a drop away rest? Sorry, never liked the biscuit any. Tear up your fletching and noisey on the draw.

Put an extra drop of glue at the front and back of your fletchings. That is what I do and I have no problems with my WB ripping them off.

I've been shooting with a Biscuit for 6 years and NEVER had a vane come off an arrow. I shoot 4" vanes that I refletched myself, and have never had a problem. They can make some noise when drawing though, depending on the finish on the arrow.

As mentioned previously, you need a drop of fletching cement at the front and rear of each fletch. Any competent shop should know this. Otherwise, you have some sort of tuning or clearance problem. Going to a drop away may solve your problem with the veins coming off, but there is still most likelysomething not right here with your setup.

Build your own deer missles man. Then you don't have to depend on some kid at a shop ruining your huntint time. It's easy. Get a decent jig, some blazer wraps, some good glue and go to town. They won't come off.

Shoot odd vane up with that rest, the bottom black bristles are tougher than the brown ones. You dont' want vanes hitting the black bristles.
