how exactly does a biscuit work?
 

so i have seen these things on some bows. but, i am still a tad green so i am unsure how this rest works. is the arrow to fly through the rest? does it effect flight? and my biggest question is does the brissles wear down and make the arrow 'droop'. let me know fellas!

RE: how exactly does a biscuit work?
 

There is a ton of information on this site regarding that rest. Many pro's and cons. IMHO, I'd rather push an arrow through "air" (drop-away), versus pushing it through "bristles".....

The arrow shaft goes throught the hole in the center of the biscuit and the fletches push their way through the bristles.

While I am sure that there is some minimal amout of wear that occurs over time, it would take a heck of a lot of shooting (probably more than you would do in a lifetime) to actually wear a biscuit out.

With respect to the accuracy thing, if you take the time and tune your bow well, the biscuit is more accurate than 99% of the archers will ever be. I am pretty sure that one of the pro target shooters shot a 300-60X (perfect score) using a biscuit.

It is simple, easy to tune and darn near foolproof. It is probably the best hunting rest made.

While there are plenty of "techno-weenies", myself included, that shoot other rests (drop aways, prong types, etc...) they tend to be a little more tempremental than the WB. It takes more to get them set up correctly and they all have moving parts that can break or fail to work correctly. The WB has none of these shortcomings.

If you want the most simple, maintence free rest made, then the WB is IT.

IT's good enough I'll be taking off my Drop Zone and installing a WB. Friend of mine has had the same buscuit for 3 years and hasn't had to change a thing. IMHO, the WB is positively the best hunting rest on the market. No moving parts, nothing to fail, and the arrow will never fall off, making especially appealling to the spot and stalk hunter.

If I had to pinpoint a negative, it would be the effect it sometimes has on vanes. W/ some vanes, they wrinkle pretty badly, but the Blazers and feathers work very, very well.

The WB is incredibly accurate, simple to install and tune, and the only negative impact on arrow flight is the loss of MAYBE 3 fps. Whoopidie Doo!

The Bisquit is awesome . I have a drop Tine and it has taken a beating over the last year or two ( rough stalk and hunt conditions). I shoot aluminum arrows , with wraps and 2 inch Blazer vains with a dab of super glue on the front tip of each vain and the system is bullet proof. Ive hit a lot of 2 inch groups from 30 yards out and into animals with this set up .
I approve ;)
Thers alot of little secrets with this set up that make it really solid so let us know if you get one.

hmm!

well, i am not too keen on my rest that i have now. i am sure it just will take me time to get use to. my rest that i got with my bowis just a basic rest.

I might just have to try one of these WBs.

I am awfully hungry right now too, so that sounds great.

Hey HC- I really think you need to try the www.schafferarchery.comcustom arrow rests for your bows. Nothing against the TT but I think you would see a world of difference in performance. I've tried most of them on the market out there and I have'nt seen one that takes as much abuse in the field as Schaffers and doesn't go out of tune. Also you can convert the rest to a standard rest with just a change an internal spring. No need to buy two rests. Just my opinion.
