Feathers through a whisker bisquit
Im considering switching from vanes to feathers hoping i'll get better arrows stability and was wondering how hard a bisquit would be on them.
Another question I have is how hard is it to fletch feathers vs. vanes? And I am wondering what a good fletching jig would be.
I know thats a lot of questions, but I know I'll get reliable answers on here. Hope you can help me and everyone have a Merry Christmas.

I have had absolutely no problems with feathers through my WB. I found that over time my vanes were becoming warped going through the WB. If the feathers give me any problems I'll next try Blasers.
The Bitsenberger is a great fletcher. There are plenty of posts regarding fletching techniques. Most of your consideration needs to be in making sure the shaft is clean and what type of glue to use.

The WB tears feathers up. A new rest is on the market that rivals the WB...same principle, but better. The New Archery Products 360 Capture.....Check that one out, it won't hurt your feathers in the least.

RE: Feathers through a whisker bisquit
Wow lots of replys already. I should have made it more clear I already have the whisker bisquit and I'm not really wanting to put a whole lot more money towards archery stuff this year.
already bought a bow, dozen arrows, and a couple of new calls. I guess January 1st isn't too far away though
It seems this might just have to be something I have to experiment with im getting posts that say the exact opposite lol

RE: Feathers through a whisker bisquit
mobowhuntr I just looked up that rest on cabelas and it looks awsome. Im fighting the urge to order one lol
Im wondering though how well it would work for a finger shooter. And would it be hard on arrow shafts? An bigtbird that jig looked nice but pricey
I definantly have some more archery stuff on my wish list now
