Whisker Biscuit
I mounted a biscuit on my bow today and planned on shooting this evening. Is there anything "special" that needs to be done prior to shooting with the biscuit? Or do I simply shoot and make the proper adjustments during my practice session? Any input would be appreciated.

RE: Whisker Biscuit
You should have the newer Biscuit with the dark bristles on the bottom . They are stiffer than the others and support the weight of the arrow . Make sure your Cock Feather is straight up ! Other than that it is just fine tuning ......

RE: Whisker Biscuit
As stated before a dab of glue on the front edge ofeach vane will helpstop thevanes from tearing off
I posted this on another thread that some one asked the same questions about Whisker Buiscuit tuning, here is what I wrote. Start with this and tune from there, good luck.
With a Whisker Biscuit it's best to start with these basicsettings and then adjust/tune from there.
Set at center shot to the string
Set so the arrow is 90 deg.to the string (perfectly level arrow)
Set so the biscuit it's self is level. (not tilted in or out)
Set the tiller even
Make sure you have the correct size opening, the arrow should rest only on the black bristles. You should be able to see light around most of the arrow.
From there you can start to tune and in my experience it won't take long to get perfect arrow flight and no wearto your fletchings. I have vanes that have been shot thousands of times throughmy Whisker Biscuit with no signs of wear.

Big J,
I have never had an issue with the vanes tearing away when i have beaded the front of them while using a WB.
With this current set of 6 (same arrows and vanes) I had two tear offat the leading edge. I did not use a bead on these.

When I first switched over to the new style biscuit I was getting slightly wavey vanes and switched to a better quality vane.That cured the problem, I then realized I had the wrong size opening biscuit. I got the correct size for my arrows and never needed to put on expensive vanes again.
When my arrow is in the biscuit itonly touches the black bottom bristles.
