whisker biscuit
 
can you shoot carbons through the aluminum biscuit? other then having a larger hole to accomidate the fatter alum arrow is there any difference? i know that i would have to rise the rest after the switch to return it back to level.

Ive got the medium on my bow and have to problems untill I shoot my broadheads, then my arrow drops 3-4 inches. Other than that, it works just fine!

All Whisker biscuit arrow rests come withe the swcond generation biscuits. This second generation biscuit incorporates zone-specific fibers , each designed for a specific function. The brown fibers cradle the arrow, providing the complete arrow support you've come to expect. At the shot, they allow the arrow to pass through without fletching damage. The black fibers, at the bottom of the rest, support the arrow perfectly, just as they always have.

Yes, you can shoot carbon arrows out of a WB...They make inserts with different size holes for different diameter arrows...It would be best to change the insert to match the arrow...

Not to umm knock you Wisker Biscuit sales pitch but I had the second generation biscuit for almost two seasons till I got tired of re-fletching my arrows. And it didn't matter if it was an arrow i fletched on my own or one that I bought that was already fletched. They still managed to get torn off!! I even shoot a 2 inch blazer vane and that didn't help. Finally went to the Limbdriver from vapor trail and problem solved. Bad thing is I sold the WB to a guy a know and now he is having the same problems even after putting a new biscuit on there!!

Funny, I've had a WB about 6 years, no problem...

I know a guys who has had one for a few years and never had an issue, that why I wanted to check it out for myself. But for some reason I just couldn't keep fletchings on and now my friend can't either. I guess I just got the lemon, I don't know. Either way I'm glad it happened because I luuuuuuve my Limbdriver :s4:that thing is bee knee's

Exactly. I've used a WB for 8 years. I wouldn't "hunt" with any other rest. I actually enjoy refletching my arrows when it becomes necessary.

I had a WB and didn't have any problems with fletching coming off unless they were already damaged,but I did have a problem with my fletching becoming wavy due to the friction created when they pass through the bristles! It did not seem to affect my arrow flight,but after about 50 shots I would notice my vanes becoming wavy I got tired of replacing fletching and swiched to the Rip Cord fall away and love it,arrow isn't contained as well as with the WB but still stays on the rest and I have no more fletching problems.

I’ve shoot a WB for 9 years now, haven’t had any problems with fletching coming off with factory arrows or the ones that I’ve fletched. They are rough on certain fletching about wrinkling them but the Duravanes Savages and Predators have worked best for me.

The rest on my new bow is supported on fibers Like a (whisker biscuit) but only @ 3 points. They are located between the fletches don't even touch them as they pass through. It still holds the arrow securely but no fletch damage!
