? for biscuit users

How often do you replace your biscuit? I've had mine on for two years and I shoot often. 50 - 80 shots per week. I'm starting to see some wear in the bristles, I'm thinking it's time for a replacement.

I've had the same biscuit (switched housings to a Fuse last year) on my bow for two years now and on my other bow for 3 (same biscuit) and I've noticed very little if any wear to it. Are you shooting the correct size opening? If you are using standard size (not slims) carbon or aluminum arrows you should be using an XL biscuit.
When I first started using the W/B I used a large because that's what I thought the package read but I realized that the large was not big enough and was causing the all to familiar "vane wave" that some folks experienced. Instead of switching vanes to stronger ones I figured out the clearance around the arrow was too tight and switched to the XL biscuit...nary a problem ever since, even with cheap run of the mill vanes on my arrows.
When you change your biscuit remember it's always better to error on the larger size than too small. It'll save you headaches down the road, even tuning was easier when I switched to the XL from the large.
Good luck

I'm using the med size biscuit. I'm not showing any wear on the top whiskers, just wear the bottom two vanes shoot thru. I'm shooting 2" duravanes and I haven't noticed any unnatural wear. I planned on getting another one anyways, but thought it was kinda odd that it is showing wear like that.

I know the XL works great with my set up, so speed issues, no accuracy issues, no noise issues, no flight issues, no vane damage issues....what more could you ask for.

You really shouldnt notice too much wear on your WB. I had one on my Nova since the WB was put on the Market and never had to replace it. I put a new one on my Stinger when I bought it this past spring. I dont think Ill go to another rest.

I planned on taking a trip to my buddies shop next week to get another dzn arrows cut down. I'll have him put on a new biscuit and make sure everything is tuned in.
Forgot to mention I was shooting quick spin ST 2" vanes last year. They weren't shooting that great out of my setup so I changed to duravanes. Maybe that was the problem??? We'll see..

It probably was. Quick spins have that extra "ridge" on the trailing edge and that can be pretty destructive to anything it comes in contact with over time I'm sure.
