I've been touting the advantages of the whisker biscuit for a couple years on this board - good to see guys like Pinwheel change his mind after trying it. 
It's funny to see all the resistance to a product that has proven to be a good one, with a tremendous following. All it took for me, was to sit in a treestand for one day, with this on my bow, to realize just how much better it is then any regular rest.
As for arrows falling off two-prong rests. LOL, spend one day at the shop where I shoot in a league and you could count it a hundred times - easily. Especially, on those hard-rollover single cams. Put that same person in a treestand, make them cold and nervous, have the shot at an odd angle, and they'll be lucky if the arrow doesn't fall off 2 out 3 draws. The whisker biscuit completely eliminates that possibility, even if it's only a small one for you.
I knew it was accurate. It's nice to see J. Despart prove that it can shoot with the best of them. The x-count he shot with it (on the target pictured), would have won Vegas. If the rest is allowing him to drill them dead center at 20 yards, guess what, it will be dead center at 40 yards. However, the real beauty of this rest isn't it's accuracy, it's the way it always has your arrow in position to shoot with such simplicity.

I have not specifically said I do not like the "WB" based on personal use.
I would not easily recommend the "WB" to be used by someone that does not have a
thorough grasp of tuning a bow, all accessories, form, and troubleshooting.

Regardless of all the pro arguments, in no way can the capability and performance of
the "WB" be considered to be on the same level as certain other hunting rests

occasionally replacing fletch/vanes and bristles on the rest
What is going on that so many shooters seem to be having problems with arrows falling off their rests

Sorry, c903, I just had to pick on ya some more, seems you thrive on that!!! Maybe someday you will fall and hit your head hard enough to see the light

I shoot with a whisker biscuit. I am realitively new to archery. There is not a pro shop anywhere near me and I set my bow up by myself. The only help I have had with tuning is the information I have gotten from the great people on this forum. I got my whisker biscuit last year on Father's Day and had it trimmed and tuned in about 30 minuits. I have not had to adjust it since I put it on. I also use 3 four inch feathers fletched with a left helical and have never had a problem with the biscuit wearing out my feathers. The only feathers I have had to replace have been damaged by other arrows. I swithed from a prong style rest because I was having to spend too much time tunning it It seems like I was adjusting it about once every week or two. you really cant find a more economical or dependable hunting rest IMHO.

Sorry, Double Creek!
For some reason I was thinking of the lady shooter that comes her, just as I wrote that sentence.
Howler: Pick away!
I don't thrive on being picked on. What your are witnessing, is that some people cannot handle it when their baby is dissed. In other words, they can dish it but they cannot eat it.

yes my arrow has come off the rest (TM style) and no i'm not dancing. just happens. you go down to get bow off holder while trying to keep an eye on the deer or many other circumstances. Ii put a clip on on the rest and that worked very well. won't have to worry anymore because its WB time!

I built my first bow almost 50years ago and I've been making my own sights and rest for the last thirty years. I use the whisker biscuit because it tunes easy it stays in tune and it doesn't bend, break, or go out of tune. You can tune any bow and rest combination to work if you work at it, its just a much more streamlined operation with the biscuit. Some folks just can't seem to grasp this concept but its true. Lots of people have tried to just swap in the biscuit for their old rest without taking into account where the bows tiller might be or what the effect of very high nocking point would have on their results. These people would, quite predictably not have stellar results with the biscuit. Some shops have their own bias against the biscuit and they propably won't know how to make it work either because they don't want it to work. I wouldn't trust the people who don't want the biscuit to work to fix a drink! This rest is the best archery product to come along in years and if they can't see that they can all go piss up a rope! Good luck hunting!
