RE: Whisker Biscuit Rest
 

I'm happy to hear others respond RE: the noise. I've stated on here before.....that I LOVE the biscuit. The concept is phenomenal. BUT....I had worked to get my stand to within 9 yds of an active scrape....and the minor noise from the biscuit spooked my buck. No one was there....except me.....so they can't elude to what spooked my buck. The noise from the biscuit got his attention (and in all honesty...he didn't bolt.....he just went on full-alert).

I went to the archery shop and bought a drop-away, that afternoon (brand is not important). A little bit of moleskin.....and it's 100% stealth.

you can trim the wiskers also and that will probly help and switch to carbons.

RE: Whisker Biscuit Rest
 

I had the same problem and this is how I made my WB 100% silent. Cut a 2" piece of mole skin just wide enough to fit through the hole and attach both ends of the mole skin under the rest (metal part). This is covering the bristles and the arrow is then resting on top of the mole skin making it silent. Be sure that the arrow does not fit tightly in the hole once your mole skin is on. This has worked great for me.

RE: Whisker Biscuit Rest
 

Thanks for all of the advise. I will try a few of the cheapy ideas like the wax, and moleskin first, but just may have to move to a drop away. I like the whisker biscuit design though.
I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again.

I use the WB with carbon arrows and have not had a problem with the deer hearing the draw. The only noise they hear is the arrow going thru them. Good luck with making your arrows work. The cheaper the fix the better IMO.

RE: Whisker Biscuit Rest
 

You are worried over nothing IMO. I have never had a deer spook due to any sound coming from my rest. Anyone who says that deer bolted when they drew their bow has no way of knowing whether that deer heard something, saw their motion, or both. My guess would be the movement of the draw is what got them busted..............it's much easier to blame a sound though because then it's not your fault ;)


If a deer gets close enough for me to draw an arrow through my WB....the only sound he will hear is my mouth grunt and the thud of a broadhead as it hits home.

Atlasman:

We've been round and round on this.....and the only question I have of you is....were you there the day the bicusit made the noise that put my buck on full alert?

Also....why wouldanyone want to grunt at a buck that is standing still.....braodside tothem @ 9yds. ?

I agree.....if the buck were moving......if ANYTHING were moving.....then the VERY MINOR (admittedly) noise of the carbon arrow being drawn through the biscuit would be a NON-ISSUE (again, admittedly). ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was moving (believe it or not....not even me). If you can hear ANY noise when you draw your carbon arrow through your biscuit.....then you'll see what I was talking about. If you can hear ANY noise at all ....then you hear more than I do with my drop-away.

That's the bottom line, for me.....and the reason I switched.

I'm happy the biscuit works for you. I wish you luck.

RE: Whisker Biscuit Rest
 

Sounds goofy, but try wiping your arrows down with Armor-All, I've found that it sometimes cures the sound problem!!

RE: Whisker Biscuit Rest
 

Um....Armor all??

I'm NO hunting expert.....but what about the SMELL????

RE: Whisker Biscuit Rest
 

Get the right size opening for your size arrow and the noise will be very minor. Yes, mine makes a little noise but my clothes make more noise than my rest does when I draw. I have had deer within 10yds that never knew what hit them.
