Regret the Whisker Bisquit
#141
BigJ12... No, I don't like the whisker bisquit. I'm not biased though, according to yourdefinition,because I do NOT take every opportunity to bash the things. I'm usually quite content to totally ignore the wb threads. This is the first wb thread in several years where I've actually gotten down on this overglorified battery terminal cleaner.[8D]I onlygot into itthistime to make a point. I was just waiting for one of you guys to get it. Straightarrow doesn't count because I PM'd him early on and let him in on it.
I apologize, I accused you of the very thing I was trying to clear my name of. I did like the "overglorified Battery terminal cleaner" line though.

What's totally hilarious (while pretty sad, at the same time) is, most of 'em still haven't gotten it. Even after I explicitly TOLD them what I was up to.
Anyway, you win this reading skills and comprehension test. Remind me to give you your cigar if we ever get a chance to meet.

I have a cigar with your name on it as well, and I hope someday we will meet.However, we would probably need a few cigars becauseI wouldhave a zillion archery questions to ask you.

After reading all the info I can find on the WB, and reading as many posts as possible both on this forum and others it really seems as though the WB is a great overall rest, and if you don't like it, there must be something wrong with you.

I think the WB is a decent rest that can work very well for some hunters. The main thing is finding a good vane that can can take the friction. Flex Fletch would be a good choice. There is a lot of people using this rest that love it so there must be soemthing to it!

I got no regrets from using the whisker biscuit.
I've got a thirty-plus year collection of rests with prongs, flippers, wheels, and springs thatI was able to tune, but they all were susceptible to bending and going out of tune, or needing immediate maintainence to keep from ripping the fletching off the arrow.
The whisker biscuit has been remarkably accurate and it stays in tune. Its the first rest I have seen that actually works better the more it is shot.
In a world full of things that seem to be designed with planned obsolescence in mind it is refreshing to see something that is designed to work the way it is supposed to for a real long time.
Good luck hunting! >>>------------>

A flipper rest with fingers is ten times better then a WB.
Yeah thats why flipper rests are outselling WBs 10 to 1 for compound bows these days huh? Lord have mercy. Ignorance is bliss.
Tell you what Z. You bring a flipper rest equiped bow and your finger tab. I'll bring my hunting bow with a B2 WB on it. We will have a little shooting match from say 55 yards. Now since I'll be using the godawful WB which doesn't allow my arrow to oscillate freely and you will have the free to oscillate vastly superior flipper rest then I should have no prayer of winning. Tightest 6 shot group wins. Loser pays 500 bucks to the winner. Hell according to you and Authur my WB will bend after the 3rd shot. None of my arrows will hit the target because their fletching will be torn off as they pass through the WB. The oscillating contact with the WB as my arrow leaves will throw my arrows into at least 4 different zip codes. How can you lose? Come on Z money talks and bull###t walks. I would love to show you how pitiful my bow shoots from this distance. The look on your psuedointellectual face would be priceless as you hand over the cash. Take me up on it.
