I have many fall away rests and I still prefer my WB.I have shot through my chrony with biscuit and with fall away using blazer vanes and I have never seen over a 4 fps drop in speed.My grouping is better with the fall aways but grouping with the WB is still tight enough for any game kill zone.As early in mentioned use the no snow spray once a season and you will have no problems.

Never shot one and did not like the idea when they first come out....Too much drag on your arrow for me!!!! If I were looking to go with a arrow containing style restI would go with bodoodle...I'm not against them per say but I won't ever shoot one...
In all the testing I did, which included feathers and vanes of all sizes, finger and release shooting, carbons and aluminums...the biggest loss of speed (as compared to a "normal" rest) was 2.5 ft/sec. Mean speed lost was about 1 ft/s. Not enough for me to care about, but perhaps it is enough for some to fret over.
Still don't like it!!!!

I used to use a WB---my old aluminums shot great out of that thing....very tight groups. I stopped using the WB because it is WAY too loud to use around the skittish deer I hunt.

That's always been my ONLY reason for switching from the WB. otherwise....it's a wonderful hunting rest. If I were using different arrows when I had one on my bow (less noisy on the draw)....I'd likely still be using the rest.

No...I'm not "against" it. I just found something that works better, for my purposes. It's a wonderful hunting rest.

I refuse to participate in a WB thread without Atlasman. This thread should be locked!

Sorry no WB here. I used one a few times and didn't like the fletch contact. I have seen them on more than one occasion make a mess of plastic vanes. With full containment drop away rests out there I am not sure why you would want to use a whisker biscuit. I would rather use a Prong rest over the whisker biscuit.

I have used them for many years now without fail. I have never had a single vane warp or tear off and my arrows are very quiet in this rest. There are no moving parts to fail and no strings, springs, etc. to break or malfunction. I love the simplicity of the rest. I believe that in archery hunting it is important to keep it simple. I have used them on several different bows and had good results with all. In my opinion, if you cant get this rest to group extremely tight there is definitely something wrong with your set-up or form. To each his own, but I will stick with what works for me.

I would have defended the WB, I had one on my Tomkat.....but since yesterday I shot a QAD ultra on my new82nd..
And there is a difference, I upped my average scores with 9 to 10 points on the first day.
Could be the bow, could be the rest, isn't the shooter.
What I can tell you is that there is NOTHING wrong with a Whacky Basket.
I still like it, but I like the QAD rest better
