Whisker Biscuit again
I just hunt deer with a bow and have an opportunity to purchase a Whisker Biscuit rest at a good price. I have contemplated it for some time now because I like the fact that the arrow can't fall off the rest. You know, one less thing to worry about!
I've read that a bow is less accurate with a biscuit....but I don't shoot competitively...just hunt. Would it be a wise or unwise addition to my bow?

Myself, I wouldn't get a biscuit unless it was a drop tine or deluxe.......just way easier to use. I think it is a great hunting rest and if you can get it at a good price you will be even happier with it.
If your rest is tuned properly along with the rest of your bow you will not have any accuracy issues........just like any other rest.
I have no problems with accuracy out to 60 yards with my biscuit..........I won't shoot at a deer past 20-25 yards so it's no problem for me.
Enjoy

tracker, no need to change a lot of people are going to the aluminum biscuit for carbons for less drag. I'm shooting beaman matrix carbon-metal shafts with an aluminum biscuit I dont know if it helps but it doesn't hurt shooting 3" groups out to 45 yrds.

RE: Whisker Biscuit again
I just put a new B2 WB on this year and I look how it shoots field points and broadheads. My only worry is when I shoot paper up close I have a high tear of 1/4-1/2 inch but as soon as I get out near 10 yds. I shoot bullet holes and my groups are fine so I really don't know if it is anything to worry about.

RE: Whisker Biscuit again
The whisker buscuit is a piece of crap. just throw it away now. it is a huge waste of time trying to tune your bow with that junky rest on your bow.
the only reason i shot 2 of my deer this year is because my friend shoots a bodoodle (very nice rest) two-prong arrow rest and his arrow fell off at the moment of truth. so i figure the less people using a biscuit, the more people this will happen to, and more deer for me.
its a good rest. you wont be dissappointed.
