RE: Regret the Whisker Bisquit
Well I have a whisker biscuit on all of my bows and except for the first one (which was corrected) I never had any fletching wear. Maybe I have "magical" biscuits, or maybe I set it up right.
With the first one I had no idea how to set it up. I just put it on the bow and made suremy arrow was level.I immediatelynoticed wavy vanes after about 10 shots. I am just an average archer and hunter, not a shop owner,I don't evenhave a bow press, so I'm not some "expert" but, I have common sense and know how to read.
So I did some research on line and found that if you are shooting a biscuit it's best to start with an even tiller (easy to do) true center shot (again easy to do) and a 90 deg. nock for a perfect level arrow(once again easy to do) and go from there. The only other thing is to make sure the biscuit itself is level (and yes once more that too is easy to do)
Well I then did a paper tune and had perfect hole. So far so good I thought, so I skipped the next steps and went straight to sighting in my field tips. Once that was done I tested fixed broadheads (Thunder Heads and Montecs) Guess what? they both flew like my field tips out to 40 yds. What more can you ask for from a hunting set up?
The only other thing I did was put on Vane tech vanes because the vanes I had on my arrows were wavy from the first biscuit set up. Since then no problems at all. That was only 6 arrows (practice) the other ones still had the original vanes on them as they were the ones I used for hunting. I have since switched them as my practice arrows and they are still in good shapeafter hundreds of shots through them.
SO.......I have a simple question. Did I just get lucky and buy three Whisker Biscuits that are easy on vanes or did I set up the rest correctly and thus am getting good results from it?
