Just shot a new hoyt and I used a release for the first time. Wow, is it an improvement compared to my browning. I just might have to go buy it really soon.

What rest and releases do you guys use? How cheap are they? I don't have to much to spend. I have to get a whole set up plus arrows.

    I use the whisker biskit and a true fire release. I don't remember what they cost it has been to long ago for me.....or to many beers maybe.[;)]

    Why do they make it taste so good and put it in them little bitty cans- Dad

    Gun bans have never accomplished anything, other than to create a safe working environment for criminals.

    I am looking at the Ultramag, dozens arrows/shafts, rest, release, quiver, sight, and stabilizer for around 600ish. I don't know if I want to buy the acceroies (sp) kit from Hoyt, or get stuff from off the shelf.

    My opinion forget the whisker bisquit and put a good drop away rest on it. I use the shakey hunter made by trophy taker on my hoyt and love it.

    I am not going to go with whisker bisquits, i just don't trust them and don't like them.

    I use a bisquit, a trophy ridge sight, and a true fire release. There are flaws in about every rest out there including the bisquit. Get what you feel most comfortable with and have a blast. Cause when it comes down to it when that time comes to stick that big buck or any deer, that is the moment of truth.

    Better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!
