RE: Whisker biscuits...YEA or NAY
Many, many posts have come and gone over the past few years regarding the bisquit. They seem to get pretty heated. Personally, I don't use one and probably never will. However, several of my friends use and love them.
Earlier this year some hot shot one vegas shooting a bisquit. Since then the nay sayers, including myself have had to eat crow and basically accept the bisquit as a viable rest, even though on the surface it breaks all rules of arrow savvy.

RE: Whisker biscuits...YEA or NAY
Well I'm a yea............and have been posting about this for over a year ! [8D]
I laughed at them.........then I laughed some more.........and it does go against what you think about fletching contact ! But I finally gave in after my bow got nocked out of commision and I hunted with my dad's WB equipped bow one time !
I have seen no fletching wear with the new B2 ! I haven't shot in 2 weeks and got out last night and shot 3-4" groups at 50 yrds every time ! My buddy came over and messed with me about my pins being set at 30-50-70.........so I stepped back and shot a 3 arrow 4" group at 70 yrds with two touching !
Point is ........you can be very accurate with them just like any other rest ! More accurate.........I doubt it !
You may never nock an arrow off.....I don't think I could count on one hand how many times I have..........but it sure is nice to pick up your bow in confidence.......knowing your arrow is where it is supposed to be...........draw it without worrying it may fall off........and shoot an arrow right where you want ! That's why I use one !
If I liked anything better.......I'd change to it !!

RE: Whisker biscuits...YEA or NAY
Most of my friends are using the biscuit and love it, i havent tried it yet but am really considering it. Guess im just old fashioned and love the traditional prong style rest. I keep thinking, man this thing is ugly and its gotta tear up the arrow and really slow it down. But i have diehard bowhunter and target shooters tell me otherwise so maybe i will give it a try.
