Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

So i was out for opener of bow season here in MI and had a nice doe come out right away. I decided to shoot her, well lets just say i got my arrow pulled back about 3 inches and the noise of my arrow sliding over the biscuit shot her into orbit. Same thing happened to another deer an hour later. Has anyone had this problem and what do you do about it. Pretty sure this will be the last year with the whisker biscuit.

I havent had any problems with my wisker biscuit. Did you have this problem while practicing?

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

You didn't notice this "noise" BEFORE you went hunting?;)

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

Robv--I shot my first few deer with a whisker biscuit--liked the accuracy and simplicity, hated the noise from hell. That is why I switched arrow rests.

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

i had the same problem. either buy a wisker biscuit with a bigger hole or buy skinnier arrows.

i switched to a octane hostage pro and the difference was amazing

Blasphemy LMAO, your not the first to say the WB is loud but there will be those that say the opposite. I'd bet it has to do with what arrow your drawing.

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

Hmm, I have been looking at this rest, I need a replacement to mine, and I like that it holds the arrow in while drawing back, but if its too loud, then Its not really an option for me.

Are you using aluminum or Carbon arrows?

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

Mine is silent. Drawing letting off etc

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

I never had mine do this, i would say the bisket needs to be replaced. The bristles may be weathered and hard instead of soft causing a fingernail on the chalk board noise.

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

Mine is very quiet. Is there a chance the noise could be coming from something else?

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

i cant hardly hear any noise at all coming from mine. are you sure it was the noise that spooked them. 3" isnt alot of arrow to even barely make a noise. I'm guessing your shooting aluminum which do have a tendancy to make some noise.

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

Seems its hit and miss with the ole WB.

I'll install one once and awhile that makes a hell of a scuffing noise as you draw and then I'll get ones that don't make a peep.

I am shooting CX 300s with the black shafts and I am shooting them through the small biscuit, i used to shoot them through the medium sized one but my accuracy was terrible with it so i switched to the smaller one. I still have plenty of room around the arrow so its only rubbing on the bottom of the arrow, I guess its one of those things that i did not pay attention to in the summer. It is definitely the biscuit as i drew back with no arrow in and it was dead quiet.

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

did u follow the directions and use the right sized arrow?? i wanna get a wb but not if it might not work well

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

yes i have the right sized arrow for the biscuit i am using

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

Mine is not loud at all.

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

Mine is not loud. I think it depends on the arrow. I would suggest to anyone thinking about buying one to try it first.

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

I had the CX 300's as well, but mine were the camo ones. Those arrows were VERY loud using the WB. I think it is due to what the arrow is made of and how it is made. I just bought some Trophy Ridge Wrath arrows, they have a very smooth finish and they are just plain black carbon arrows. If I were you, go to an archery shop and just run your finger nails over the shaft. If you can hear that, you know they will be at least that loud in the WB. Just have to find the right shafts.

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

I love mine.

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

so it seems like my options are get new arrows or a new rest, I think i will get a new rest after season and see if I can manage to get through this season with this one. Ill probably switch to a drop away

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

My WB just recently started making noise, that scratchy scrapy noise, I beleive it is a "coating" that has built up on the arrows from the target block, or the Biscut is getting old.

Slack

RE: Whisker Biscuit is LOUD!!
 

Sounds like youre WB is not setup correctly, should bepretty quiet. Check to make sure its sqaure up and down and aligned withyour nocking point.
