Arrow Rest Question

[Espanola]

I'm currently using a 'qicktune' drop away rest on my Hoyt Trykon which works fine. However I'm thinking on a switch to a positive holding type so as I can leave an arrow nocked onto my bowstring when I go hunting. I am going to try a 'whisker biscuit' but I'm concerned about beating my fletchings apart....there are others(quite a few actually) Can anyone recommend or suggest other types they use or have used?
Thanks

Have a look at the RIPCORD rests. They are drop away rest that you can lock the launcer in the up position. They hold an arrow extremely well and are great for hunting. You can tilt your bow 90 degrees with an arrow nocked and the arrow won't fall off the rest.

Also look at APA Innovations. I have a drop away rest that forms a rough C shape around the arrow, so I can hold the bow upside down and the arrow won't come off.

If you do go to a whisker biscuit, make sure you're using shorter vanes like 2" Blazer Vanes. I was having problems with regular crappy 4" vanes...switched to 2" blazers and it seems to have solved the problem.

i have a top flight phantom drop away. full containment rest. I can hike all day with an arrow nocked and it never falls off the rest.

although, i usually dont hike with a nocked arrow.. theres a good chance i might catch the arrow and break it or stab myself!

I sent an email to APA...their rest looks interesting. Do you have to shoot smaller vanes through it? Is it quiet?
And their bows look very high end....they put some real thought into the design eh....imagine, actually designing a riser with a balanced carrying handle, a crook to hang it, and places to tighten broadheads and nocks...and all made in Biggar, Sask.!

the APA safari Twister is a great rest ...

I personally shoot the whisker Bisquit on my hunting bow ... the best trick found to save your fletchings is put a dab of fletch glue on the leading edge of you vanes, also treat the bisquit whiskers to a light spray of "Armour All" . I did this and through my Hoyt Super tec i didnt lose any speed nor did i sacrifice accuracy ... what I gained was alot of peice of mind.

I've tried many different rests. I always come back to this one...as BZM says (not in so many words - but still the intent is there - it's almost bullet proof. It's the Safari Twister, as you can see.

Yep what he said.......never had my biscuit tear a fletching yet.

Yes, the rest is quiet. No, I haven't had to change to smaller vanes. I wouldn't like to have buck fever though, if I hadn't nocked an arrow already, it can be a little fiddly. I like their bows, I have one of their older models, and am considering upgrading. Their customer service is great too, as I have dealt with Sharmaine via email.
