Arrow rests for kids

I picked up a Matthews Menace for my 8 year old son. I'm undecided on the rest and I was curious what others did for their kids. Is a Whisker Biscut the best way to start?

My buddy went with the biscut for his son and it worked very well for him. Kids sometimes have a hard time holding on to the arrow and then it likes to fall off the rest and rattle or fall to the ground, right when the big one is coming by!

I'm not a huge fan of the WBs, but for what you're talking about, it'd be a great fit.

Thanks guys. I'm not a huge fan WB's myself. My concern was the impact of a WB while he's pulling in lower poundage range. But I agree with you. I think I'd rather have him be able to pull back and grow in draw weight without concern of it falling off the rest.

The Whisker Biscuit is a good starter. His arrow won't fall off or clang anything when he's drawing on his first deer.

Is there an echo in this post!

Whisker Biscut the best way to start builds confidence at a young age.

Hard to beat the Whisker Biscuit for kids!

Amen to that. Keep it Simple for them, and this does just that.

I think you only lose like 5-7 fps using a WB so I wouldn't worry about it too much. It really is a perfect rest for kids.

I bought our daughter an Octane Hostage, it is similar to the Whisker Biscuit but with only 3 sets of brushs. That way the fletchings do not touch anything upon release and scrubbing off less energy.
