Default RE: Gettin a new rest...

Over eleven years have passed since I got my first whisker biscuit in the mail from a new company, Carolina Archery Products.

A lot of folks said it would never work. They were wrong. It did work.

For over eleven years I have not had to replace moleskin, nailpolish, or heat shrink something on the prongs of my arrowrest so I could shoot my bow again.

The old biscuit took a few hundred shots to wear in before they would draw and shoot quiet. The savvy hunters that actually shot the rest that many times recognized that fact and became repeat customers for the rest, getting a new whisker biscuit when the got another bow. And they saved the well worn biscuits for hunting!

The biscuit got improved over the years. The B-2 biscuit has zero speed loss compared to the original. But the biscuit still doesn't need any tape, moleskin, nailpolish, or plastic put on it to make it work. And its still the most reliable piece of archery equipment you will ever own.

Tuning a bow with a biscuit is so easy a caveman could do it.

I never understood why anyone would take a bow and add more things to that could go wrong to it. And that is what I see with dropaway rests.

I have seen plenty of posts where people try to improve the whisker biscuit by cutting or burning it for fletching clearance, but all they are really doing is defeating the selfcentering properties of the rest. The bristles will push the arrow back to the center if the arrows gets bumped or torqued off-center when the bow is drawn. And that is one of the biscuit's safest features.

The biscuit is quiet to draw and quiet to shoot. It doesn't freeze up or fail to lift or drop which can and does happen at times with the dropaways.

Look around and you will see a bunch of other guys have figured this stuff out too, and they are using the whisker biscuit.

Good luck choosing a rest. Hope you choose wisely.

Good luck hunting! >>>------------>
