Pros and Cons of a Wisker Bisket
 

As my second season arrives, I am still very much in the learning phase. My question is what you all think of the wisker bisket. I have been thinking of getting one but really don' t know anything about them, nor do I know anyone that currently uses one.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Try a search on them........there have been a lot of posts lately on them. I was a skeptic at first but I love mine now !!

You might try a search in the archives. That is a topic that has been discussed more than a few times. (You beat me to it CBM)

I have set up plenty of them for other people but I don' t personally use one.

My opinion is that its a fine rest as long as you don' t mind a slight loss in arrow speed and you realize that you will have to refletch more often. Its a simple design that is durable and easy to adjust...

Good Luck

GREAT REST!There is no way the arrow can come off the rest when the buck fever sets in.

I put one one last year and I love it. I dont see myself switching anytime soon.

BOWDACIOUS, you know they have a spray to prevent water from freezing the WB up, so that can' t be an excuse to not be out in the bad weather with one.:D

I put one on about a month ago, and love it. I will try other rest in the future, but the way this thing shoots, I' ll more than like stick to it for hunting.

Pros. total arrow capture, easy to tune, accurate enough.
cons. I had a lot of vane wear and feather wear. the brissells will wear out if you shoot enough arrows through it. you will loose some speed. don' t know about the colder climates..

RE: Pros and Cons of a Wisker Bisket
 

Same experiences as the others.

Pros: Arrow cannot fall off. Very quiet, capable of delivering good accuracy at hunting ranges, easy to set up initially.

Cons: Reduces arrow speed and can really chew up feathers....and to some extent vanes if they have any helical to them.

The whisker biscuit is a very quiet, very accurate, and very rugged arrowrest. It installs simply and stays in adjustment. You can shoot all styles of fletching including Turbonocks with this rest. You should only use the correct spine arrow for the bow with this rest, underspined arrows will bend and flex as they go through the biscuit, this slows the arrow and ruins accuracy. I' ve shot a slew of rests in the last twenty-eight years of shooting compound bows and the only rest that has never bent, broken, gotten out of adjustment, or dropped my arrow is the whisker biscuit. Good luck hunting!

I just got a WB this year, and so far I really like it. I haven' t noticed a lot of wear and tear on my vanes yet. I am like everyone else....great arrow rest. I read their website that the amount of loss speed depends on what kind of arrows you shoot. I shot carbons with three inch vanes. My loss of speed is only about three feet per second

Thanks for all the info. I' m thinking strongly about getting one. Especially now. Looks like the Pros outweigh the Cons. Thanks again.

My advice would be to get the drop tine model, with or without the quick shot feature (I could take it or leave it). I payed extra for the " deluxe" model and would be just as happy with the droptine.

RE: Pros and Cons of a Wisker Bisket
 

I use the droptine model on my Hoyt and on my Martin. My Mathews has a lower shelf and the deluxe whisker biscuit fit better. The windage bracket comes off the side of the biscuit on the deluxe model, this gives a little extra thumb knuckle clearance when compared to the droptine model or the original model. The windage bracket extends straight across horizontally from the bottom of the biscuit on both the original and the droptine models. Good luck hunting!
