There are also rests simply triggered by sensitivity to the jump that you get upon releasing the draw string. Other designs have trigger cords attached to the limbs of the bow that trigger the arrow rest to fall as the limb pulls away from the rest. There are systems that attach to the bus cables on compound bows ( cable driven) and determine when to drop the rest by sensing the released tension in those cables. Well drop away rests can accomplish this in several ways. How does the rest know that the arrow has been released? By the time the arrow fletching has reached where the rest was holding the shaft. This means that there is no contact between the fletching on the arrow and rest at all. Drop or Fall Away Restsĭrop away arrow rests are designed to hold the arrow shaft and then drop or fall away just after release.

At full draw the cordage attached to your bus cables brings the arrow rest to 90 degrees ready to fire. There’s a handy little lever to prime the rest that you an operate with your thumb so you can be loaded and 80% ready to shoot with a fully contained arrow. The rest can be primed to 80 degrees using the thumb-wheel offering you a loaded and primed position for your arrow that won’t accidentally trigger. It’s worth noting that containment bar at the top can be removed if you want to use this for field, target or 3 shooting. Once loaded the arrow is offered 100% total containment within this rest and won’t fall out.

The whisker biscuit also comes in 3 different sizes for different styles of arrow. Bristles are quality and even after lots of use you can be sure they won’t lose their shape like some cheaper alternatives may.
