New Wisker Bisquit
#11
I really like my WB......it' s the second WB I have bought, and after a couple hundred shots, it will leave my vanes alone. I love the fact that my arrow will never fall of the rest.

This topic is the very reason I logged on for the first time in months.
I purchased the WB last year and did not do a great deal of shooting through it. However, this summer I have been shooting quite a bit. Today I encountered a bit of a problem. I discovered that my arrow is fish tailing. I am not sure if this is something new or something I did not noticed before.
Has anyone had a problem with this?
If so, is it a matter of replacing the wiskers or is there a way to tune the rest?
I see that a couple of you mentioned trimming one or both sides depending on the shaft. Can you explain where you trim it, how you are trimming it and what effect does trimming have on your arrow flight?
Any imput would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the imput jred1.
I too have enjoyed using the rest durring practice. Have not had the opprotunity to harvest with it though.
I am not 100% sure of the cause or if it is a new problem or not. I have always shot with one eye closed and started shooting with both open. That is when I noticed what appeared to a fish tailing arrow.
I have never paper tuned before but I know the general principal behind it. The only question I have is, at what distance from the paper do you shoot?

loanstarhunter you can do this at about 6' its relatively simple the biggest thing is not to get frustrated just take your time. you can get a little book about 32 pages long at eastonarchery.com its been quite helpfull. its called arrow tunning and maintenance

The whisker bisquit and the NAP quicktune rest are the top sellers in my store. The Trophy taker is a not far behind. All these rest have a reasonable price point and are reiable and solid design.

The droptine quick shot WB is the best upgrade I' ve put on my bow. I was skeptical about both noise and loss of speed. I can tell you the noise is non existant and haven' t lost any speed out to 30 yds.
