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.

RE: Pros and Cons of a Wisker Bisket
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

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..

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.
