Default RE: still haveing problems with my WB

Gary - your easiest solution will either be Blazer vanes or Feathers.

Your old bow was a lot slower, so it probably wasn't nearly as tough on regular 4" plastic vanes. Now that you've gained a lot more speed, it's going to be a little tougher on vanes than your old bow.

The blazers are thicker plastic, and won't rip as easily. Feathers lay flat as they pass through the biscuit. Either way, you shouldn't have much difficulty once you upgrade fletchings.

Next time you get it to a shop, have them check your paper tune - see if you're getting a good, straight flight. Worst case, if it's not lined up perfect, you'll have to move your rest up, down, left or right. You can usually get it really close, just by eyeballing it, but most bows will need a little fine-tuning afterward.

I'd say your problem with the torn vanes is just that they aren't the best choice for a whisker biscuit. They're soft, and tear pretty easily. You'll notice an improvement in performance after the vane/feather upgrade.
