Whisker biscuit question
 

I was thinking of swithcing to one of the wisker biscuit rest and was wandering if they work with or can replace an overdrawl also what is the opions of those that have used it.....THanks

I just put the Camo Whisker Biscuit QS rest on my bow. It is the best. There is no way that arrow is coming off. No more arrow dangling to the side of the string. You can move your bow any which way and that arrow stays still. Its the best for treestands. The best rest yet!

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

The whisker biscuit already acts as an overdraw, I think that you could probably just remove your overdraw and install the whisker biscuit alone with acceptable results.Good luck hunting!

i would consider the Muzzy zero effect!! I meet with the Mathews rep at a Bow hunting show this past weekend and shot several things and ask him about the WB because I was really about ot buy one. H etold me that he had complaints about it for three reasons one the WB is by no means quite whn you draw,( makes a scrathing sound when you draw, Two that the rest blocks a part of your field of view if you shooting down from a treestand and lastly after the WB after repeated shooting the ends of the wiskers will become brittle from the heat numerous arrowns passing through the biscuit. This will cause the ends of the wiskers to break intermidaely and cause your arrow rest to soemwhat floating or moving. Again this only occurs if you shoit alot.

I simlpy like the rest to be consistnet and in the same place every time with as little contat as possible. Thats why I have fallen in love with the new MUZZY ZERO EFFECT!... once tuned it IS AWESOME shot today with it and shooting five inch groups at 50 yards was soemthing I was never aboe to do b4!!

Good luck to you hope this helps!!

I was a skeptic at first , but after using a WB , it' s hard to argue with the results.

Noise- Depends on the shaft your using. Smoother shafts will be quieter than rougher shafts(that goes for most rests)

Blocking your field of view during a shot- [8D]

Heat/Britle wiskers- haven' t seen that yet. And the Wisker Bisket is made to have a loose fit around your arrow.......it' s not supposed to be tight around it.

It is a little tough on fletchings, but by following advise on this board that problem is irrelevant to me now. I use feathers w/a helical ....making sure they are applied well and I put a dab of fletch tite on the front/back of each fletching. Minimal wear on fletchings now !!

How good does it hold an arrow......the best !! You can slam your arrow back as you draw your bow and your arrow will not fall off. You can bump a limb and it' ll stay. You can have your bow in your lap and jump up to take a shot.....and your ready to go.

The WB is also the easiest rest I have ever tuned .

My biggest problem was worrying about accuracy. Well I found out that you can be as accurate with the WB as any rest. Recently I have been getting 1.5-2" groups at 40 yrds and avaraging 5" groups at 60 .

Good Luck!! I recently tried a drop away for my Mathews LX but traded it back in for a Deluxe QS bisket !! Hard to beat it !!

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

Price wise I don' t see how the two rest , WB and Muzzy are near the same catagory. A lot of people can shoot great groups with a $30.00 WB instead of a $100.00 Muzzy.
For a hundred bucks, it better be a darn good rest!! (I know it is, but ouch!!)

I also shoot a quick shot deluxe and would recommend the droptine to anyone in the market. It' s a little cheaper and allows for more vane clearance from the biscuit support bar. With my deluxe, I have to shoot cock down or the inside hen will whack the support bar where it wraps around.

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

Ive had mine on my bow since they came out - what 3-4 years ago.
Would not traded it on my hunting bow for nothing.

Little secret - get some car wax and wax your arrows (if aluminum) and they woll slide ever so quietly through the WB.

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

I shoot the Drop Zone and I actually bought a wisker bisket first, but do to noise and blocking line of sight, I bought the drop zone. Also I think that anything that hits the shaft or fletchings on an arrow has to effect the flight. Maybe very minimal but maybe not... and like I said I do not need any more noise then I got when I am drawing down on the B/C of a lifetime... Just my 2 cents...

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

I don' t understand how you guys are losing sight of your target, or getting vision blocked at all. I just went and drew my bow and I am not close to losing any vision. I use mine for two reasons. It takes away any chance of losing an arrow off my rest, and I am getting better flight than ever. If I am losing fps it is minimal and I don' t care and the wear on the tips of my feathers has not gotten any worse after the first 25 shots or so and is a non issue.

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

I second this. Once you get the initial breaking in period, the fletchings will get a bit marked up, but that' s it.

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

for hunting purposes the biskit can not be beat for the peace of mind of not woring about your arrow all the time. just hunt and shoot.

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

you guys with the vision problems must be shooting the new pie plate model. i have found if you cut two eye holes in the top portion of the plate it helps you see what you are shooting at .

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

well as for blocking your view, dont seem to have that problem. your suppose to concentrate on your mark with your sights, your not suppose to look at the rest if your looking at your rest your not seeing your mark on the target or animal and thats what causes wounded animals. ive been shooting with the whisker bicuit for 2yrs. and i like it, its been the best rest ive ever owned. as for it making noise when drawing, doesnt happen and im accurate out to 80yrd. my opinion is that the wb is the cats mew.

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

I own my own archery shop here in TN and have shot every rest there is and the biscuit is the best hunting rest yet I recommend it to all my customers I dont see how it blocks your view while shooting that theory is just plain wrong i dont see how this is possible I also consider it one of the quietest rest made as for fletching wear me or any of my customers havent haad any problems to be concerned about the biscuit id the best hunting rest in my opinion like I said this is just my opinion try one and I bet you buy one.:D

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

I was gonna buy a WB but i seen the Muzzy Zero Effect and the Trophy Ridge Drop Zone now i cant decide but i wont buy a WB too much flectching wear

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

I now have over 2000 shots through mine.

#1 no visible wear of the biscuit beyond the intial 25 arrows. I even looked at it with a magnafying glass and grabbed the strands with tweezers. They are not brittle in ANY way.

#2 Noise?? It' s absolutely silent with carbons, but I had to wax aluminums.

#3 The mystery fletching wear. I have seen virtually zero fletch damage using the recommended vanes by CAP. AAE and Bohning vanes do not show any noticable wear at all.

#4 visibility. Give me a break. Even when shooting instinctively you don' t sight that close to the arrow.

#5 Freezing rain and snow. The last of your worries should be the WB. What about your ice coated strings, cables, arrow and cams??

99% of the people on the net complaining about the WB and spreading falsehoods have never shot one.

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

love the rest, you need to buy one ,shoots great .

RE: Whisker biscuit question
 

My local shop has been trying for 3 years to get me on a biscuit. I fought it tooth and nail, but my bow and bodoodle just were not made for each other. The bodoodle would always " move" , no matter how tight, and how much lock-tight I put on it. Part of the problem was vibration, but I just lost confidence in the rest all together. I got sick of re-sighting the bo in, so I finally put a whisker on, and am ecstatic with the results. My groupings are the best I' ve had on this bow (3 years). I' ve shot easily over 1500 arrows with it, and no visible wear. The vanes got a little black right away, but it has not increased. The vanes I had that had a nick in them at the start did get beat up, but nothing since I replaced them. As far as vision, I have not noticed a thing. And I don' t think there is any better rest while hunting, that arrow is staying put! My 2 cents.
