RE: Whisker Biscuit problem?
To quote Jim,
All I will say about this subject until after Vegas is that if you have not tried the new 2004 Whisker Biscuit with the newer softer bristles, then you really can't comment. I have and I can say that at 20 yards, it is every bit as accurate and consistent as the shooter behind the bow. I think the reason that more shooters don't use them is just because of what the other guy will think. I don't let stuff like that bother me. What matters is that it has no moving parts and no real issues. I wish I could tell you stories of the hours spent practicing and tuning that particular setup. I didn't, I just eyeballed everything and shot it. Shot the very first arrows with it at Guan Ho Ha on Saturday after a month off from shooting. Missed one early sighting in and another later in the game that would have been out with any rest. It went right were the sight was when it went off. Shot this 450 and another today, with 42x's. What I do find with it is that it is VERY ACCURATE rest. I have shot a lot of different rests before the biscuit, but since they came out with the new bristle design, I can't think of any good reasons why I shouldn't shoot one. What I find amusing is the popularity of today's micro- adjustable rests that cost a lot more than a good WB, but the archers that buy them usually end up setting them once and leaving them in the same place anyway. The Whisker Biscuit is a good solid rest, at a fair price. And yes, expect to see me shooting it in Vegas.
