I'm sure this has been discussed on here before, but I must have missed it. All I've heard is how great Whisker Biscuits are. Everyone that I've talked to that uses them for hunting love them to death. Does anyone that uses or has used them have any things that they don't like about them(other than having to thread your arrow into them) Please only opinions of people that have actually used them at one time or are currently using them.

I got a whisker bisquit for christmas and have been using it ever since. i like it allot. Threading the arrow through the bisquit does not really bother me, u get use to doing it very quick and it becomes natural.i have been shooting it everyday for almost 2wks so far and not have any complaints. I would recomend it to anyone.

I think there awesome !! I shoot 3d, darts, and hunt and havent had a problem at all there accurate and very easy to work with. You cant go wrong.

I think they are junk. I had one on my bow and absolutely hated it. I would have to re-fletch my arrows after about every 20 shots. After about 5-6 they would start to crinkle. It is exactly opposite of what you want it a rest, it produces drag and everything. I could never get good arrow flight out of it. I switched to a Nap 2000 Drop Awaw and get perfect flight, out of the exact same set up. I average about 25-30 points better in bowshoots now that I switched. Save yourself the money and don't get one.

I have been shooting one for a little while now. I am toying with several rests now that season is over. I will say that for the bow hunter the WB has many outstanding features. No arrow fall off, simple tough, and quiet. The quiet part is provided you are shooting a quiet carbon arrow with a "slick" finish. I have found it very easy and forgiving to tune. I have modified it every way possible and found that what works best for me is to trim the back side flat, and leave the front untouched. I used to cut a slot in the top for easier arrow loading, but now I just load from the back. The rest is stronger this way and once you get used to it it's not hard at all.
As for vanes ripping off, they can if you use the wrong vanes and glue. I have found Arizona vanes with the fast set gel hold tough and do not wrinkle. Duravanes are also excellent. Feathers don't hold up as well, they get "fuzzy" on the ends which makes them louder in flight. The still fly well, but I think the WB is best used with the proper Vanes. It is not perfect, you will have to find a good vane and glue that stick well to the arrow, and learn to reload the arrow. I have also found that 4" fletch works best. For me right now, combining ease of tune, good accuracy, and the simple durable features with no arrow fall off the WB is leading the pack for my new hunting rest next year. You have to be willing to work with it, but I think it will be worth it for most bowhunters.

TAKE YOUR KIDS HUNTING AND YOU WON'T BE HUNTING FOR YOUR KIDS

I have shot about 300-400 arrow aout of mine already and not had a sigle problem or fletching ripping off.

Huntinfool, maybe it is just poor fletching job on your arrows because my fletchings are just as good when i first got my arrows. except for a little black on the edges but whos cares about that! I like it and plan on using it for hunting next year. maybe if i have a problem w/ it i will switch to a drop away but until then i will keep my same setup.

I had 2 whisker biscuits, first the original and then the newer one with the block so you can slide it back and forth without it leaning forward or back(like in the original.
That said, now i have a new rest, lol
I thought maybe i got a bad one the first time around, tried 3 different biscuits on the second one and I still have fletching problems
not that they would rip off, they would just get REALLY wavy. Like someone said above me, i got black on them, and the fletchings would get wavy, and would make a "FSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST" sound in flight. So i finally gave up and moved on.
it does have a few advantages though, such as no arrow fall off, very quiet to draw back, etc.

5 SHOT,I couldn't agree more. I have shot one now for 2 years & have not had 1 single problem. As for drag there is a very small amount.

On balance, I like mine a lot. I've arrowed 4 bucks in two years with it, with no "string jump" or excess noise. I shoot Easton 2117's with 125 gr. 3-blade Muzzy's out of a 65# Hoyt and I do get some wavy fletching after several dozen shots, but I'll take 5-Shot's advice on different fletching/glue combos. I hunt about half the time from the ground in pretty heavy cover and, for those conditions, it's perfect. I trimmed the backside flat, had no trouble tuning, and get good arrow flight. As for quick loading, this is pretty much a one-shot sport for me, so that's not a big issue .
