Whisker biscuit + arrow length question
 
Just wondering how many people that use a whisher biscuit cut their arrows to less than their draw length and if this is a viable option. Seems to me like it would work as long as your broadheads had enough clearance.

Haven't tried this, but it sounds like it work as long as it didn't mess up the spining of the arrow. I have noticed in some of the arrow charts that a certain arrow, as it gets shorter, becomes suitable for heavier bows - and your arrow might be too stiff for the bow that it was formerly just the right stiffness.

Well my draw length is 30" so if I cut them down it would probably be to 28" which would fit about perfect on the WB

Just keep you broadheads out of the whiskers and you are fine. It is no different than using a micro-overdraw. It will help you with speed, also.

I used this to my advantage. I was using 29.5" CX300's with 125 grain broadheads. I was underspined with this setup. The WB allowed me to cut them to 27". They spined perfect and I picked up some speed.

I cut my arrows the same as I would without a WB but that's just me. That way I won't need to buy new ones if I get a different rest.

The correct arrow length regardless of type of rest would be close to an inch under your draw length anyway. Being that the WB is a slight overdraw rest you could go even shorter if you wanted.

My question would be what do you think you are going to gain by shooting an arrow that is a few inches shorter? Your most significant change will be in spine, and I would be willing to bet if you are shooting carbons they are already stiff. If not shortening them might help. I would turn your poundage down first if you can to check and see if they shoot better. If they do you could cut them down and turn your weight back up.
