Whisker bisquit ??
 

I've been looking at buying a new bow, possibly one of the kit bows where it comes fully equipped and nearly all of them have whisker bisquit rests and i was wondering how much, if any does it slow your arrow speed down? Seems like a good hunting set up but i've never used one.

It slows my arrow down 2 FPS. You won't be able to notice the difference. The good thing is you can notch an arrow and forget about it. When it comes time to draw you won't have to worry if the arrow is on the rest properly. I messed up a few shots with other rest (the arrow falling off the rest or between the rest and bow).

And if you bought the one for your arrows size ,it is quite accurate and quiet.If you are mostly hunting and practice there won't be vanes damage.

Thanks for the replies. I'll probably give them a shot. I like the concept of not having to worry if your arrow is off rest. Cost me a nice buck once. I don't shoot tournaments, only hunt and just want a good hunting setup. Thanks again

my whisker bisquit was a fletching eater, It also slowed my bow down more than 2fps

RE: Whisker bisquit ??
 

Yep, the newer biscuit style (brown and black bristle combo) should only slow your arrow speed down a very marginal amount....2-3 fps is the average. The older style was a bit worse in that regard as well as on its abuse of the fletchings.

i have not shot the newest style.

I have never shot with one myself, but know a couple of people who have. They both thought they were great, and had little to no problems with them.

If that's the case...you will be hard pressed to find another rest better than the Whisker Biscuit.

I dont have any problem out of mine. But with shooting feathers it tore them up a lil bit but when i got it put on right It didnt hurt them all that much

I shoot the old model. It slowed down some but not enough to matter, due to helical. I switched to Blazers and used a razor to cut the fibers to allow my fletching through. Contains the arrow and no fletching contact.

I also shoot the older whisker biscuit model and i do not notice any arrow speed loss (but i have no chrony to back this) but if you do alot of shooting then your vanes start to warp and even peel back slightly, i am actually selling my whisker biscuit and buying an NAP Quicktune 360, same concept but no fletching contact with this model.

I have a shaky hunter, drop zone, biscuit, tiger tuff prong rest- all hanging on the pegboard waiting to be mounted whenever I feel the need to switch.

Right now I have the B2 mounted up and will most likely leave it on. If you do any ground blind hunting it is a benefit to have the arrow stay in place when manuvering the bow inside the blind- that arrow sitting way out in front of the bow while at rest always wants to grab the wall and bump itself off a traditional rest.

The are also the way to go for stalking also.

I had the biscuit (New Droptine) for about a week before I got a drop zone. It ate my vanes real quick.

I bought the WB yesterday and installed it this morning, shot about 400 arrows today, lost the vanes on 7 arrows. No question, the biscuit eats your vanes up pretty quick.
