Default Whisker Biscuit or Arrow Issues?

Okay, so I'm still wet behind the ears when it comes to archery and I am puzzled. I bought a fully loaded Hoyt Trykon XL earlier this year from a co-worker. Since then, I've shot numerous arrows through the bow. With the exception of 1 arrow (so far), each arrow has lost two of the vanes. Only the cock vane on each arrow in question has survived.

My rest is a whisker biscuit. I've been told that they can be harsh on arrow, but sheesh, this is ridiculous. Some arrows were set up by a friend, some where set up by a shop. The one that survived thus far was set up by a friend of mine.

I'm at a loss. They can't be that rough on arrows. I mean, I have no faith in this rest for hunting season if it's gonna rip off my vanes. My vanes are 2" Blazer vanes.

Any input is greatly appreciated. I'm giving serious consideration to dumping the rest and getting something else (however, I'll need recommendations / suggestions there as well).

Thanks, as always.
