Arrow rest question for a Parker Ultralite 31

[ketch69]

I just go the bow last year and it came with a whisker buscuit rest. Are there others out there that will help me out much more. I kinda like the Whisker Buscuit while I'm coming to full draw. I have a bad elbow so I'm a little shakey on the draw sometimes and don't want the arrow dropping off the rest.

Also what release do most of you use and why? I'm using an old Winn Free Flight glove style deal that need to be replaced.

How about broadheads? I'm shooting Muzzy 100 grain 3 blades. I'd like to try some mechanicals but I'm only shooting 60 pounds. Is this enough for them to operate properly.

Sorry for all the questions, just getting the bug.

I have never been a big fan of the biscuit. Just by looking at it makes me think of noise. However I have never shot a bow with one on it so I really dont know how it performs. I would look at some of the drop away rest, I saw huge arrow performance change for the better when I went from a permanent rest to a drop away. As for mechanical heads, you always see this argument about performance. They do shoot like a field point. I have shot the spitfires, they do not have a rubber o ring holding the blades down. Which I like. However I have never shot a deer with them. The majority of my buddies love mechanicals and the rest hate them. Some of the guys have had huge bucks get away due to extreme angle shots that the broadhead just glanced off. Now with a fixed blade broadhead like your muzzy 3 blade 100 grain the broadhead will penetrate. For me I am probably going with the muzzy this year. Also the draw weight, dont have too much draw weight or you wont be able to effectively draw on a deer when in range. I shoot a tru ball release, I believe thats who makes it. Another good release is made by Scott. If you shoot a release I recommend putting a tru nock or one of those ropes on your string to keep from pinching the string to much when in full draw.

How does the arrow fall out of a wisker biscuit? It has a ring all the way around that holds the wiskers with just the one open slot for the arrow on the top. I have one and never had an arrow came out not sure how yours is. Mine is very quiet. This is the one I have, is yours made this way also?

I use a Golden Key Mirage. It's a fallaway shaped like a V. It is slef centering and does not touch your fletchings. I love it! I shafted an arrow @ 30yds after only using it a week, so that tells me the arrows are flying true!

The Whisker Buscuit is less noisy than you would think. I'm gonna give a drop away style a try. The Muzzy's won't let you down, I think I'll stick with them also.

No problem with the arrow falling out of the Buscuit, thats why I do like it.

OK I misread what you were saying.

APA Ultimate is another option that works well and will keep the arrow from falling off the rest. They are in Canada although if you give them a call they will most likely be able to ship you direct.

As for broadheads that's a crap shoot. I don't use mechanical's because I'm not willing to give up the penetration loss verses conventional. I use 75 Grain wasps on a easton 400 carbon arrow. They work for me!!

I have been using the WB for the pst 3 years on my Hoyt Cybertec and can not think of using anything else. I also use it on the 3D range and have no regrets. By the way I use the size made for the alumnum arrows een though I shoot carbons.
