I'm thinking about changing my bow set up. I shot whisker biscuit many years ago. It was ok but I didn't like the noise and damage to fletching.
I switched to a QAD rest a few years ago. It seems to work ok most of the time but occasionally I think it is too slow to drop away. I can shoot fine while practicing then I will have an occasional weird arrow flight. A costumer told me he thinks the rest is too slow for my bow and I am getting occasional contact.
When I released my one and only chance at a buck last year, I saw my arrow fish tail as it occasionally does. It didn't go where it was intended and my one big chance lived another day.
I'm sure it is not the specific arrow that causes my problems. I shoot every arrow with a broad head before I hunt with it. They all shoot fine until they don't.
I think need to revamp and change some things to get my confidence back.
I do some hunting out west so I like a test that keeps my arrow contained and in place. I only shoot fixed broadheads because I occasionally will hunt an elk and I want to use the same set up for any animal.
If you have a rest that you like, tell me about it.
I have also thought about weight forward arrow. Do heavier inserts help stabilize an arrow or help with penetration?
I'm ready for change and I'd like to hear what works for you.
