Whisker biscuit question
I've been using a Whisker biscuit rest for a few years now, and it was great for spot and stalk hunting out west, but now that I'm out east again not many people around here seem to like them too much. I've heard a lot of people say that they get better results from the Hostage rest.
What's your opinion on the whisker biscuit? |
RE: Whisker biscuit question
Used em for 5 years. Love mine:)
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
I've had one since Feb. and I love it!

RE: Whisker biscuit question
It's a great rest and I've used it for years, but some folksare not using them correctly. The "Cock Vane" should be up, so the arrow will rest on top of the hard bristles. In this way the arrow's vanes will pass through the soft bristles and will not touch the hard bristle portion of the rest.

Are you falling to peer pressure?? Hey man,if you were cool you would smoke cigarettes like us...
The WB is an outstanding hunting rest, and a very good target rest. If it works well for you why would you let anyone make you think differently? By the way, your shoes are totally out of style, nerd. |
RE: Whisker biscuit question
if it works for you, why change? I had a WB for a long time, Had a hostage that came with the Diamond, didnt like it and put on a kaz away. Still have the WB on my High country.
No need to change what already works for ya.. |
RE: Whisker biscuit question
Will never trade my WB for anything else.
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
I had one and shot it for years with no problems at all so I have nothing bad to say about them. I did have a pro shop owner tell me that in his opinion they were "the best, worst rest on the market". I have since started shooting a drop away (trophy taker) rest and think I'm a little more consistantly accurate with it, but would not hesitate in shooting a WB again.

RE: Whisker biscuit question
awsome rest. on by last three bows
wont fit on my grizzly though:( |
RE: Whisker biscuit question
Ask yourself, what is the longest shot that I am going to take? If it is more than 40 yards, I would not recommend the WB because the arrow is in contact with it the entire time and if you move the slightest amount, your arrow will not go where you aimed. The longer the shot, the more this is a problem. TO eliminate this problem, go with a drop away like the Vapor Trail Limb Driver.

RE: Whisker biscuit question
last buck i shot with it i took at 50yards (i practice at this distance 50-75% of the time) makes close shots sooooooooooo easy
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
I promise that you would get tighter groups wit a drop away at those distances.
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
After many yrs with the WB I went to a dropaway due to the fact I wanted to get my 50-60 yrd groups down(speedgoat/muly) and the WB just wasnt doing it for me,I was just fine at 20-30-40, the WB will show bad forum past 40yrds being how it isnt as forgiving as a dropaway,my son now has the WB on his bow now and loves it.

RE: Whisker biscuit question
I was using a octane pro and had some issue with the brushes they kept getting wore out so I switched to whisker biscuit, I then chrono my arrow andnoticed a 8ft per second loss in speed and also my lazer veins keep getting tore up so after my hunt next week I am swithing to the vital gear kazaway rest no more octanes or whisker biscuits for me. but then again I shoot about 150 - 200 arrows about 4 times a week for practice so the octanes and whisker biscuits arent something that is beneficial for me
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
That vital gear kazaway seems complicated. I don't think you would like it. You might want to look at APA because their rests are full capture and drop away. Don't rule the Vapor Trail Limb Driver out either because it is super quiet.
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
Ive heard that helical fletchings can cause a problem in the WB.....but I shoot helicals and a WB and have never had a problem...I love it and would definitely recomend it.
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
It might make the fletchings wear faster. The greater tighter helicals would exaggerate this problem.
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
i dont know how much shootin you do. but i shoot alot and when i had my wb my fletching kept fallin off after that i switched a full containment drop away and i love. i still use wb for shooting carp works great
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
slayer i have too agree I shot alot and notice the same thing i guess if your just shooting to keep your bow tuned and a few times in the woods WB or the octance would be OK but I shoot alot at least 4 times a week 5 hours a day.
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
I disagree, just because you are strictly a hunter doesn't make the WB ok. You could do a lot better with a full containment drop away like the ones made by APA and QAD.
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
black, I am not arguing the Drop away at all:D ,all I am saying is most of the guys that go out in the woods with the WB are just weekend guys and that might fit them because like the simplicity of the WB and arent worried about groups and or speed since they arent shooting as much me personally I am looking to swtich because I need something more reliable and a product that will hold up longer and not chew up my arrows. F.Y.I. I called my guy here in town at the archery shop I will try the APA when I get out of work thanks for the heads up
|
RE: Whisker biscuit question
I had an APA ultimate twister safari on my bow until Sunday when I switched to the Vapor Trail Limb Driver. I switched because there was 1/8" of lateral play in the rest that I could not seem to be able to tighten. I figured it out after I bought the Limb Driver. The APA was very nice and I strongly recommend it, but it was not as nice as the Limb Driver. Anyway, try them out and see what you like best.
