Default RE: thoughts on whisker bisquit

My only issue is how rough it can be on standard 4 inch vanes.
great rest the only problem i had was noise.I used to shoot xx78 2315's but after scaring away every deer i tried to draw on i switched to carbons and have not had any more problems
I don't like them they make noise as the arrow goes through . And they tear up feathers. And the colder it is the more noise they make.
I will say that I do hear my arrow when I am drawing back my bow sometimes dragging through my biscuit but dont they all? I was drawing on a muley from a stalk Id done on him and at 40 yards we both heard it I think.I was still behind a bush when I drew and I know thats what he heard when he alerted on my proximity.....Im stealthy like that.
I got one and agree on the noise somewhat,
According to the CAP website (makers of the WB).....the folks above and I aren't the only ones that have had issues with the WB and noise. They have a section of their site dedicated to reducing the noise of the WB. I used this rest for a portion of last season.....and loved everything about it.....except the noise created by drawing MY arrows across the bristles. I say "MY" arrows,......because all carbon arrows don't have issues with the WB. Mine did. It cost me a deer. If there had been a proven method for silencing the rest.....I'd still use it. As it stands.....the fall away I switched to has full arrow containment capabilities.....and none of the noise. There are conversations that go on like this on various forums, every week/month. The noise issues associated with this rest are commonly pointed out as "A" reason people switch. With some of today's fall aways offering full arrow containment capabilities.......I just (personally) don't see the allure of this type of arrow rest.

It's a great rest......and it's proven itself popular. It also has downfalls that I'm not willing to accept.
