Yeah I want somethin for her that has the full containment. Kinda like the whisker biscuit does. I've looked at many of them, but haven't tried but a few.

For bows that do not exceed 280 FPS the QAD is a excellent choice either in the hunter or pro hunter model. For Bows that exceed 280 FPS I recommend Rip Cord code red. The Rip Cord is about the only rest I've found that will completely drop with out any contact on high speed bows but the QAD works perfect on all Mission bows.

love the QAD ultra pro HD and never had contact on either my xforce or elite judge both at 70#.. ripcord is good too I just like that the QAD doesnt fall away if you let down, only if you release your shot

you don't need full containment IMO. On my trophy taker, when stalking, I just put my thumb over the arrow and it stays in the groove perfectly with no problems. My bow shoots around 300 - 310 fps depending on the arrow and I have had no problems with my trophy taker pronghorn. I don't get paid by them (although I wish i did) but I just think its a great product, one of the best investments I have made for my bow.

First of all there is not such thing as BEST in archery. What works for one will not work for another. My suggestion is try some out and see what works for you. I have my own opinion on what I think is best, but seeing from the post so does everybody else.

I have used all of the following: Trophy ridge drop zone, Ripcord, another prong type drop rest I cant remeber the name and now I have 2 Trophy Taker Extremes on both my bows...As said above there is no best in archery.. All of the rest I have used worjed great but when I switched bows another rest fit it better or worked better.. Lok at several and consider all your needs and options.. There are plenty to choose from..

I know there is no "best". What I am asking is what people like to use? You see advertisements for hundreds of different products and unless your a millionare you cant test them all. As for the containment, thats fine if you don't want or need it. My wife likes it and she feels she needs it. So thats what I will look for for her. I appreciate all that have posted their opinions, thats what I asked for.

There are several great fallaway rest on the market. First figure out what functions your looking for. Here are a few i have tested and recommend.
Standard fallaway rest i have tested. 1. G5 Expert 11 2. G5 Expert 1 3. Trophy Taker original, shakey hunter, or pronghorn.
Full Containment fallaway Rest i have tested. 1. QAD LD, Pro for faster bows & the hunter for slower bows 2. Ripcord 3. Trophy Taker Extreme 4. NAP Apache
Hope you find the perfect rest for your wifes bow.
God Bless

In my opinion if you want the best of both worlds (containment & drop away) go get you a Tri-Van Vanishing arrow rest. It is made by Mid-Atlantic Archery, I have put a link below for you hope it helps http://midatlanticarchery.com/arrow-rests/
