RE: Everything you wanted to know about the Wisker Bisquit rest and more

Two Beards:

No, I'm not a big fan of the WB and I don't hide that fact. I find it to be a major problem for those who don't know how to tune properly and for those who think they know how to tune a bow, but don't. I see too many going for the arrow capture feature and ignoring basic archery architecture.

If you feel a need to use a captive rest of this sort, it's one of your basic choices. Another would be the APA product, which might be a slightly better design, because it doesn't mess with your fletchings and introduce 100% arrow/fletching contact. That is if you know how to tune that rest as well.

In reality, even your drop-away rests offer various problems. Knowing and overcoming these problems is what many don't even consider.

5 shot answered your question to me. He and I discussed just this question when we met at the ATA Show. You are all very fortunate to have someone like him. He is very dedicated to archery and does a tremendous job analyzing products from a layman's point of view. Good job, Chris.
