I have a fall away rest on my bow, but if my draw is a little quick, the arrow will fall off. If this happened drawing on a nice buck I'm afraid of what I might do to my bow! Looks like a wisker biscuit maybe more secure. Any opinions??

sure it would be more secure..but in general it would be louder and IMO less accurate.

I would stick with the fall away and: A) either slow down your draw, try to draw smooth and steady instead of rippin it back; or B) buy a drop away with an enclosure like the trophy taker top slot.

Get a drop-a-way that will hold your arrow. Like the ripcord or ultra.

Ease up on the poundage!

Sounds like you are having to jerk it back instead of a slow smooth draw.

Don't worry about what you buddies may say, and just lower the poundage just a little!

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

I have some magic beans if anyone is interested. No extra time hunting but they'll make you fart to the tune of Back In Black...

My biscuit isn't loud although it does affect group size slightly. I tried the drop away, it was louder on draw and release. I'm not convinced it's the way to go. I know quite a few successful biscuit bow hunters. Try one and see what you think. They aren't that expensive.

I shoot with a biscuit and have yet to have an issue with it. Buddy shot with a drop away for a little while and got rid of it due to the arrows falling off. I for one go for the security of the arrow during the draw over the added FPS. If you are getting close enough what does 10FPS add? Also I notice very little in the noise department and my bow is very quiet.

Love my whisker biscuit. If it is the proper size for the arrow you shoot it will not make any noise, and I can hit what I want at 50 yards no problem. Have shot with people with drop away rests, and I shot just as good as them.

Love me a good biscuit!


I have been shooting one forever and haven't seen a reason to switch to a drop away. I don't shoot spots and the biscuit puts it where it's suppose to everytime.

I have the Hostage rest which is similar to the whisker biscuit. I really like it. It's very quiet on the draw and holds the arrow securely, even upside down.

I love my whisker biscuit. After the aggrevation of my arrow falling off time after time....I bought a w.b. My arrow will NOT fall off anymore. I'll sacrifice the FPS any day of the week and twice on Sunday for the peace of mind that my arrow is not going to fall.

I have never noticed any extra noise with my whisker biscuit. Always quiet.



Thank you Lord for the gifts in my life.

This guy has figured it out! No better HUNTING rest period! Sure its less accurate, (maybe translates into 2 inches at 40 yards)
I'm saying this because string loops tend to torque the arrow. If you have figured out how to tie the loop with a little bit of serving in order for the loop to pull the string a bit more below the arrow then you would almost eliminate the arrow falling from the fall away. QAD has a good rest in the ultra hunter too. Any of the rests have quirks that can be remedied!

Fall away without question. I just got a new tri vane and love it for about a hundred. It is basically a fall away biscuit.



Dont tell me you shot the 4 point for the meat when there are does all around.

One of my roommates has a whisker biscuit and the other has a drop away. I had a Hostage and it wore out soon after I started shooting. Now I have a NAP Sizzor and I love it. It holds your arrow secure under any conditions, even if your draw isn't smooth

I hear the regular hostage wears out quickly, but the Hostage Pro has held up well for me
