I got a new Matthews Switchback last year and am just getting ready to outfit it. Any opinions on the whisker biscuit rest? I've been using a "Bodoodle" on my PSE and looking for something different. No experience with dropaways, seems like 1 more thing to go wrong. This is strictly a bow for hunting and shots should be < 30 yds.

I personally use a bodoodle too. But I have some friends who swear by them. I would think they are extremely useful for still-hunting or general walking with the bow at the ready in the woods.

Whisker Biscuit can be hard on fletching-especially if you have helical fletched arrows. Bodoodle game dropper here-no complaints.

Only problem with my Bodoodle is keeping tape on the tips of the prongs, and sometimes I will knock my arrow between the prongs and have to pull it back up on top of the rest. All and all no major compaints with it. Thinking of going to the Blazer 2" vanes and thought the Whiskerbiscuit would be a good rest for them. I shoot Muzzy 100 3bladed and Gold Tip 55-75"s.

Put a Whisker Biscuit on my sons bow and it eats up the arrow fleshings all the time, no other problems with it other then that though, I just put a Rip Cord drop away on my bow and its great, I would highly recommend one of them to anyone, it holds the arrow in it if you want it to, or it will come up when you draw the bow also.

A friend of mine whom I fletch arrows for says that he hasn't had many problems with is whisker biscuit eating up fletchings. I use 4" fletch with a straight vane. I do put a drop of glue at the end of the fletch, so that it doesn't have a place to get started!

The son has been using the biscuit and loves it. No problems with his fletchin to speak of. He shoots a custom built bow more or less a copy of a mathews with a few improvements to it. Fastest shootin bow I have ever seen!!!!!! 75% let off I think, and very quiet.

love my whisker biscut, got ADD so bad i cant hardly stand that tree hunting stuff, gotta get on the ground and stalk, best arrow rest ive ever used and i move around alot, arrows stay in place, goes right from my bow to the critter, stooting new arrows out of it no fletching problems, but the older ones fall off from time to time

I think a lot of drop aways are Junk. But everyone has an opinion and thousands of hunters use all of the above with satisfactory results. It is all a matter of personal preference, and your comfort level.
