Need some input on arrow rests....

**camoman1** · 06-17-2009, 12:54 PM

I plan on buying a Alpha Max in the next few weeks. I am not really up to date on all the new toys that go on the new bows. I found the thread about the bow sights and got some good ideas from that, but I was hoping you guys/gals could give some direction as to which rests out there are good ones.

Im thinking I would like to get a drop away but I dont know which ones are better than others or if a drop away isnt maybe the way to go???

I'll be using Gold Tips in case that matters

Thanks in advance

Me personally, I think you can't go wrong with a whisker biscuit if you're going to shoot blazers with a helical. If, however, you would like to have more accuracy and less to deal with as far as fletching your arrows and such, you can't miss with a Rip Cord or a QAD Ultra Rest when shooting F.O.B.'s. Go to www.starrflight.com. Now's the time to decide if you want to try F.O.B.'s and you'll never be sorry for it. Good Luck!!

My biscuit's been good to me with blazer vanes. I dont doubt a drop away would improve some things in the way of accuracy, but I have no complaints with mine.

QAD get's my vote.

Check out QAD's, Rip Cord, and the Limb Driver.

Trophy Taker Fall Aways are very nice, very easy to tune, and my rest for ALL of my bows.

Check out the Muzzy Zero Effect rests. Never had a problem with mine

Thanks for the info guys, I really appreciate it. Now I can go check out a few of these instead of walking into it blindly. Thanks again!

I personally like the whisker biscuits too. I've never tried anything else though, so maybe I'm missing out with the drop aways. I've always had good luck with the biscuits and never had a reason to switch.

I like the Trophy Takers too. They have treated me right.

I also like the rip cord. Good rest and a great design.

Switched from WB to a QAD. Won't turn back from a drop away at all. The fun part is putting the toy together! Post some pics when you get it...Eric
