Let's talk arrow rests.
Ok guys, I am looking for a new arrow rest. I am, finally, switching from aluminum arrows to carbon and need to re-rig my bow.
What kind of rest would you suggest? I currently use a whisker biscuit. I am open to all options.

rest
I stil use the old "fork" rest. I bought several drop away rests, but they either were not compatible with my bow(Mathews Drenalin), or I was not satisfied with the quietness/accuracy. There is no reason you cannot shoot a whisker biscuit with carbon arrows.

X3 on the QAD... I would go with the Ultra Rest Pro HD... got'em on both mine and my wife's bows and never had any issues.

Agree on the QAD. Don't know if you really need to spring for the extra for the Ultra. They say if prevents pop up- the rest popping back up after it falls forward. don't you think that if the cheaper one ever really did that, that they wouldn't be able to sell a single one of them???
Don't know. But they are great rests. Hold the arrow inverted, sideways, however you hold your bow.

Problem I had with the whisker bisquit was that if you shoot alot, you'll need to replace it a couple times a year. The "whiskers" get burnt, worn down or whatever and accuracy decreased substantially.
I shoot a drop away and my accuracy increased.

X2 - Ripcord. Nice to have your arrows ready in any position you lift your bow from. Did find that it did not work well with my son's Diamond Razor LH. Has always been good for me.

Unless they have quieted the biscuit there is no way I would hunt with one...NO WAY. Mite not be loud at the house but will be heard by a deer @ 20yrds, Ive shot a TM hunter, huntmaster 2000, I changed about 3 yrs back to a drop away and love it. Before the drop rest the berger button on the huntmaster 2000 caused me to miss the biggest deer I have ever shot at, went back to the TM Hunter....WW
