Whisker Biscuit Adjustment

Okay, so I got the Deluxe Quickshot out of the package last night, watched the video on Carolina Archery on the installation procedures, and got that sucker on my bow. I made the necessary adjustments, centering the arrow to what I think is pefectly from left to right. But I adjusted the biscuit about as high as it can go and the arrow still points slightly downward. Slightly. I took my new set-up out and and put about 50 shots into the target. Almost all of them were right on (inside the two smallest circles of the bullseye) without making any adjustments to my sights. Should I be concerned about the slight angling of the arrow in the rest? It's not causing any clearance problems and I'm striking the target well within my comfort zone.

Have you paper tuned it yet?

Sounds like you might need to lower your nock some. Shoot it through paper to confirm if its right. Mine took a grand total of 6 shots to achieve perfect bullets. Some say paper tuning is not important but personally if I know my arrow is coming off the string perfectly with a bullet hole I always have good performance down range.

Even if it is hitting where you are aiming, you will tear up your biscuit as well as your vanes pretty fast. My wife shoots one and her's was slightly out of tune and we noticed some very fast wear on the vanes. She had it tuned properly and now it shoots better and the wear on the vanes is way less. also, she switched to Blazers which also helps.

Thanks guys. I did paper tune last night and found I am pretty much shooting straight through. When I did get a hold of the archery manager on the phone from the shop where I bought it, he said its common for it to have a slight angling downward while sitting on the rest. And several set-ups from others that I have looked at since then have the knock loop ever so slightly higher so that the arrow is at a slight decline on their rests too. Just overthinking it I guess. But better to overthink than miss opening morning.
