RE: whisker bisquit
I feel it's the best hunting rest out there. It will slow your arrow down but I think it's like 1to3fps, I doubt you will notice. I believe the older style (all black bristles) wore on vains and feathers but the new type (brown & black bristles) if set up correctly will have little to no effect on them.
I use one and can't find one thing to complain about the rest....but that's my subjective
opinion.

Well i have a WB on my bow set-up and i have to tell u i really like it. Yes it does slow down ur arrow by a couple of FPS but its just priceless for stalking game or just taking a shot at that buck of a life time when the shakes kick in.

RE: whisker bisquit
I have zero complaints about the rest as well. It is fairly priced, easy to work with and when I am in my stand I just set my bow across the rail of my Summit and wait for chance to pick it up.......if that chance comes then I never have to take my eyes off the deer because I know that arrow will stay right where it is no matter what I do with the bow. It is silent on the draw and the shot and it is as accurate as the person shooting the bow is capable of. I shoot well out to 50 yards in my yard with it and have grouped broadheads out to 40 with no problems.
The key (just like any other piece of equip) is to have it set up properly. A tuned WB will do nothing to your vanes.........I did a test including pics in the tech forum of what happens when a WB is untuned vs tuned.
I started fletching some arrows with a nice helical on them this summer and still see no vane wear.
It is a great rest IMO.

RE: whisker bisquit
I changed to a WB from a Bodoodle Pro earlier this year. I'm still shooting aluminum and the only WB they had was for carbon and it wasn't the QS model but I bought it anyway and hacked out the hole. I was shooting pretty decent groups with it and was fairly happy with it other than some slight noise on the draw. They opened a new Cabelas in Buda (yes!) and I picked up a QS model for alum's. I suppose my surgery on the bristles was not as great as I thought because with the new biscuit I have to be careful shooting the same circle with multiple arrows. I love it. Of course it will need actual live hunting conditions to cement it. I was leaning toward a drop away but its looking like the WB may stick.

Never messed with one till this past weekend. I was impressed, expecially if you were to do a lot of stalking. It is also a great rest to use for a childs bow. My grandson will have one on his next bow.
