    Hi,
    I have developed a paranoid fear of bow failure.. I think it developed when i was hunting with trad gear.. My goal then was to make things as simple as i can with no possibility of failure.. This has led me to being afraid of drop aways (and also mechanical broadheads).. I have had them b4 but have a whisker biscuit on my spyder 30 and it shoots great.. I want to set up my new factor turbo to be super accurate out to 100 yards tho..(i am grouping about a paper plate at 100 with my spyder 30) And i feel like i could maybe get a little better flight out of a drop away.. so what do you guys think?? I am thinking maybe a QAD or keeping the biscuit...https://hunthacks.com/best-arrow-rest/

    I've had both a whisker biscuit and currently have a QAD. I shoot pretty consistently throughout the year and have never had one fail. My roommate has an older QAD, which is what made me go that route. He hasn't had any trouble with his. He isn't one to keep his bow in a case after each use either. I went with the HDX model since my guy gave me a good price on it, but from what I gather even their "lower end" models work just as great.

    I can't speak for the accuracy aspect, since I changed/upgraded my whole set up at once which led me to fine tune it all at once.

    I like rip cord drop away rest. Its super quiet and works great. I dont like whisker bisquits. They tend make noise when drawing an arrow so I just stay a way from them.
