I've been using QAD drop aways for years but for an upcoming cape buffalo hunt, I thought I'd try this model. I was excited to try it out and my bow shop got it mounted and ready. I went to shoot it, inserted one of my arrows, and the arrow sank down into the fibers. My arrows are apparently too heavy for it, so I returned it. Granted, my normal arrows are 650 grains, so they are heavier than the average arrow that most people shoot, but my buff arrows will be 950 grains once we get them built. The rest looks great and will probably work great with the lighter arrows, but for the heavier arrows, it may not work as it did my case, just something to consider. I would have done a demo video to show what was happening but I returned it as soon as I found the issue and bought another QAD. Great video, well done.
This happened to me with my arrows which were only 500gr. Still heavier than the “standard” 400-450 but the whiskers are clearly too soft for any arrow over that weight. Shame because I really like the original biscuit and it holds up whatever you put in it.
Good comparison the biscuit has been out for a long time the v max line, nope and as far as these guys saying should buy a drop away well not everybody can go drop 80,90,100 and something plus on a sight and besides you get get only a couple feet per second faster out of a drop away versus a biscuit. So keep on keeping on, good video thanks.
@big tine, I have no idea why people are throwing you shade for doing a quick little comparison. I appreciate the video because I bought a older style limb driven drop away and it seems to be malfunctioning, so I've been thinking about replacing it but the drop away I'm looking at is over 100 bucks and I'm just beginning archery. I don't want to knock fletchings off so I've kind of thought whisker biscuits wouldn't be an option but this very well may be an option for me, so I appreciate the information.
Thank you Andrew, great rest for sure & I really don’t think you can go wrong with one. Also Trophy Ridge has been great in the customer service department if you should need extra parts, screws & ect!!!
Good review, i have a drop away on my Vertix, im getting a lighter bow and will put one of these WB rests on it. keeping this bow simple, screw those negative comments!
interesting!! i have a conventional whisker biscuit on my bow and i have taken thousands of shots with it.. extremely reliable. My next arrow rest will be a v rest for sure!!
Hey, I liked the video. I'm getting then Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit V Max Arrow Rest. Like thinking behind this. Drop away rest in hunting situation not for me. Good for those that prefer them. Good to have options.
Heavy arrows like the FMJ slip through the bristles and after one year the inner screw broke when I was adjusting it. I personally have not had a good experience with this arrow rest.
I’ll agree with you that some of the thinner diameter arrows could have issues overtime. Did you contact Trophy Ridge about your issue? They are very quick to deal with any issues I have had on any of there products.
@@bigtineproductions5605 Thank you for your answer. I am German and am referred to my dealer who does not accept warranty claims after one year. A friend of mine's H5 visor also broke a load-bearing connector. Personally, I no longer have a good feeling about this brand.
The V-series is not good for heavy arrows...I tried it on one of my bows, (All my bows have the Biscuit), but heavy arrows don't stay seated properly...The Biscuit may have just a little more friction but it's better for maintaining stability and the most you'll lose in speed from a drop away is maybe 2 fps...Just saying...
I disagree if you shoot heavier arrows. My arrow is 585gn and the new V-Con biscuit couldn’t handle it. It sunk down during draw every single time. Also, biscuit are a bit noisy and to eliminate that I use a tiny piece of mole skin. That is impossible with the new V design.
Have you had any problems with your bottom left fletching hitting the frame of the v rest? I'm having this issue and cannot figure out what is causing it.
@@bigtineproductions5605 i did at 10yds and is good. Its a bear species ev rth package I purchased back in November. I swapped out the original rest with the v max rest. I thought adding the ability to adjust the rest up and down would help but didnt make a difference.
Why? Not everyone can afford these drop away rests but are still trying to build the best bow for their budget. This is information someone may use to better get into the sport of archery or hunting. Why hate on free information regardless of it applies to you or not?
Drop aways suck for spot and stalk and offer NO advantage over a biscuit. I only shoot biscuits on both of my Hoyt bows and on my Mathews, it's not a price tag thing for me, it's about using a fail proof rest that I don't have to glance down at before I draw.

You guys are trolls. Good review. Thank you for highlighting the real world difference from one model to another.
Thank you Derrick
Thanks. Helpful. Happy hunting
I've shot both...going back to the "old style" original Whisper rest for hunting... it works-simple as that...

Thanks man, I’m still enjoying this series of rests without any failures whatsoever!!!
I think, i will buy this rest
YUP,. Me too,.. it's going to Be, a V-Max for, my New Bow with, small Dia / Lighter, Arrows !

One would think the bristles would wear out quicker on the v series. Can you replace the bristles?
They have held up quite well & yes they are replaceable.

Have you shot it through paper yet? It sounds like something is very off to be hitting like that.

How much is the V Max ???
V Max retail price is 79.99 I believe.
I can’t believe someone actually made a review about a whisker biscuit lmao

@@karowhack2 if your gonna spend the money to buy a bow, get a decent product and get a drop away.
Thanks for watching
I shoot them all. Whisker biscuit original & the V work really well for my kids!

@@Hogheadsforbreakfast better accuracy, increased longevity of arrows.
Does a review but does not have a clue what he is talking about........
