I was wondering when one of these would pop up.
I prefer the Whisker Biscuit for hunting purposes. I like all of the "pros" the rest has to offer.
It's simple...simple to set up and simple in it's operation.
It's sturdy and will never need any adjustment, nothing will stretch or wear out. (if you wear out the biscuit bristlesyou are a shooting machine!!)
No moving parts to break.
No mole skin needed...my bow is a "no mole skin zone".
Arrow stays secure, no flopping around.
It's quiet.
If installed and set up correctly, It won't damage your vanes. This I think is the biggest complain about the rest, how it damages vanes. I've heard everything from it making small waves to ripping them off.
When I first purchased mine (old all black bristle design) when they first came out,it made my vanes wavy. Nothing I could do would correct it. My bow still shot good so I lived with it. Then the new B2 biscuit was introduced. It's the one with the black and brown bristles. I put one of those on but still had some minor waving of the vanes. It wasmuch, much better but still some slight waves. I realized that I was using the wrong size opening and changed to a larger one. No one problem since....not one.
No need to switch to blazers, feathers, nope just 4in el cheapo vanes. It's important to select the correct size opening for your arrows, if in doubt go one size larger. Make sure it's installed correctly and tune your bow for correct center shot, tiller, etc.. and you won't have a problem with vane damage.
