![]() ![]() This limb-driven actuation offers several advantages. At the shot, the bow’s limbs quickly return to their static position, pulling the rest down and away. This allows a spring to push the rest up. When you draw a bow, the limbs flex inward toward the center, causing the actuation chord to go slack. Their actuation chords are attached to one of the bow’s limbs. Limb-driven pull away rests are activated by the motion of the bow’s limbs during the shot cycle. These rests are driven downward by some type of spring mechanism. This releases the tension on the chord and allows the rest to fall away. When the bow is drawn, the cable moves downward, pulling the actuation chord of the rest tight and raising or cocking the rest. They can further be divided into two types depending on how they are actuated: cable-driven “fall-away” rests, and limb-driven “pull-away” rests.Ĭable-driven fall away rests typically attach to the downward moving cable of the bow. These rests usually offer some if not full-arrow containment. And this allows perfect clearance and often perfect arrow flight. It holds the arrow before the shot, then drops away before fletches reach it. The drop-away rest does just what its name implies. This feature makes up for poor timing or even nock travel caused by the bow’s cam design. Also, because all three fletches contact the bristles of the Biscuit at the same time, it can actually help to channel or straighten the arrow’s flight. That’s because if the fletches are not perfectly indexed, or if the archer torques the bow during the shot, one or more vanes may contact a brush button on other full-containment rests, causing the arrow to fly erratically. But in my opinion, the Biscuit shoots far better. Other manufacturers have attempted to compete with the Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit, using designs where the vanes pass around or between brushes or buttons. But manufacturers such as Bohning were quick to respond with stiffer fletching, like Blazer vanes, which solved this issue. At first, these rests were very tough on fletching. At the shot, the arrow’s fletching passes through the bristles without affecting the arrow’s stability. The Whisker Biscuit holds the arrow securely in place using a full circle of synthetic bristles. This type of rest is exemplified by the original Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit. But they can be slightly noisy during the draw. This offers offering to hunters traveling to remote or extremely cold areas. They are generally simple, with few if any moving parts to malfunction or freeze up. Gone are the days of loose arrows clanging against the bow’s riser, alerting game. They capture or contain the arrow at all times before and during the draw and shot. That’s because a majority of hunting rests can now be divided into two types: full-containment rests and fall-away or pull-away rests.įull-containment arrow rests do what their name implies. If we focus primarily on hunting arrow rests, it narrows the discussion. They should take into consideration its compatibility with your bow, as well as its features. Archers should give careful though when choosing an arrow rest. ![]()
