Who uses them? I like the idea of them as I do kinda snap shoot my Deer with a Bow,by that I mean I stalk up a creek and jump them at close range I do this with both my rifle and Bow, with the bow I make a call with my mouth that frizzes the deer about 60% of the time with Mule deer and about 30% with whitetail. Usually hunt with a old Browning Recurve 45 lb bow it for me is ten times better for a fast point and shoot style I use compared to the Compound I have, a 18 year old Bear Round wheel 65 lb.The problem I have with the Bear is the arrow rest I cant keep my finger on it like I do with a traditional bow but like the power of the bow but the arrow will not stay in place on the finger rest when I snap the bow up.
I love having sites on my Compound, I know I am old school Heck it was 11 years ago I bought some of them glowing sites at Jimbos in Calgary for my old Bear so I am out of touch with all the new stuff out there. lol,Had the brass pins before.

I just went through the process of buying a rest and after much frustration with drop aways that dont hold the arrow from falling off, I desided to get a wisker. best 75 bucks I spent on my bow. Im confident that it will give me years of use and its one less thing i have to keep in mind when shooting. and im finding that anything that builds confidence is a huge part of shooting a bow when there are so many variables. Its simple and it works...

I used one the past couple of years and liked it a lot. Great for stalking. Just went to a new bow and bought the Octane Hostage (bow tech). Similar set up except the fetching doesn't hit any fibers. Arrow is solidly placed like the whisker biscuit.

there a great simple rest (KISS principle) and shoot accurately.
The only reason I got rid of it was noise when drawing. ... cost me 3 deer. google it if you don't believe me...people always trying to put stuff on the arrow to silence them.
My drop away is completely silent and fully contains the arrow (for stalking) so I prefer to use it.

I use a whisker biscut and have for 7 years. Before I had one I would always run into problems with my arrow falling off my rest when I drew back the bow. I realize that I give up some accuracy, but I can still hit a tennis ball at 20 yards, which is all I need to do. The pros out-weigh the cons, I would highly recommend every bowhunter to use one. Make sure to get the one that allows you to drop your arrow in at the side, versus the older ones where you have to put the end (broadhead or fletching) through first, those ones are a pain.
