Default RE: Whisker Bisket anyone?

I use the WB and love it. It's a good hunting rest, but it does have some caveats. First, I shoot Beman ICS Hunters (carbon arrows) and it wrinkles the veins on them after shooting for a while. This is easy to fix w/ a little heat off the burner, so it doesn't bother me too much. The second problem I have is more of a pain b/c some of the veins tear off the arrow w/ this rest. I have had the front of the veins come off the arrow and have had a few rips. I hear that it may be the 'weakness' of the veins, but I don't know. Overall, I'd give it 2 thumbs up as a hunting rest.

In fact, it probably saved my two days ago when I took a buck at 14 feet or so. I was about 12 feet up in my stand and he was about 8 feet away. The shot was a fairly steep shot if you can imagine. With my PSE, I might not have been able to get the bow over the 'bar' on my climber w/o knocking the arrow off the drop away rest I have on it. I was using my Hoyt w/ the WB though, and it wasn't a prob. at all.
