Bowhunting out to fifty yards: stick with your WB. You will NEVER see an accuracy advantage with the drop away for 90% of your shooting, and you will be about $100 happier because you didnt have to buy another piece of hardware that your dealer has to set up and maintain for you. I removed my drop away at the beginning of this years deer season and have taken seven deer with the WB.

 

I agree 100%. Also keep in mind heavier arrows should see less of a "negative effect" in speed and accuracy than lighter arrows. It' s basic physics.

 

the new WB's look interesting.

 

Nothing wrong with a WB. But QAD ultra rest are the drop away standard.

drop away vs whisker biscuit site:archerytalk.com

Good luck!

 

Thanks! I figured it was discussed before, but didn't know how to search it on this site. Still getting used to the format of this forum.

 

I have a 2012 quest primal with a limbdriver on it, I have used either limbdriver or trophy taker for the last 20 years maybe? I also have a 2014 PSE DNA that I put a truglo biscuit on...... gotta say, pleased with the biscuit, no plans on changing it anytime soon...... works great and zero accuracy issues

I actually really like the Truglo Biscuit that PSE has been putting in the new 2020 packages... you have better vertical adjustment because you can rotate it and square it. It reminds me of the original Whisker Biscuit mounts. The Quick Shot mount is a joke when it comes to vertical adjustment.

 

im switching back to a drop away with my new bow that im hoping to up my kill range from 55 to 70 yards

 

Whisker biscuit is fine unless you are shooting a hoyt. Trust me, you won't get good results with a WB on a hoyt because they are designed to launch the arrow on a slight downward trajectory which will bounce the tail end of the arrow off the bottom of the WB. Not sure if any other hybrid cam bows are like this but I know hoyts are.

 

A lot of hybrids are like this as it's the typical vertical nock trajectory, since the lower cam will generate a little more energy than the top. Single cams do this also, and the easiest solution is to run your d-loop/nocking point a little high (mine is about 1/8" up). You may also want the top cam stop to hit slightly early when syncing the cams.

I will cherish the day when hybrid cams are ancient tech, but I hope single cams don't disappear because I like their simplicity. Unfortunately it's looking the other way around, there's very few single cams left on the market.

 

I have both and ive killed w/ both. ive never shot a deer farther than 40yds. I love both rests but for simplicity, reliability, the WB is #1. I killed all my animals this yr w/ the QAD HDX. elk @ 25yds, doe #1 @21 yds, doe #2 @ 6yds, buck @ 15yds. ive use the Wb almost exclusively until this yr and killed batches of deer a couple of antelope and a bear w/ a Wb. ive put a biscuit back on one of my bows for next yr. ive shot quite a few 3d shoots w/ the WB also and have won a few things. now don't get me wrong im no pro shooter but for most of us a biscuit is a very good arrow rest. its not how far anyway its how close. but heres the deal …. shoot what ya want. some folks should read curt wells article in the latest issue of bowhunter mag

 

I like a drop away (NAP Apache), and have been using one for 6 years, although I started out with a WB.'
I like shooting with FOBs, so I'll stick with a drop away.
My wife started out with a WB on her bow, and I've offered to "upgrade" her rest, but she say's "No way, I'm still happy with what I'm using.
You really can't go wrong, no matter which way you go.

 

For hunting a whisker biscuit. Reliable, quiet, and no arrow bounce. Accuracy is great for hunting kill shots. Now for target or 3D I prefer a blade or drop away. I'm not aiming at vitals. I'm aiming at dime size or quarter size scoring rings.

I actually switched to a biscuit after years of drop aways. Imo they work great for hunting. Now I will say I just bought a Vxr 28 and just had to get the integrated QAD rest. How could I not? Lol

I did the same for the 31.5 I have ordered.
If the bow ever gets here

 

It seems that everyone doesn't notice an accuracy difference with a WB at around 40 yards or less. I feel like after I release the arrow, the small movements of my bow arm are affecting the accuracy of the arrow quite a bit at short distances. I know that this is mostly a form thing, but my thinking is that the drop away would help mitigate my form deficiencies.
Guess I just need to practice a lot more so I can get accurate with the WB. My ultimate goal with archery is to hunt, so it's good to know that a lot of hunters prefer the WB.

Results for sure. Quite a few at my club use them with no issues at all.

 

All my compounds have QAD drop-away rests. Nothing wrong with a WB, but I just favor the QAD's.

 

I use a WB for hunting in all weather situations from below freezing, rain or snow .
I also shoot 3d's and 5 spot. Many times shooting as good or out shooting guys with drop aways.
Recently dialed in a new bow to me out to 60 yards with a Kill shot WB. One x, two within an inch or so of the x.

Used to have a QAD HDX. That started to make a snap or click sound on the shot.
I also have a Limb driver pro v. And really dont see I shoot any better with that. But I do like the limb driven rest over the cable drop away.
Nothing wrong with a WB.

 

Biscuits are junk contact equals problems and inaccurate shots

 

Possibly the dumbest statement I have read in AT in a long time

I question the drag factor and repeatability of a WB. Yeah, they work, just like a bushing vs bearing. If you’re happy with the results, don’t fix it.

 

another factor is how ugly it makes a bow look. you can slap a red tailgate on a green truck and it still closes and gets the job done, but it just doesnt look good.
get a 700 bow and then you put a 29.99$ rest with the bristles all mangled just looks cheap imo. sure you can hit a target with a 20$ 3 pin sight with flourescent fishing line for pin fibers but is that really what you want to do? you dont have to be a bow tech to keep a drop away working .

 

the last WB I bought I think was around 100 bucks... think it was called the "sure shot pro" micro adjust, more features than my QAD's

 

i see the bow you bought already had one on it, so if its performing for you then its doing what its designed to do.

 

Whisker bisket goes against everything you want. You want no fletching contact and you want at little arrow contact as you can get. Get rid of the WB and go with a drop away or keep wondering why you are chasing the bulls eye.

 

You didn’t even watch the video I posted did you?

 

WB’s are excellent rests.
There are ton of great drop aways. QAD, limb driver, smack downs, to name a few.
I have mainly used QAD but have often thought of going back to a WB. I have a ton of friends that kill great deer every year with their WB’s.
Keep it simple.

 

For hunting, Whisker biscuit. It's surprisingly accurate.

For competition target, drop away. However archers has won competitions with Whisker biscuit.

Since you just started archery, Whisper biscuit is an excellent choice.

 

Take a look at the new Gen 7X from Vapor Trail Archery. There is also a thread on this forum.

My personal choice is a dropaway any day over a biscuit. Nothing wrong with a biscuit just not my choice.
