Hey everyone
I used an original whisker biscuit and had no problems at all, I just switched to a brand new drop tine one with a new biscuit, and now, for some reason, on my 5 inch fletchings, one of them (the same one on each arrow) is getting warped, all wavy.
Am I doing something wrong? Is something wrong with the biscuit?
I never had any trouble like this with my old one, and I am curious as to what could have changed
thanx!!

Make sure the vane is not hitting the lower bar, align your nocks with the cock vane straight up to eliminate the interferance. I have seen this on several of the drop tines.

I had the same troubles. Always was the same vein. I would have to get them refletched almost every week. I even tried the cock vein up I ended up getting a new prong style rest(Tigertuff)

I have the cock feather up already, and if you are looking at the arrow from the back, it is the vane to the left of the cock feather.
The other vane and the cock vane are fine, but that one is wrinkeled badly.
I was hoping i wouldn't have to take it back or anything I really liked my original whisker biscuit :-(

Paper tune your bow first and if you still have the problem try your old biscuit on the droptine and see if it still happens.

Did you trim the bristles on the rest? It is hard to say what is happening, but the WB will make some fletches "wavey" or feathers "fuzz" up. If it is the same vane you will have to rotate you nocks and to to eliminate whatever is cuasing the problem.

I considered getting a muzzy, but don't have the cash for one.
If I sell my old whisker biscuit and some other parts then i will do that.
It is the exact same fletching on every arrow, So i guess i will have to rotate my nocks :-(
