RE: Does anyone use a Whisker Biscuit anymore?
I have been iffy about this rest. I am going to be buying a new bow and I am really considering this rest. Do you all shoot the short vanes or will 4" work? I am not really a fan of the shorter vanes. Also I see there is a product to spray the rest incase it gets wet. Is this necessary if you hunt in the rain or just another gimmick?

I used a Biscuit for 2 years then switched to a Ripcord dropaway. I found that while the Biscuit is absolutely fool-proof (and very advantageous if your still hunting) it made a lotof noise when I was drawing down on a deer (shaft scraping aginst the fibers)and a louod nouse when the fletchings pass through the fiber hole. Being silent is the second most important thing to me during a hunt (behind not being smelled). I like the Ripcord. Very simple. Has a lock bar so the arrow can't come off. But I ALWAYS keep my Biscuit in my case just in case.

I've been a biscuit fan since they came out.Up against a wall with it now.I bought a Mathews S2 this spring and for the life of me , I can't get it to paper tune.Arrow spine is right but I can't seem to get the left tail kick out.

I still do. I switched to 2" blazer vanes last year because the longer 4" vanes were startin to warp a little. A guy told me it was because of the friction from the whisker biscuit. Now with the shorter vanes, no problems at all. I've shot some other rests, like the drop aways, and I like how they shoot, but I know if I got in the woods and had a shot at a nice buck, the arrow would slip off and I'd be pissed. Wouldn't wanna have to keep strugglin to keep an arrow on it, that's just me. I just like being able to nock an arrow when I first get to my stand and keep it in and not worry about having to make sure its up on the rest.
