You can forget about shooting with a whisker biscuit if you are going to shoot them.

If I'm shooting vanes, which I usually don't, then I'm shooting Blazers. I am considering putting them on all my arrows because I have my Limb Driver dialed in so well.

I doubt you will notice a big difference at 20 unless you have a nice strong crosswind. Fob's were designed to guide big nasty broadheads. I have been shooting them for over a year and they do work. If you have any trouble with your set up just e-mail Paul the owner of Starrflight He will talk you through it. He has compiled a long list of tricks and tips with most of the drop aways on the market.

I think that you would be better off shooting Blazers and a smaller boradhead, like the g5 striker or Wasp Boss, than some monster 2" diameter fixed blade that weights 185 grains (They are out there). If you really want to cut a 2" hole, get the rage. Stick to blazers as long as you are shooting the WB. Once you switch to a drop away. You might want to think about getting feathers. Feathers weigh less than vanes and will therefore be faster. However, feathers also slowdown faster than vanes and take over at about 30 yards.
