3. I would need one with a windage adjustment.

It has windage adjustments.

4. Why are all the whiskers now sticking out/criss crossedin the biscuit?

Your rest was setup poorly.

Quote:

After a few more adjustments including centershot, etc. I fired a third, fourth and fifth arrow down range.

This confirms my earlier thoughts.........why are they adjusting your center shot after you are already shooting? It should have been done BEFORE you started shooting.

Quote:

I can move the thing with my fingers. Not sure I like that.Does not seemdurable enough.

Durability has NEVER been a concern with this rest...........if anything it is considered pretty tough.

Quote:

My blazer vanes were destroyed, warped beyond any sort of repair other than to strip the arrows and re-apply a vane.

This totally convinces me your rest was totally botched on setup........your arrows were making contact with the outer ring (and who knows what else)..........Blazer vanes are almost impossible to warp, and definitely not in 1 shot..............and I don't think ANY rest in the world could damage all 3 Blazer vanes on an arrow in 1 shot.

Quote:

Is this what I can expect?

No........get your bow setup properly and you will see.

Quote:

Say this WB wasn't set up correctly. Can I still expect to see warping of my vanes after 100 shots? 1000 shots?

I don't.

RE: Boo Biscuit?

I never had any problems with a Whisker Biscuit. I used one on my old bow shooting XX78 Superslams and bought a new one when I bought a new bow . Yeah , the 4" fletching gets a little wavey . So what ! I refletched some arrows with blazers and put a dab of glue on the leading edge of each vane . Killed several deer with the WB setup . I am going to try a Drop Away just to see what it's like . If I don't like the Drop Away , i'll put the WB back on ........
Oh yeah , it slows your arrow down at least 3' per second . Speed is only important if you hit your target .

I'd say the WB was not adjusted right. The cock fletch needs to be up so that the bottom ones straddle the dark colored bristles. I have put thousands of shots through mine - using Blazer 2" - can't see any damage on them. There are different size holes in the WB - you want one slightly bigger than your arrow shafts. Sure your Blazers aren't hitting anything on the bow?

And there is a windage adjustment. It's not a micrometer adjustment, but you loosen the set screw and move it left/right as well as adjusting the angle. I like to mount the cross bar with contact against the bottom back of the arrow shelf.

Cock feather was up, WB hole was larger than my arrow, Blazers were not hitting anything on the bow, it was center shot. I can't explain it either.

RE: Boo Biscuit?

The rest was center shot before I tried it, we just center shot it again to make sure nothing was off.

I am not trying to nock the WB. I am just trying to figure out what went wrong. I know of many people who use them and love em.

I will give the WB another chance in two weeks prior to purchasing the Trophy Taker Pronghorn rest. Maybe I will get diff. results. I'll make sure I get a different tester bow with a diff. biscuit.

Thanks all.

RE: Boo Biscuit?

mine are all in great condition. ive never had to redo my vanes or anything. i ove my wb.

RE: Boo Biscuit?

I had the WB but was tired of re-fletching my biggest issue. loved everything else.
Ran across this link the other day and it may solve the re-fletching problem.

RE: Boo Biscuit?

When I installed my bisquit it paper tuned to perfect bullet holes in 6 shots. I also used a test arrow and fired it over 150 times and it had no damage whatsoever to the vanes. It had Bohning Blazers. One thing I did do when switching to a bisquit is switch to smoother finish shafts like Bemans and ACC since they make no noise on draw back. Your bisquit was 2 things, first it was not properly installed & squared off and secondly was the cheaper version. Buy the delux model and it has all the adjustment you need.

RE: Boo Biscuit?

Wow - this looks like an awesome rest. Are there any mainstream sources for obtaining one? Thanks. Roskoe

This rest looks interesting, but it still doesn't address my only hick-up with the WB, noise during the draw.

Yeah, ive seen this happen before. Im switching to a full containment, drop-away when i get the new bow in...

I've seen this problem a million times working in several pro shops. I've seen more guys turn away from them due to this problem that all the guys I've seen that own one. I'd stay away from them. Most of the guys on this forum are either for them or against them...i'm against them...just seen way too many problems. I'd just say forget it if I was you.
