Default RE: Whisker Biscuit Problem

Has anyone heard back for the guy who originally started this thread with a question and a decision to make? Maybe he is plenty confused by now. This thread is getting to read pretty much like the Ford vs. Chevy debates I hear from 13-14 year old boys who have never driven a truck.[8D]

The guy originally asked for advice about what he could do to prevent the fletching problems he was having with the Biscuit. Some useful information was offered, as well as some interesting ideas about the nature of the Whisker Biscuit, and it's possible future uses.

If the people really want information about the rest, then a search will provide both information, and a record of who a) is generally trying to be helpful, b) might be a less than objective cheerleader, c) tends to be generally argumentative d) has little to contribute other than negative "trash talk".

Hey, almost everything we say on here are opinions. Some try to support their opinions with facts, others don't. You just have to read and decide what makes sense to you.

Again, to the original topic starter. If you are curious about the NAP 1000, go out and buy one.
(See how I am supporting the archery industry!) See whether you like it better than the Biscuit or not. Then you can decide for yourself.

I myself posted some negative thoughts about the Whisker Biscuit a few years ago. Too noisy on the draw, not accurate enough, too much fletching damage, etc. etc. I have to thank those guys who posted positive info on the rest, how to trim the Biscuits, how to tune with them, etc. Because of that info, I tried again and had a very good shooting bow with great arrow flight. The bow (when the shooter was up to it) could easily shoot 2" groups with broadheads at 30 yds.
Arrow flight must have been OK too, since I shot through a decent sized deer, taking out 3 ribs on the left side, and angling forward to take out the right shoulder before exiting. This was with a 60# bow, 28" draw. I'm not sure if I am even going to use the Biscuit this year (still deciding), but my experiences would indicate that calling it a piece of whatever is just ridiculous.

As one of our contributers to this thread once asked in a post about drop-away rests, "What level of technology do you really need to shoot a whitetail deer at 15-25 yards?"

Oh, and about ewolf and c903 being the same guy, not very likely. Similar opinion, very different delivery.
