what are the advantages of both a dropaway rest and a stationary rest?
Winke Responds: Dan, There are really only two kinds of rests I would consider using if I was using a mechanical release (a dropaway and a full capture rest). The full capture rests are like the Whisker Biscuit that hold the arrow entirely so it can’t fall off the rest. The fall away, when timed correctly (just follow the directions) will move out of the way before the fletchings get to the rest. The full capture rest (like the Biscuit) makes contact equally on all fletchings at the same time, which in effect, equalizes the contact to all sides of the arrow so it doesn’t get kicked off line. Both will work fine for most bowhunters. I personally prefer the drop away because I like the idea that the rest is not making any contact with the arrow once it has moved forward a few inches. (It takes that long to overcome the inertia and get the rest dropping down). The full capture is ideal for hunters who never want to worry about whether their arrow is in the right place when they hit full d
