3. I would need one with a windage adjustment.

4. Why are all the whiskers now sticking out/criss crossedin the biscuit?
After a few more adjustments including centershot, etc. I fired a third, fourth and fifth arrow down range.
I can move the thing with my fingers. Not sure I like that.Does not seemdurable enough.
My blazer vanes were destroyed, warped beyond any sort of repair other than to strip the arrows and re-apply a vane.
Is this what I can expect?
Say this WB wasn't set up correctly. Can I still expect to see warping of my vanes after 100 shots? 1000 shots?

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.

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.

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.

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.
