whisker biscuit nock high paper tune ?

I cant get a whisker biscuit rest to tune, they seem to want to shoot nock high through paper. Ive tried them on cam bows, round wheel bows, and single cam bows. Ive tuned a lot of bow rest and could get them to shoot bullet holes ( most of the time ). I have tried everthing. Nock height, tiller, spline, exc, exc ,make sure cams and wheel are timed. Any one else have this problem ?

Can't say that I have. I have tuned many of them, and if ever there was a problem it was with the bow it'self and not the rest.

Sounds like a tiller problem to me. On the other hand, I can't hardly see a variety of bows all having tiller off in the same direction, though I guess it's a possibility. It's not a problem common to the rest. Doesn't leave much to look at except operator error. [&:]

Go to the carolina archery products website, It gives tips on how to tune the rest. If I recall they say that you may be getting a funny paper tune, Maybe nock high I can't remember.

Sounds like you have delayed asking yourself: Is the time and frustration of having to adjust everything in an attempt to meet the demands of the rest so that your arrows will fly correctly, worth it?"

I would first of all say that you should be able to tune it correctly. I (alias "Bubba") have done it with several different single, dual and hybrid cam bows. However, if you feel that there is a problem, you may be better off going with another type of rest, as you may have more confidence in your setup. It's getting pretty close to opening day in most states. Time to get your setup shooting the way you want it and lock it down.

BTW, are you shooting with a string loop, or off the string? If you are shooting directly off the string, you could try moving the eliminator button down and attaching the release directly below the nock to see if that makes any difference. Good Luck!

I did forget one thing, arrow spine. I have ran into this twice. One bow was way underspinde, while the other was way over spined. In both cases I got nock high tears that could not be corrected. The WB is more "spine" sensitive than other rests that offer spring tension adjustments. I have many arrows around to choose from, so I can find just the right spine range for what ever bow I am tuning. this makes it easier for me. If you can get your hands on some arrows that are weaker and stiffer in spine and try them you have found your answer. You may also have a tiller problem, or a bad limb. I ran into that once myself.

Well, I was trying to tune my friends bows and they all have longer draws then I do. You all know what to long a draw does to your form ! when we tried to tune the bows with them shooting, it worked a lot better. I could get the bows to tune with in one half inch. And one of the bows was an older hard cam bow with the worst wheel (cam ) lean I have ever seen. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !
