I'm sure this has been touched upon before so i appologize for the repetiveness. My buddy uses a WB and loves it but it makes a screaching noise when he draws back. How can this be cured? He heard about spraying teflon on his arrows but i wanted to check on here for ideas. Thanks alot guys.

I do know that if the opening is too small (wrong size) or if it's out of tuneit will make more noise. It appearsSBGobblerswould like you to believe these things aren't important but they are.
As with ANY rest on the market today, you can't just slap it on and expect it towork to it's optimum performance. You need to adjust and fine tune it.
There are many many deer killed at very close ranges with Whisker Biscuit rests so they do work. Do somedigging and I'm sure you will find out the cause of the noise. Teflon spray while it may work is just a temp fix, he needs to find out why it's making noise.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

There will be people here that will tell you that he doesn't have the right size......doesn't have it tuned.....is a dumbaxx.....etc.....
BUT.....
I quit using the WB for this EXACT reason. I usecarbon arrows.....and I'd worked hard to get my stand NINE YARDS from a good, active srape. When the 6-pointer I was drawing down on heard the arrow come back through the WB....he went on full alert. I tried one other time to draw on him....but the WB was making a VERY slight "dragging" sound (like a straw broom on a concrete floor)....and I WAS right on top of him.
I went and had a drop away put on THAT DAY.
I've been called everything from someone who knows nothing.....to an idiot by members of this forum......but I was the only one there. I know what happened.
i have NOTHING against the WB.....as it's on my son's Illusion, right now. It's just not for me.....for this ONE reason.

What does your arrow drag across and make no noise when you draw with a drop away?

I was using aluminums and getting some noise. Switched to Beman ICS Hunters and no noise no mo'. You do need to make sure you are using the right size biscuit. It should be a loose fit. My buddy's son had one and it had too small of a biscuit and it definitely made noise.
