I am all about killing with my bow........So I stick to what I am confedent with, old and slow, and really know what 20yds is...That kind of thing.  But your reason for going to a fall away rest is a good place to start. Why are you thinking about a change?

Al, I have a whisker biscuit right now. It does a good job but it's hard on the fletching and I lose some speed, and probably a little accuracy.
I was really just curios what everyone else thought in case I do change my mind.

I switched from a whisker biscuit to a drop away(I forget what brand, I'll check later) last year and my accuracy improved.

I always liked the whisker biscuit but if you don't have perfect follow through your accuracy will suffer. I didn't really notice it until I started shooting 3-D. After I switched my score went up about 25 points. Mostly because I didn't have that occasional dropped shot from lack of perfect follow through. A drop away is alot more forgiving.

I've got a "pressure/plunger" type rest on my old Martin.  Not sure what the correct name for it is or even who made it now.  The rest looks like a horizontal allen wrench next to a plunger button.  I usually shoot with three fingers under the arrow and no sights.  Whisker bisquit and drop away are new to me.
