Hey all,

It seems that whenever I go to my local archery shop and tell them I'm having a problem shooting, they ALWAYS point their fingers at my whisker biscuit.
They Say:
-Inconsistent shots
-Wear and Tear on feathers (which I switched to b/c my whisker biscut ate my Vanes alive)
-Absorbs Moisture, so if a day begins raining then freezes over, the biscuit will be like a ROCK

I'm Saying:
-Shots may vary a little
-Spray my Biscuit and Feathers w/ Sillicon to prevent moisture absorption
-The piece of mind to not have to look down at my rest when a deer comes along is worth the issues that come with owning this rest.


Now I'm asking you all what your opinions are. Pros/Cons/ANYTHING you think about using the whisker buiscuit as a rest. For those of you unsure of what I'm saying .... http://www.trophyridge.com/arrow-rests/whisker-biscuit/ That's what I'm talking about.

Thanks in advance!

I prefer a drop away rest and have had no problems using them.

QAD drop away rest can't go wrong!!

The last time I was in our local shop, a few years ago, I stood there and listened to the guy behind the counter tell another customer (that was there to get a new string) that he needed to ditch his rest (a WB) because "they just don't work". I could not hold back, interupted the guy and told him that was B.S., looked at the customer and told him he might want to do what I was gonna do and make sure I didn't waste any more time in that shop. I never went back in there. For some reason they are out of business now.

Bottom line, the WB works, and works well. I prefer drop aways now, but I hunted with the WB for several years with great results. I also did some very extensive testing with the rest for some research I did on assignment. A good little tip is to trim away a good portion of the bristles leaving the thickness of the rest less than stock. It will be easier on fletching and definitely more forgiving. I think the theory of the rest freezing up is way overblown. It is not going to just soak up moisture and freeze. It might get a stiff if you were sitting in freezing rain. The only thing inconsistent is the shooter, not the WB. I put a paycheck on the line that says if you put a WB on a proven accurate bow, then put that bow in a shooting machine, the results will be equal to any other rest.

I have a QAD ultra rest and i love it. I never have owned a whisker Bisquit and cant see any reason to after I bought a QAD ultra rest. It holds the arrown in place just like a whisker bisquit and when you shoot its outta the way.

So as for the whisker Bisquit I am neither for nor against, I'm Neutral...

The full containment of a WB is fine for many and I'm OK with that.

Having said that, I use a dropaway (QAD). It contains the arrow just fine and I know it will not damage the fletchings or slow the arrow and it hasn't failed in cold weather or wet weather.

I'll just say these were with broadheads. Old pic, but I like the sliced vane. Love my biscuit!

I have had no problems with the WB killing my feathers.

She'sJenna Jameson and Debbie Does Dallas all rolled into one. Unfortunately for you guys, she's not signing any autographs, and she's a one-guy kinda girl.
