Rests


Recommended Posts

Whisker Biscuit is the way I go, it's as simple as it gets, my arrow never falls "out" of the rest and I can shoot at any angle.

I lose a bit of speed compared to other rests out there, but they are also considerably more expensive. Since I hunt with an affordable bow anyways, I'm not going to pay hundreds of dollars for a rest.

WBs are rock solid, bomb proof rests that a ton of people love and have been successful with. They require little adjustment and effort in setting them up. That being said, I'm not personally a user or a fan of them. For me, I want minimal contact with the rest (read: drop away), not maximal contact (read: WB). I shoot a QAD Ultra Pro HD too and I absolutely love it. It's perfectly silent- I can't hear my arrow on the rest when I draw it- not one tiny bit. I certainly can't say that for the WBs. JMO on this one- lots of people love WBs and have had great success with them. Different strokes for different folks...

A WB will do an excellent job w/ just a slight amount of speed loss. There's a reason they're so popular - they simply work in all conditions! If you're looking for a drop-away, there are several quality models. I've shot Trophy Taker, Ripcord, & currently a Limb Driver and haven't had a single issue with any of them. As others have mentioned, QAD is another great choice. Pick one within your budget and start shooting!

i have QAD ultra rest HDX. and i love it. the QAD ultra rest is cheaper and is made for more slower bows but still works good. i have also shot that but this spring i upgraded to the HDX. The HDX has a lifetime warranty on it so that is also plus.

I also shoot the QAD HDX it is awesome and easy to adjust. The best part is when you draw and decide to let back down or have to let back down the rest doesn't drop it stays up. If the Code Red would do that I would still have one on my new bow but that was the killer on that rest.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
