W/B- When should I?

[RTA47]

I am shooting a o4-bowtech justice, I have had the same w/b on it without any changes other than tunning,

After shooting these past few times have noticed that my arrows are not flying as good as they did.
I noticed that my W/B disc is getting worn kinda of bad i would assume that this is where the problem is comming from, How often do most of you guys change the disc in a w/b?

Never mind I`ll just replace it[&:]

RTA47,

Don't replace it, you will only be masking a bigger problem. When the Biscuit starts to get beat up it means the arrow is not pushing through it cleanly. There are many reasons why, it could be a positioning problem (check that first) or even a spine problem.Once fixed the biscuit will show very minimal wear and will last for tens of thousands of shots.

Good luck.

Bigj71 Thanks for the advice, I `ll take my bow back to the shop and have them take a closer look at my problem, Like you sead the W/B should last much longer and not so much wear and tear?
A new one would only cover up the problem for a while,
I want it fixed right.
Thanks...

RTA47,

It actually doesn't take much to get back shooting good again. I experimented with mine a few months back after another one of those huge Whisker Biscuit threadswhere some folks were saying it ruins their fletchings.

I purposely moved it too far out of center shotto see what would happen. Sure enough the fletchings were slamming into the bristles on an angle as it left the biscuit. Still didn't tear up my fletchings but it did leave some sort of a scuff mark onthembut it really started to mess up the biscuit.

The arrow still flew pretty good believe it or not, of course it wasn't hitting where I was aiming anymore but the arrow appeared to be flying good. After a few shots I started to see some abnormal wear on the biscuit. I re-adjusted it back tohow I had it setand all was fine again.

Try this.....Set it to true center shot with the string. Then instead of paper, due a walk back tune. I have found that works best. You will see that you won't have to move the resttoo much (if any)to get shooting a straight line up and down. Re-set your sights and your back in business.

Good Luck.

Forgot to add.....I also noticed a lot more noise both on the draw andrelease when the biscuit was way out of adjustment. Once put back, it was quiet again....food for thought.

Bigj71 thanks a ton buddy! What you have discribed about the noise and flething scuffed up sounds just exactly what mine is doing.
I will take it to the proshop this week and have them help me check it out, Thanks you.
