Default RE: Some thoughts on the whisker buscuit

Whisker Biskits are great hunting rests, and far better than any drop away IMHO. With full containment, you never, ever, have to take your eyes off of the intended target to make sure your arrow is where it is supposed to be. Plus, it is simple and rugged. I do not find that with extra moving parts, lanyards, slides, this, that, and whatever.

You can get a false tune with ANY rest, much as Len stated. I find the WB no harder to tune than any other rest and far easier than some dropaways... As far as accuracy goes, ask Jim Despart about the WB---he shot a 440-something on a 450 Vegas round last spring, and shot higher than he had with other rests too in the process. They work, and work well.

It took me a long time to come around on the WB, but they are awesome for their intended use and my hunting bows all now have them installed. Now that they came out with the B2 biskit, they are even better than they were last year. Drop-aways have their place just like anything else, but when hunting it is best to keep things simple and sturdy IMHO. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
