Default RE: Whisker biscuit rest !!!

There people who don' t like the Whisker Biscuit, and talk it down (or post a pic of a competitor' s rest, even though no one really asked about it.)

I used to have my doubts about them, especially noise on the draw, and accuracy. I am currently trying out a biscuit that I trimmed flat, and cut a loading notch in like the new ones that are available. I am shooting quite well at short range so far. I was trying the biscuit and a Starhunter before possibly getting a Muzzy Zero Effect rest. The bow shoots well with either of these simple rests, and the biscuit has the added advantage of being a containment rest. The bow I am shooting is not the most forgiving bow out there, with 34" axle length and 7" brace height, but I was putting field points and broadheads consistently into an aiming spot that is about
1 1/2 ." True, it was only at 16 yards (max distance I can shoot in my basement), but it is also only March, LOL. I have some time to fine tune if it is needed. I think I have finally decided to use this rest and not worry about it. Don' t be afraid to try one.

As another poster mentioned, you can easily be misled by looking only at the paper tune, as it can sometimes show a bullet hole even though the rest is not in the ideal position. I would definitely reccommend group tuning after paper tuning with this rest (as well as most others).

Good Luck!
