Anyone ever seen this before?
Its been on the bow for about a year with no problems, it was fine my last practice session. The bow is stored in a padded hard case, I'm pretty sure that nothing was pressing against my rest in the case.
As you would expect, I wasn't shooting too well today. Any ideas as to what caused this?

Don't take this the wrong way, but....GET A REAL REST!!! The Biscuit is sooner or later going to go bad, and it's going to tear up fletches. Either a prong or drop-away either one will prevent you from ever having that problem again.
It's pretty obvious that something has bent the biscuit. The biscuit as you probably know is made with a metal ring, this is bent pulling the plastic frame with it. Take it out and straighten it out or buy a new biscuit, check the plastic frame for cracks. If cracked buy another, if ok re-use it as it will go back to it's original shape, especially with a new straight biscuit installed.
It'sa pretty sturdy rest so something has bent it. There is no way it's going to do that on it's own......none.

No offence but that's a pretty silly, biased and obviously un-informed statement there. Whatever did that tohis rest would have damaged a prong style or dropaway as well. The metal in the biscuit ring doesn't bend by itself, you have to bend it.
OHbowhntr, the Whisker Biscuit is a well made sturdy and reliable hunting rest, there is nothing to "go bad" unless you damage it as in this case.

Ditto!

Definitely looks like your rest got pushed in towards the riser, and the top part looks like it got pushed up. I've never seen this before, but I guess it is possible with the QS biscuits. I thought the plastic shroud would protect the ring, but apparently not. You can try bending the ring back out to round the shape and get a round hole in the middle again, or get a replacement biscuit. I am not currently using a biscuit, but I have used them in the past and they are a competent rest with good accuracy potential if they are set up right. Good luck fixing your problem.

Though I may not agree with what you say, I will defend to the death your right to say it.
Are you sure you didnt bump it on anything when you were getting it out of the case, a table mabey, or did you drop it, thats the only explaination i have for that.

That is basically really sucky luck. Either there was something in your case that really pushed against it when you close it (you would have felt that I'm sure) or it fell or hit against something when you finished shooting last. Did you notice it when you first opened the case or not until grabbing that first arrow to shot?? Could it have happened while you were getting ready to shot this time? Think, Think,Think. Oh heck, just go get a replacement. Like I've been told here, "Biscuits are NOT JUST FOR BREAKFAST" LOL.
i had the same thing happen to me! i dont know why but i took it to the pro shop and he bent it back
