Default airbourne vs whisker biscuit

I bought a 82 airbourne and love using the WB when hunting. My question is will the speed of the bow cause me to constinatly have to change my blazers? Does anyone have any experience with the two together?

thanks
nick

You should be Ok. I'd take a look at the New Hostage Pro if you prefer a full containment rest. It has all the advantages of the WB without the fletching contact

does that hold the arrow as well as a WB? It looks like it might not be as secure.

I have the regular hostage rest and it works good but if I am not mistaken the hostage pro is made stronger and the bristles are adjustable so they can close in more on the arrow if you wanted.

Blazers are pretty tough vanes so I doubt it would be a problem with the wisker bisquit. I know the quick spin vanes sure didnt like the wisker bisquit pretty much at any speeds.

Just make sure you put a dab of glue on each end of your fletch and you'll be fine with a whisker biscuit.

Hostage is a good rest but the Hostage Pro has raised the bar even higher.

You are right the brushes are adjustable, and it is Super Secure.

I don't think the new bisquits with the softer brown bristles tear up my vanes, but with the older model bisquit i did this. No more fletching contact, no speed loss and still holds arrow very secure. I just heated up a flat head screwdriver with a hand torch and melted the bristles then trimmed with moustache scissors.

That is a nifty idea. I like that.

So simple, yet so efficient. Nice job.
