anyone get a whisker biscuit or contain rest they are willing to get ride of? I sold mine on my old bow so i would like to get another one just a bit newer then the one i had. Doesnt have to be a WB just like the contain type rests.

Also if anyone has a decent quiver they would like to get ride of let me know.

Thanks,

Jaymie
 
thanks guys, I will look over at archery talk but anyone one here that has something let me know.


I have not had to buy a rest in 5 years any got a suggestion of some to look at under the $50 range? I would love to have a ripcord but i cant seem to talk SPIT into loaning me some money to get it lol
 
You should be able to find a ripcord on Archery Talk for under $50. They aren't the Code Red but I bought a new one on ebay for $50 and a used one for my back up on Archery Talk for $35. I really like Ripcord rests.
 
It doesn't have it made onto it. I think my new one might have come with some though. I don't have anything on mine. I don't really see that you would need it. You could always put some fleece on it though. I don't know what the difference is other that the silence stuff and one being red either.

does the standard ripcord have the silence material on the rest as well?

not sure what the difference is in the code red and the standard.

There are several differences between the two. The Code Red as a longer and wider hole for the cord, which helps the longevity of the cord and it also has the silence material on the launcher and containment arm. The final difference is the Code Red has an improved braking system on it which helps it eliminate potential bounce-back.

For one, by not using it your accuracy will be greatly improved because a biscuit will greatly amplify form problems. Biscuits also have a tendency to form ice crystals on them when it is cold which affect arrow flight. Biscuits also are harder on your fletchings. Finally, you have to replace the biscuit when it gets worn out, and for people that shoot alot that could be every year. There are so many choices in drop-aways that do the exact samething that the biscuit does--full-containment, only better. And in full disclosure, I was a biscuit user until I made the switch and ended up greatly improving my groups and accuracy as soon as I did.

Thanks for the info... I use a QAD so I was curious as to the advantages...
 
one more question on the ripcord......i got one from a buddy but not 100% sure how it is suppose to work. I can get it to lock manually in the up position but not by pulling the cord back...is that how it is suppose to work?

it will disengage when you pull on the cord after you manually lock it though.


maybe a dumb question but i have shot a biscuit rest for 15 years so these new fancy ones are somewhat new to me lol

That is exactly what it should be doing and is normal. If you place the launcher in the up position and then draw the bow back, you will see the launcher "unlock" right before you get the string all the way back. The reason it will not lock when you just pull it back is because it bypasses the locking mechanism.
 
ok good deal, i just wanted to be sure everything was in working order before i put it on my bow to try out.


seriously you get out of the archery world for 3 years and its like the 80's and 90's passed right by HAHA
