RE: Whisker Buiscuts, what do you think???
I use one and I like it. The new ones have softer bristles that should be easier on fletchings. I bought one of the new replacement biscuits to put on mine last week. I haven't had time to trim the back flat yet. I use the drop tine modle and have had no problems with mine.

I love my whisker biscuit!!! I shoot a Browning Micro Midas III and it only decreases your arrow speed by 2 fps... atleast thats with my setup ( 40#,24" draw )

I have had nothing but positive experiences with my WB rest. It sets up simple, tunes easily, draws silent, shoots straight and quiet, holds arrow at any angle, and hasn't ruined any of my fletches yet on same arrows for 9 months of shooting.
I hope you have similar experieces with it because IMO it is a great hunting rest.
I shoot a Bowtech Patriot single cam and last time I checked it slowed my arrows 2-3 fps which is less then most string silencers will do and no one has a problem putting them on their bow.
I have used prong and drop away rests and none made my groups any tighter........the WB has been like my Popeil Rotisserie.........I just "set it and forget it"......no tinkering with it every other week. Haven't touched it since getting it dialed in day one. Still stacks arrows as far as I am willing to shoot.
Good Luck

I can't say for sure, because I don't use one, but I would think that if anything touches my feathers, it would slow the arrow down somewhat. Also, I've heard that fog/frost can have an affect on the whiskers. They freeze up some and sometimes make some noise when you draw your bow.

I realy like the WB, me and a friend have been using them for 3 years and have had great luck with our groupings. I have had no problem with fletchings getting torn up but my biscuit has a ton of shots through it if that matters. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another.

I have a relatively good perspective of them. They are a simple to use and setup design that provides for a somewhat quiet draw and excellent arrow containment.
