RE: Whisker biscuit
Yes. I had a few issues with mine when I first got it. With that said, let me ellaborate. I am shooting Beman ICS Hunter shafts which are notoriously hard to keep flechings on. (I' m also shooting right helical). I probably went through a dozen or so arrows in which atleast one fleching pulled off. (This is not unusual for those who shoot other types of rests as well). I solved the problem with arrow wraps. This created a surface in which the fleching could adhear to the shaft securely. I have yet to have a fleching fall off!
There is an initial " breaking-in" period of the biscuit. During this time, you will notice (plastic veins) some discoloration (black) and/or warping along the edge of the fleching. After this " breaking-in" period I have not seen noticable wear on any of my flechings.
In my opinion, this is, by far, the best rest that I have shot. It is a dream while in stand. you can manipulate your bow in any direction without the arrow falling off the rest. It is just as tunable as other rests on the market and just as accurate if set up properly.
There is a slight loss in speed, 1 to 3 fps, but with a bow shooting around 270 fps, A couple fps don' t bother me at all.
Go for it!
