cheaper being made of polymerand all but it seemed to be sturdy.

It's smaller than the Whisker Biscuit which I thought might give those who shoot larger vanes/feathers clearance problems but I had none with my standard height 4in vanes.

It does not hold the arrow in place like the W/B does, if bumped it will fall through the bristles and clank against the frame. Mole skin (provided) is a must if you use this rest. The W/B is a mole skin free rest and the arrow even if bumped will (as mentioned) reset itself back into position.

Shooting anything with more than a slight offset will cause the vanes to run into the bristles. You can rotate the arrow so that the leading edge of the vanes don't hit but then the trailing edge will. I shot both my standard 4deg offset with no problems but when I shot helical vanes they hit the bristles.

All and all depending on what arrows you use it seemed to be a decent rest but I will not be using it. It's no way near the rest a Whisker Biscuit is and I will probably end up giving it away on one of "BigJ's Late Night Giveaways" soon.

Stick with the Whisker Biscuit IMHO it's a better rest for what you will be doing.

If you have gotten that kind of accuracy great, but me and my buddies did not. The WB is a great hunting rest with hunting type accuracy. That is just my opinion. I need to have perfect accuracy or my confidence falls into the basement, if ya know what I mean. I simply said that the drop aways are my kind of rest and the QAD serves it's purpose as a great hunting rest with awesome accuracy.

I put a WB on my Hoyt Magnatech this year and I really like it. Now I will say I have been fletching more than usual. Maybe I should try those blazers.

I love my WB. It's great for stalking and hunting from the ground which I do a fair amount.

Well guys, believe it or not... I still use this:


Yeah, I know... The NAP Quiktune 1000 is so outdated and "old school", but hey, it works...
Mine is still setup perfectly and hasn't moved a millimeter or gone south on me at all. It's simple and easy, and like I said,it just works... [8D]

This rest would be my reccommendation if it can be shot on the guardian.

Had someone tell me to take astraight razor and thin the bristles on the wb some on both the front and back side and it would reduce the fricion and drag and noise,anybody ever try this? They said to leave just enough bristles that it would still hold the arrow without falling through.
