I know there has been a lot of questions about that Whisker Biscuit on here but I never found one to answer my question. I just got my original WB yesterday and tuned it in and I am having a little problem with the fletching hitting places. The instructions say to have the cock feather up or out, and when i have it out, one of the other vanes touches the bottom bracket of the WB that has the 2 allen screws in to hold it and when I have it up, one of the vanes touches the side of the bow where the mole skin is. Thats how close it is to the inside of the bow, but that is how it is lined up and stright. I was wondering where everyone else puts the cock feather when they shoot so it doesn't rub on anything besides the bristles of the WB? Thanks.

No one knows how there fletching goes through their WB?

Odd fletching up... Two solid colors down...

If your hittin the bisquit you need to adjust it .. The disk itsself.. forward towards the riser or backwards towards the string.. It could be too that the whole rest is set up to high...

I just re-read your post ..(imo) you need to move the bisquit out to the left..(slide it out) this should keep the flecthings from touching..


Hope this can help you any..

Yeah, but if I move it to the left, it is not going to be lined up, is that ok? Thanks

My suggestion would be to take an allen wrench, unscrew the rest from the riser and throw the dang thing in the garbage where it belongs. Or send it to Atlasman, he seems to have some strange fetish for the WB Just kidding.

Seriously though, send Atlasman an email, he seems to be the WB guru on this board, also, 5shot could help you out.

I know you are pulling our leg! The "WB" is simple to install, adjust, and tune......at least that is what some claim.

Mossberg fan: No rest is going to magically tune an untuned bow. I find it best to start any bowsetup by setting the tiller as even as possible. You can get pretty close to an even tiller by simply tightening both limb bolts down, then backing them both out an even three turns each. This allows adjustment for both weight and tiller if needed later. The biscuit should be of the correct size for the arrow so that it fits loosely around the shaft of the arrow. A tight fitting biscuit will rob energy from the arrow and also will be difficult to tune. The biscuit should be installed so that it is parallel to the bowstring, not tipped forwars or tipped backward. The nocking point for the arrow should be placed so that the arrow is at a 90degeee angle to the bowstring. On most righthanded bows the nocktravel is forward and to the left about 1/8" on account of the stresses imparted on the bow by cam leans and the cableguard; therefore the optimum windage setting for the rest is often about 1/8" to the outside of the centerline of the bow in order for the bow to launch its straightest arrow. I reccomend grouptuning for the optimum windage setting for the bow. When the bow is shooting correct spine arrows and hitting the same vertical line and the arrows are not nockleft or nock right you can tighten the windage bolt and leave it. If the tiller of the bow was adjusted evenly the bow should be shooting a level arrow into the target. If the bow is shooting a nockhigh arrow you should tighten the lower limb bolt to correct the tiller and achieve a level arrow in the target. If the bow is shooting a nocklow arrow you would tighten the upper limb bolt to correct the tiller and achieve a level arrow in the target. You can leave the nocking point at the 90degree point on the bowstring and make all of you fine adjustments with a wrench. I do reccomend using the correct spine arrows or a heavier spine arrow with the whisker biscuit. You should have good results with the cock feather up or to the outside. I wish you luck in your bowtune. I hope that my explanation of how the whisker biscuit should be installed and how the bow actually works was written in a clear and understandable manner. Good luck hunting!
