RE: Are you FOR or AGAINST Whisker Biscuits?
 

This is what I like best about HuntingNet, a lot less bashing than that other big archery forum that is so popular. I feel like everyone here is a friend, not just a bunch of archers.

With that said onto the biscuit. I was away from archery for 15 years prior to buying my new bow a little over a year ago. The rest that I had on my old Jennings super T was top of the line in 1989. I don't remember who made it other than it was made in a small shop in New Jersey. It had a round wheel mounted horizontally on needle bearings, it was used with a berger button. I lost more than one deer because the arrow had a habit of slipping between the rest and berger button and slapping the riser. When I saw the whisker biscuit for the first time I knew that it was a winner, no more losing deer to arrows falling off of my rest. There are enough other things to go wrong while hunting and confidence in your equipment isvery important.I just switched from the biscuit to a Qad HD but it too is a full containment rest. My group size did shrink, I think, but I only gained 3 fps. There's nothing not to like about the whisker biscuit.

As the title of the thread questions, I'm neither for nor against the WB however I will NEVER use one.

RE: Are you FOR or AGAINST Whisker Biscuits?
 

I have a drop away and a whisker biscuit on my 2 hunting bows, the drop away is a little more accurate.. But I love the whisker biscuit I have on my Bowfishing Bow..

Like I've said before, if you shoot an arrow with 4" vanesthrough the biscuit enough, it can/will become wavey. However it "does not" effect my accuracy at all. I'm not BS'ing, or I wouldn't have posted this pic. Again, I've also NEVER had a vane come off.;)

Rob,

Thats like saying I'm neither for nor against Democrats but I will NEVER vote for one. Inconsistent at best.

RE: Are you FOR or AGAINST Whisker Biscuits?
 

Not really, I'll never use one but I won't tell you not to. Being against it would mean to me that I would tell you never to use one. I know they have their merit. Being for a WB means to me that I would suggest it to you, I wouldn't so I stand behind what I said, I'm neither for nor against it but will never use one myself. :D

Seems very consistant to me.

RE: Are you FOR or AGAINST Whisker Biscuits?
 

I see. So if I say I will NEVER shoot a Bowtech, you all understand that I have nothing against them.:eek:

My dad & I both use a WB and have had no issues with it so far. He likes it alot because he walks around a lot and likes the stablilty it gives the arrow.

RE: Are you FOR or AGAINST Whisker Biscuits?
 

I don't need or prefer Full Capture, but if I did I would opt for the Hostage or Hostage Pro. If I preferred a drop away and felt like I needed full containment I would look at the Ripcord or QAD.

Rob, I feel exactly the same way!!

It's amazing to me how popular a rest the WB has been. It is simple, dependable,and hard for the average Bowhunter to mess up. That's a big plus for lots of hunters.
