RE: Whisker Bisquit
C903,
You' re wrong. The rest has shown no noticable wear for me after more than 25,000 shots. So, in other words, your statement is incorrect. To put it another way, your statement does not reflect reality. When it comes to wear, every other rest I' ve ever used, required more adjustment or maintenance because of wear. Virtually every 2-prong rest with another material over the prong, will show wear that requires adjustment and replacement far more often than a biscuit, which I would guess would last the average hunter well over 10 years with no wear or adjustment necessary. Even back when I shot plungers and the little glue on tab rest on my recurve, I was frequently replacing the wire arrow holder or the whole rest. As a hunter, I can be rather rough on my equipment and the whisker biscuit has held up like the rugged rest that it is.
The rest also does not have to be modified to be used correctly, although some prefer to modify it. Also, you do not have to sand certain arrows, though some do choose to do so. Your statements are false, not true and completely misleading. Some of us will tinker with almost every accessory on our bow, but that doesn' t mean the accessory will not work without modification. The Whisker Biscuit works fine out of the box. It does not have to be modified and you never " have" to sand an arrow.
If you would change your statement reflect what us users have been saying, then we might agree on a couple of things. Some prefer to modify the biscuit, and some prefer to sand certain arrows and some prefer to shoot it exactly as it comes from the manufacturer. However, none of it is necessary for the rest to perform admirably.
