Which do you you prefer and any particular drop away brand? I don't like any concept that holds an arrow 360 degrees like a WB. JMHO. Arrows flex and stuff coming off the bow naturally. A QAD drops off out of the way. So: QAD

I shoot a WB and have never had issues with it.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

A whisker biscuit is the best hunting rest there is, IMO. However, I now shoot a QAD.

I deal with mechanical stuff all day, 5 days a week, mechanical stuff fails. If my QAD causes problems just once, it'll have a new home and I'll have a new biscuit, and I'll kill deer with it!

Sounds like operator error to me I've read all the studies - drop away proves more accurate, but only slightly more accurate and speed loss for a WB is only 3-6 fps. So not as much advantage as some drop away guys think at first - but still an advantage. The trend that is most noticeable is a lot of people complaining about fletching coming off - it's not just me - and I didn't really mean every other shot, just trying to get a point across. But here's the issue - torque. Nobody shoots as well in a tree. Nobody has perfect form when buck fever takes over. Hand position / pressure changes, etc. I'm not saying a drop away handles that error perfectly - it doesn't. But they will be way more forgiving with bad form. I'm not a great shot - never have been, never claimed to be. I need all the forgiveness I can get. And there's really no debating the advantage in forgiveness with a drop away.

If you shoot Marco vanes or Blazers that are glued properly , they'll stay on going through a biscuit just fine.

I shot a biscuit for about 7 or 8 years and I shoot a lot. Doesn't matter if it's a factory glue job or my fletching job, they will get torn up eventually. FYI I'm not downing a whisker biscuit, I think they are just fine for hunting.
