The right arrow rest ensures your arrow shoots straight at top speeds when bowhunting, increasing your chances of a successful hit and harvest. If you want to maximize your ability while shooting a compound bow, recurve bow, or crossbow, you need an arrow rest that matches your style. Below are answers to some questions about them to help you find the right one.
FAQ:
What is a drop away arrow rest?
A drop-away rest eliminates the amount of contact between an arrow's fletchings against the rest. This reduces friction and increases the arrow’s speed. A drop-away arrow rest has a simple function with minimal issues, making it a favorite among target shooters and bowhunters.
What is a shoot-through arrow rest?
The most popular type of shoot through rest is the Whisker Biscuit from Trophy Ridge. The Shoot Through Rest has grown to be very popular among hunters because it allows the arrow to remain secure on the rest before drawing the bow and while in a ready-to-fire position. Plus, the Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit keeps the arrow fully secure while walking or hiking and practically eliminates the possibility of knocking that arrow off.
A shoot-through rest also remains in contact with the arrow the entire flight length. This allows a more accurate and consistent shot. While a shoot through rest slightly impedes the maximum speed of an arrow, this is a negligible amount that doesn’t outweigh the benefits.
What is a standard arrow rest?
While not many people use standard arrow rests on compound bows, traditional bows and recurve bows still use them for target shooting and hunting. A standard rest usually has a double-prong design that allows the arrow to rest upon it with minimal contact. The arrow stays in contact with the standard rest the entire time and the fletchings often touch the rest prior to full flight. Although perfectly fine for less than 30 yards, the quality of a standard rest begins to wane as compared to drop away or shoot through rests.
