Whisker Biscuit Vane Damage Suggestions
 
Against my better judgement I bought a whisker biscuit for my backup bow. I've always used dropaways but I'll admit I do like the biscuit so far. My only concern is all the vane damage I've read about. I bought the one with the large size opening as recommended. My question is what type of vanes work best for the WB? Does helical fletching get torn up any worse with a WB?

Blazer vanes work very well, i tried the cheap way out with the dura vanes and I got cheap results. Blazer vanes are about $7 a pack. They are 2" vanes but they perform very well. My fetcher has a helical twist...it works just fine with my wb q2. Also get you some good glue. I came across some great glue called "Duco cement", I bought it at the Family Dollar Store for another application and decided to try it. It works better than the $5 stuff at the bow shop. I paid $1.25 for it. I'm happy with it!

Use blazers and tune it properly and you will have NO vane issues at all. I have an arrow with over 200 firings through a bisquit and you couldn't tell it from a new one.

Sorry to hear...we all make mistakes..sell it to a friend and get a trophy taker or another fine dropaway. No vane contactand free flying arrows are the way to go.:D

Man, once I got my WB QS tuned right, I was shooting 2 inch groups at 40yds easy. No problem except the blazers were still popping off. I switched to a TR Dropzone and the vanes are not making contact, but they are still not holding on well. I think I need some different glue. But the WB is a very accurate rest to say the least. I would use one except my speed is of grave concern with my setup.
