I have Trophy Ridge Drop Zones on both my bows and they work great allthough they are just a tad noisy...to fix this i just need to put something under where the rest drops down..one day i'll do it... :wink:

GKF TKO Drop-away.

Can be used as a drop-away, prong style or rigid.

Best rest I have ever used.

I am testing the biscuit at the moment on my switchback.I am not super impressed with it having a few arrows flight probs compared to the Q tune 1000 I have been using up to now.It also lowers brace hieght like an overdraw so form is more criticale.

i've been shooting a biscuit for several years now and find it to be the best rest i have used. some people say they are not accurate but i have shot several perfect scores at my clubs 3d shoots.and they are great for hunting as once you put the arrow in the rest you can forget it as it will allways be there. :lol:

Dont take what I said as DONT BUY ONE yet as I have only had it on a week and have more work to do on it.The principle of the contanment rest is great so I think it is worth sticking with it for a while yet.

Pedro i have shot 1 for 3 years and shot better than ever with it. Billy Baker put me onto it, he swears by them and i figured a man with his experience word was good enough for me and he was right. Probably the toughest and easiset rest i have used. I think that its problem is that there is not enough bells and whistles for people and it does look ugly. But for hunting second to none. the arrow cannot fall off so you can stalk with the arrow on the string with out the worry of the clunk as the arrow falls off. Mate if you like i could lend you an older model i have it is the model you have to push the arrow through, the newer model is side loading, i lent it to dave pender just let me know and i will get it back off him if you want to give it a try.

ive just found out from a yanky pro shop that full helical fletching are no good with the bicuits, that you have to use off set flethings. what do you fellas think?.
also if i have to chang to off set, are they any good with broad heads.?

This hurts but I will have to agree with coach on this one. :shock:
I have seen no need for helical fletching as I can get great b/head flight with offset only.If you bare shaft tune your bow like I do and can shoot 3 inch groups at 20 mtrs with bare shafts then fletching is only needed for the b/heads.This is for relese shooting but a strong offset is what I put on the arrows I do up for the finger shooters at the club and they have no probs.I won the 3D round with the biscuit today and I think it is more forgiving now the fibers have loosened up a bit.It wont be coming off now any time soon.
Cheers KIM.

mate i shoot heliccal vains out of mine and the arrows fly true as. I would just wait until you put it on the bow before wasting hard earned money.
