Default Instead of a Whisker Biscuit try a NAP Quicktune 360

I like the looks of this rest. It looks like the same idea as a whisker biscuit without the fletching contact...

I use to use one similar but have changed to the Zerro effects three years ago and will probably never change. I have zero effects on most of my bows.

I was thinking for guys who like the full containment but don't like replacing fletching every other day....

I would not want my vanes slamming into those 3 supports on that thing. Talk about vane damage [] They look VERY unforgiving.

What you are proposing is that people having problems with a WB damaging vanes should use this rest?? WOW........considering that if your WB is damaging your vanes it is because it is out of tune I would think that if those same people put this rest on and it was similarly out of tune this thing would destroy their setups.

That thing looks like it needs PERFECT nock allignment and PERFECT arrow flight to work properly on a consistent basis...........something I am not certain that a person unable to tune a WB would be able to achieve.

TUNE your WB.........or have someone else who knows what they are doing do it for you. Very simple solution. It doesn't matter what rest you put on that will ALWAYS be the answer to better performance from your setup.

I was not trying to refute your post. ITs a good rest and a good suggestion that some will appreciate. Also if the WB is messing up vanes, the bow needs to be adjusted. It is out of tune. My brother loves the WB and has never had a problem with vanes.I tried a WB, I works great, I just like the zero effects best. Im a fond believe that to each his own. What works for you, is the best for you. I mentioned I tried that rest, it was the earlier version with teflon coated prongs instead of the brush looking things they have replaced them with. It worked fine, but I did find it a little harder to tune than some other rests. Especially with helicals.

So what your proposing is that even a perfectly tuned bow and rest will still tear up your veins with the NAP 360 WOW

What happens if thearrow nock moves causing the fletchings to rotate slightly? Even if the bow is properly tuned the vanes/fletchings will contact one of those "arms" if the nock is rotated. I suspect it would not only tear the arm off but the vane as well. At least the Whisker Biscuit is more forgiving if you happen to have your vanes slightly off.

You have to shoot the cock feather up to get perfect clearance. At least with this rest it is POSSIBLE to get fletching clearance. With the biscuit, fletching clearance is impossible by nature of the design.With the quick tune rest, the brushes contact the shaft only, not the vanes. It might be a little finicky, but so is the whisker biscuit....

Do not take this the wrong way, but I would rather throw my arrow at a deer then use that contraption.

I would hope no rest out there is capable of tearing a vein.......that would really suck. If we are talking about vanes though........yes, I think this rest could and would damage vanes under anything less then perfect arrow flight. Even the slightest nock rotation or anything that causes that arrow to go any less then perfectly straight through it would result in contact with parts that are not designed to be vane friendly.
