New arrow rest
I'm looking for suggestions for a new arrow rest. I have a whisker biscuit that is getting worn out and I'm thinking of trying a drop away rest. I don't really have any experience with them so i'm looking for some suggestions. I'm looking for one that has some kind of containment so the arrow stays in place while stalking.
Thanks for any help.

QAD gets my vote
I have a Rip Cord red on my CRX, had a QAD on my Maxxis...I like them both greatly, but the QAD remains up and locked when let down, the Rip cord does not.

I have a QAD as well, but I would like to try a "limb driven" full containment system the next time around. I like the idea of not interfering with the cables.

Thanks for all the replies. I looked at all these suggestions on youtube. I think I'm going to try the QAD ultra. Does anyone know offhand who carries these in Calgary and how much they are ? Thanks again for all the input.

If you go to the Calgary Archery Centre you could have a look at the Quad and the APA twister CDX as well at the same time and do a comparison with them both at once.
My vote would be for the Twister been shooting with one since the fall of 2008 with 0 failures

 QAD For Drop away...but dont overlook the new Balistic power shot Whisker Biscuit or as I call them the Ugly Cookie...IMHO the best hunting rest hands down...most Drop aways have 22 moving/parts `and cords to deal with...
The ugly cookie has zero moving parts...hunted with it in the Artic circle, mountains, boral forest and desert like Prairies, rain, snow, dust, extreme heat with zero issues...as far as accuracy I have shot two triple hoods at 20 yards in three consecitive shots in the last several years with the Cookie...
full containment and as accurate as the shooter...

It'll always be a Whisker Biscuit for me I'm afraid. Simplicity at its finest... I haven't seem many designs that improve on it enough for me to change.
