WHISKER BISQUIT
 

I JUST GOT ONE FROM THE BOWSHOP AND GOT MY BOW PAPER TUNED AND IT WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY!!!

IF YOU GOT ONE .......

HOW GOOD IS IT?

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

A lot of people love them congrats!

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

i really like my qs bisquit. you never have to worry about your arrow falling off of the rest, and it's quiet. replacement disks are only about $15. it can wreck your vanes if not set up properly though. it also let me cut my arrows about 1.5" shorter since it sits behind the riser.i don't foresee myself using anything else.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

This is visited time and time again. Some people love it and some just.. well, don't....
I personally like it but most of what I do is hunting and I think it's a great tool for hunting from a stand.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Yeah...it is either love or hate. I have had one for a few years now and love it...never had trouble and fill all my tags. It's just in what you like.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

If it gets wet and its freezing out, they're useless!

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

I love mine, havent had any problems with wetness or freezing. Spray with with some water repellent.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

oh ok thanks alot guys i still havent shot with it except for getting it paper tuned but i really like the fact that i dont have to worry about the arrow fallin from the rest now

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

thanks alot guys i still havent shot wiht it on yet but i just really like the fact that i dont have to worry about the arrow comin off the rest any more

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Sorry we weren't much help. There are forty million threads on this WB and they usually turn into a 7 page arguement between us dropaway users and the WB fans. HCH

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Yep they will stay put and that could be a big deal. I don't use one and am calm when the moment comes to take a shot but still I have had the arrow fall off and have stop paying attention to the deer and tried to figure out how that just happened. It puzzles me. I've still made the shot butit is weird that it should happen then and no other time.

Happy hunting. Here's hoping you get the chance to try it out.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

I was at the outdoor range last week, I have 4 pins sighted in at 20,30,40,50 yds. And I have no problems with accuracy

I have it on my 2005 Triton NRG. I won't use anything else!

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

There have been documented (yet unfounded by "experts") cases of the WB creating "noises" (though unaudible to some people....and again unsubstantiated by "the" experts) that can reportedly (though not without considerable opposition) put game on alert.

These rests are great. But....the only downfall we (as a bowhunting community) can come up with.....is the fact that there's only five known individuals in the world that know how to properly set them up.

Jeff

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

How is that different from ANY rest on the market?


People always mention this as if it is something people should be concerned about.........

First of all.......if you are out in weather that is so bad that your gear is freezing over with sheets of ice then you are screwed.........and most likely should not even be up a tree. Your cams will be frozen, your string could jump off easily if there are hunks of ice on it, your arrows will fly who knows where if there is ice all over them and your release probably won't function well either.

If the weather is bad enough to make your WB not work then you have much BIGGER problems to worry about because none of your other gear will work right either and most likely your life is in danger.

I have hunted with a WB for a few years and have had absolutely ZERO problems with it in the field........weather related or not.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Is there any way it could affect the arrow flight?

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

I don't think I have EVER seen someone take getting busted by a deer so hard in my life

It might get kinda expensive if you keep tearing off pieces of your bow because you think they were to blame for you getting busted..........I have a cheaper solution for ya ;)



I sure hope one of those five guys installed the one on your son's bow.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Is there any way what could affect the arrow flight?

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

The arrow having to pass thru the biscuit.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Ahhh...........no, but honorable grasshopper has remedied. He changed arrows.

Nope. It's been taken care of. The next time I'm the only one in the woods and need to know what happened, though.....I'll call you.;)

jeff

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

I can shoot mine accurately out to 40-50 yards..........arrows fly flat and straight. Never had a problem with accuracy that wasn't MY fault.


Just like EVERY rest on the market..........you can't just slap one on your bow and expect it to shoot straight. Get it installed and tuned properly and you will wonder how you ever got by without one.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

How is that gonna help if the rest is the problem??........especially if like you said it was setup by someone who doesn't know what he is doing.


Yea.......definately give me a ring if you are gonna be ripping your setup apart and throwing perfectly good gear away.......I'll take it You know what???...........I bet it was your truck that spooked that deer..........or maybe your ATV.........or your wallet. Better get rid of all 3 of them........Even better...........send them to me and I will dispose of them for you ;)


Reminds me of all the guys I have watched duff tee shots to the women's tee only to show up next week with a $400 driver expecting it to cure them.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Me too, Atlas....I'm a former PGA Professional.:D

The noise was remedied by changing arrows. The finish on his new arrows is "smooth"....and they don't make "the noise" that occurs when you drag a radial x-weave across them. So.....problem solved. I "GUESS"....if say....oh....someone here wanted to pick nits......they "could" infer that everyone experiencing noise with their WB's was REALLY experiencing "arrow" problems. Likely the case.....but I'm no "expert". Anyways....the rest is about $40.....and I had a LOT more than that invested in arrows.

If my Tundra ever spooks a deer......or my Suzuki.....or my wallet.....I guess the only way anyone would ever know it to be so.....would be to ask YOU. Who am I to say???? I'm only the person THERE.

BTW....how much did you pay for YOUR driver?

Do you know how much gall it would take for me to critique one of your golf swings.......from HERE?.....without being there.....and witnessing it?????

See????????

Jeff

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

So the rest was not the problem.


Toyota and Suzuki???............Nevermind, don't send them to me.......send them back across the pond where they belong.



Hey.........don't blame me for saying I don't think the WB is what caused you to get busted. That opinion is based on YOUR story of what happened and I am not the only person who has expressed those feelings ;) If you said Bigfoot was to blame would we all have to agree because you were the only one there?



It was free actually.............I did pay around $200 for a Taylor Made Ti Bubble2 and hit that for a year until I heard a funny noise and noticed the face was cracked from hossle to toe [:o] Taylor made sent me a new Firesole free as a replacement.

Truth be told I rarely ever hit driver. My 3 wood goes about 250 and is in the fairway about 85-90% of the time. Without fail I spray a drive or three and in the end it is just not worth it.

I played with 2 young kids having a practice round before they tried to qualify for the US Amatuers a couple of weeks ago. What a sight that was........maybe the most fun I have ever had on a course. These 2 little punks POUNDED the ball so far off the tee it was CRAZY. I marked the one kids drive at 350+.........it was a 618 par 5 that he proceeded to be on the back of the green in 2 after he striped a 3 wood about 270 over water..........absolutely sick. They were surprisingly just good from the fairway but they had impecable short games and were monsters off the tee. We had a good time and I came in with a 37 to stay within respectable distance from them.........they shot 70 and 71 to my 80. I was happy since it was only my third time out and when I saw who we were paired with I was hoping I didn't hack it up. Good time.............wish I was 18 again.




Actually that would be GREAT............I could use a good short game tip because I get all "handsy" with my chips around the green and I just give away too many shots by not getting up and down as much as I should..........I tend to blade my lob wedge when I hit it poorly.......rarely do I hit a shot "fat"........always too thin........maybe I am pulling out........but on a chip??


See..........I took as constructive criticism...........not an insult ;)

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Observations.....

1) we have a problem with a rest making noise......and have to search for an arrow that will mask the flaw.

The REST isn't flawed???????

2) I love America......but I drive a tundra because my company furnishes my vehicles.....and they have this thing for reliability.

3) I love America.....bu I ride on a Suzuki because I furnish my ATV.....and I have this thing for reliability.

4) I'm arguing with a man who admittedly paid $200 for a driver........had it fail.....and was sent a new driver......and STILL thinks he got it for "free". Amazing.

5) Check the PGA stats for driving accuracy......then get back with me about both your 3 wood accuracy AND your distance with that club. The average male golfer in the USA AVERAGES about 210 off the tee (remember......you can't just count the good ones!!). I won't be so brazen as to say you don't hit it that far, though. Remember....I'm not there.

6) you missed my point. I DIDN'T criticize your swing. I've never SEEN it.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

I shoot a WB and am also having a problem with noise. I love the rest and can shoot fine with it. It's just that when I draw back it makes so much noise. I tried the snow spary but that didn't work.I had the bow tuned by my mathews dealer but am still having the same probs. I shoot vapor arrows and think that may be a factor. I think an arrow with a smooth finish may help. I'm going to run a few diff arrows through at the pro shop and if that doesn't work I'll be getting a trophy taker.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

The smooth arrows reccomended by CAP are also quieter on other rests.

The whisker biscuit doesn't need moleskin, nailpolish, or teflon tape to keep it hunting.

Set up properly it is quiet to draw and quiet to shoot. And it last for tens of thousands of shots.

That means lots and lots of hunting without any problems.

Good luck hunting! >>>------------>

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

The Whisker Biscuit makes simular noises as an air biscuit. If your are overwhelmed with adrenlin when that spike and doe come in than the Whisker Biscuit is what you need. If your confident, in control, and are a avid archer then the drop away style rest is your best choice. You can always start out with the Whisker biscuit and work your way up.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

its the best hunting rest on the market

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Obviously not...........if it was then the only way to fix the problem would be to change the rest. If you had to alter the rest to fix the problem I would agree..........not to mention that many people don't even notice what you refer to as a "problem"..............me included, and I have shot all kinds of arrows through my WB and heard a bunch of guys I shoot with shoot even more..........still don't hear what has you so concerned.



Contradiction........IMO.


Contradiction.


I did get the Firesole for free.......I didn't have to pay a dime for it. Sure it was a replacement for a driver I did pay for but that doesn't change the fact that I didn't pay for the Firesole. I thought I explained that pretty clearly. I had the TiBubble2 for over a year before it broke. If you use a Craftsman lifetime gaurentee 20 years later to replace a broken wrench would you say that you had to pay for the replacement??



Still goes 250 and hits the fairway at least 8 out of 10 times. Like I said.......that is why I rarely hit driver..........why would I.


Based on what??


My 3 iron goes 210.



You are missing everyone elses point............they (and I) are not criticizing you by telling you it wasn't the WB that got you busted.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Mine is in the mail today. I have shot my father's bow with a whiskey biscuit and I love it.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

I agree.................silent but deadly ;)



I don't get "overwhelmed"..........and the WB is exactly what I need.




I am confident, in control, and an avid archer and the Whisker Biscuit is my best choice. I started out with a drop away and worked my way up ;)

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Dear HNI family.

You are dealing with the inner essence of futility by continuing to flagellate THIS deceased equine.

Jeff

Ever remember being a kid....and playing army with your buddies? Remember.....there was always one kid that you could ambush with machine guns blazing........only to hear as you walked away......."missed me!!".

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

Guess I won't have to worry about that since bow season starts here in about 4 weeks and its 109 outside right now. Do I have to worry about it melting?

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

If I ever get to the point where a spike or a does does not excite me, I'll quit hunting.

So only confident and "in control" archers should use a drop away? Care to explain what you mean with this statement?


In hopes of one day being the archer/super hunter that you obvisously are.........[:-]

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

You should look up flatulate.




Sounds like someone who would grow up and refuse to accept being busted by a deer and instead make a scapegoat out of his gear. We've all seen it a hundred times........guy takes a bad shot or two and IMMEDIATELY starts messing with the bow because surely that MUST be the problem :eek:

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

:D

Pretty much the EXACT post I had written.......then changed it to my previous reply.

RE: WHISKER BISQUIT
 

I amended my post.....but it was so obvious, Atlas.....even you got it.

Like I've said numerous times before.....the ONLY problem I have with you....is you basically calling me a liar.....or someone that has no idea what he's talking about. I have a college degree and a pretty good job. I see and hear just fine......and I've been hunting for 30 years. If I told you my gun jammed and I missed a buck.....would you tell me it had nothing to do with the Benelli?

Look....I know you love the WB.....and I've stated MANY times I love it too. If the people beside you when you're drawing it can hear it......can a deer (@ nine yds)?

THEN....the response we get back (those of us that have exceptional auditory senses)....is that we don't have ours set up properly.....and that you and your brother and cousins' weapons ARE set up properly (leaving only the meek to decipher that we're not capable of either setting up a WB....or even knowing a pro shop that's capable....yet you 5 are).

You're not only condescending......you're obtrusive......and it's offensive. I think themachine guns nailed you.
