I seen some post about the Whisker Biscuit pro and cons. I found this video. I am no of fan of it, but thats my opinion. Here some other video of different type of rest. See what you think

I've never been real crazy about a whisker biscuit either. That is some awesome footage!

Seems to be a lot of flex and some resistance with the Whisker Biscuit ... Not for me.

Nice vids! I like the Drop Zone by Trophy Ridge myself. I'd like to see some video of that too just to see.

Whisker Biscuit's are nice for beginners but when the shots get out to 30, 40, 50 yards they're just to variable when the arrow goes through it. The trophy drop away is the best one.

Cool footage.
I really like the biscuit. 40 yards is my max shot and at a target I am on. I went with the buscuit because my arrows kept falling off the rest. I had the send rest of the 3 vids. now with the buscuit its alwas in place.

I have only been shooting a bow for about a year now, but I started shooting with the WB because its what came with my bow and I didnt know anything else. Im pretty accurate out to 40yds at any angle and thats about as far as I care to shoot. Only thing ive noticed that makes any difference in shooting is the size of broadhead I use in relation to how hard it hits, not the 5 fps that I lose from shooting the WB.

Cool Videos. The oscillations of the WB are pretty wild. I've had some frustrating moments with bumping the arrow off the rest as well & now happily shoot a WB. I understand the concerns with being less accurate, but since I limit my shots to the 20-25 yard rang, I think its an acceptable trade-off..

Great video, but I will keep both my Whiskers... When I am leaning at the end of my Summit rope out of my stand to take a sideways shot at a deer that is half behind a tree I will love it even more.

Intersting video. It really caught my attention when the arrow came off the string jumped up and the whisker biscuit then pushed it back down and then causing drag because it did not come back up. It was a sudden push down. I personally don't shoot them, but I know people that do. It's all personal preference. I shoot an Alpine drop away rest and have no problems, and the Alpine bows are notched out in the shelf of the riser for your arrow to set in so it doesn't move around when getting ready to shoot your bow.

I think the pushing down on the video may actually be the arrow flexing. I shoot the WB and I don't notice any whip on flight. I wold imagine a noticable whip in the end of the arrow if it was actually being pressed back down... And you're 100% right, some guys love PSE, others love Mathews... Same with rest.
