Whisker Biscuit vs. regular arrow rest

[Chase This!]

Other than that, it's junk.

I wouldn't go that far. It is perfect for my 6 year old. However, I do chuckle when I see one on a $1000 bow.

So, Tom Miranda, used to shoot a kids rest?
Who would have thought

Other than editing my post, why would you chuckle when you see a rest that always works, $1000 bow or other?

look the wb is just fine and yes it is ugly. it does shoot fine though. I changed from wb to qad after my whiskers wore out. the one thing i hated is that a got alot of warpage with blazers with helical. I still cant tell a difference from my wb and qad in accuracy

Said the bow shop owner with more experience than most on this site.

Oh and I didn't put one on my $1000 bow. I did however put one on my $899 bow TODAY!

Since we all know you're not a kid than you HAVE TO BE a beginner

A properly tuned drop away rest is simply MORE accurate than a WB- particularly the further out you go. Not that they don't work acceptably well- they do. It's like the difference between a stock trigger and a custom trigger or between a Bushnell scope and a Swarovski. All will do the job but some will do it better. Do you want to drive a an old clunker or a new F250 King Ranch?

Anecdotal evidence like, 'I out-shoot my fancy-pants buddy with my WB' is meaningless. Want some real anecdotal evidence on a level playing ground: NOT ONE professional competitive archer shoots a WB. Every other brand has sponsored shooters representing their brand. If that doesn't tell you something about its inferiority, as compared to a drop-away rest, I guess nothing will convince you.

I'm not slamming those that use WB with success and who like them but I AM slamming any claims that they're "as effective" as a drop-away. Which one you use depends on your needs, abilities and knowledge about tuning.

Drops work great in a controlled situation such as pro shoots with a pro shooter. For the avg joe hunter a wb performs best in a hunting situation. Besides you're suggesting that the people on this forum are capable of out shooting the difference between the two. I believe 10% might be able to but the other 90% couldn't at 20yds and **** sure couldn't at 40+. Remember who your audience is

Is there something about a drop away that makes the physics/mechanics behind the shot more accurate (ie tighter tolerances), or does it just allow for more forgiveness in form?

Are you saying the WB WON'T make the shot everytime?

Which do yall prefer

I thought this was the question, not whether "I think x is better than y because it's fancier"

Yep, in a hunting situation all you have to hit is a softball sized target every time, you are not trying to shoot the stitching off the ball. Plus it is bullet proof, no strings or any thing movable to worry about breaking in the field. Just one less thing to have to worry about, and once the arrow is on the rest you don't have to worry about it falling off while you are stalking or anything like that.

More forgiveness in form. Some will saythe WB slow's it down, and it does, but not enough to notice. Good form and follow through beat's out any rest, any arrow, anyday!! All a drop away does it minimize the amount of time the arrow make's contact with the bow. The more time the arrow make's contact the more chance of a bad follow through. I have seen a bow shot through a hooter shooter with a biscuit and you could split arrows almost every shot. Tell's me it's all about form!
