Feed back on the Whisker bisquit?
 

Big self debate on adding the whisker to my equipment just looking for some user feed back pros/cons thanks for your time?

RE: Feed back on the Whisker bisquit?
 

I got my first Whisker Biscuit this year and I love it. This is the first year I've gone hunting but I've been shooting for about four years now, always used a traditional rest. The biscuit lets you draw without worrying about the arrow bouncing off the rest, whether you are using a release or your fingers. The only drawback I've seen is to the fletchings. If your bow is tuned right, it won't be bad, but you probably will notice some streaks start to show up on the fletchings and if you shoot alot, you may need to have the fletchings replaced a bit more often.

do you think it would be better to shoot feathers vs vanes

RE: Feed back on the Whisker bisquit?
 

I shoot vanes but my father-in-law owns an archery shop. I do hear that feathers tend to last a little longer with the biscuit. Be sure to get one of the newer ones with the notch in it for loading your arrow. The full circle ones are good too, but a bit more of a pain to load.

I went Biscuit this year and now I wonder why I resisted for so long ;)

I don't seem to have any problems re: fletchings, I'm shooting 4" vanes and have shot each of my arrows 25+ times. I bought my rig at Cabela's (Fred Bear Buckmaster 4000) so I guess the guys there set it up right.:)

The big plus is that the rest is just so simple- no timing, moving parts, or arrows falling off the rest. As Ron Popeil says: "Just set it, and forget it!"

The downside, some guys talk about the loss of speed. My bow is rated 310fps IBO, so unless my arrows start bouncing off deer I'm not going to think about it.

I went to a whisker biscuit last year and can't brag on it enough. It tunes easier than any rest I have ever had and I am very picky arrow flight. I went to feathers and would suggest deffinately suggest that. They fly great and no wear so far. About 100 shots so far.

I have been bowhunting over 23yr. And i can honestly say this is the best rest i have ever used!!

RE: Feed back on the Whisker bisquit?
 

This will be my second year hunting with the Biscuit rest and as long as the company keeps making them I will kkep using it. I get in my stand, nock an arrow and wait without worrying about the arrow in the rest. Brilliant invention and I suggest buying one.

LMAO ! I had my bow set up with it to begin with so I don't know any different. I love it.

I like the concept and the ease of use. But I am having one hell of a time getting it tuned correctly. This is my second year using it, but I am tempted to go "drop away" next year. Hopefully that will make things a little cheaper on me. (Fewer trips to the pro shop to replace feathers.)

I do say if you can get it tuned correctly it is the way to go.

RE: Feed back on the Whisker bisquit?
 

lonestar you owe it to yourself to at least try a drop away, I had mine installed last year and it's by far the best. Put it on, set it up and didnt even need to tune. I shoot from 0 to 60 yds with awsome grouping using carbon arrows. I'm using the Drop zone and it is super quiet.
I cant understand why the bisquite is so popular, its noisy, it tears up fletching, its hard to tune, Ive never used one but I can only imagine the noise it makes as the arrow comes crashing through it at 260 + fps. freeezes up during the winter, hmmmm did I leave anything out.

i dought a new hoyt ultratec after hunting season last year and i put the whisker bisquit on that. I dident give my bisquit a fair chance i couldent get it to shoot like i wanted it to. i would shoot good groops ant 20 yards but about 1 out of every 5 arrows would shoot off to one side or eather be high or low. and at 30 yards i couldent shoot a 6 inch group. so i threw it away and went to a quicktune 1000 rest. then i went down to my local archery shop to get a string replaced about a weeks ago and one of my buddys down there told me that i should have been shooting the cock vane up insted of down on the bisquit (TIP!!!!!!)

season starts in 3 days so it is to late to change it right now but next year i am guna give it another chance i thank that it will performe great
