F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

frigin thing has ripped my blazers off all but one arrow, and i got them refletched 2 both times at a different shop, any suggestions.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

a drop away rest? Sorry, never liked the biscuit any. Tear up your fletching and noisey on the draw.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

I've been shooting with a Biscuit for 6 years and NEVER had a vane come off an arrow. I shoot 4" vanes that I refletched myself, and have never had a problem. They can make some noise when drawing though, depending on the finish on the arrow.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

Put an extra drop of glue at the front and back of your fletchings. That is what I do and I have no problems with my WB ripping them off.

its gotta be set up wrong.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

I had the same problem this year with arrows fletched w/ 4" vanes.
I'd like to help you out with your problem.
Drop tine rest, problem solved!

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

Never had my fletchings get torn off using a fall away either...... Plus its dead quiet. Too each his own however..

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

As mentioned previously, you need a drop of fletching cement at the front and rear of each fletch. Any competent shop should know this. Otherwise, you have some sort of tuning or clearance problem. Going to a drop away may solve your problem with the veins coming off, but there is still most likelysomething not right here with your setup.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

i had the same thing happen to me, so i let my shop flech them and they use a epoxy and they aint come off yet, you caint even pull them off

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

Build your own deer missles man. Then you don't have to depend on some kid at a shop ruining your huntint time. It's easy. Get a decent jig, some blazer wraps, some good glue and go to town. They won't come off.

Shoot odd vane up with that rest, the bottom black bristles are tougher than the brown ones. You dont' want vanes hitting the black bristles.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

Need a drop away rest. Just my opinion.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

Although I don't shoot a WB I've tried one. The only thing I experienced is some vane wrinkle. Could be improper prepping of the shaft or lack of spot-gluing (both ends). Then again it could be "not so good tuning". Maybe the shafts aren't going through the WB perfectly perpendicular.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

Wipe the bottom of the shaft with acetone, wipe the base of the vane with acetone, use Bohning Platinum Fletch Tite, and dot the front and back of the Blazer vane with a bit of glue and they will be fine. I've hunted with the biscuit for a while now and never had problems.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

It's not the WB. It's either a lack of glue on the front and back ends of the vane or a really bad tuning issue. Too many people (including myself) use the WB successfully for this to be an inherent problem with the rest.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

I don't shoot one, but I've heard people say they cut away some of the hairs (fibers, whatever the proper term is) where their fletchings pass through for less resistance.

Maybe this would help? I don't know what to tell you, I shoot a limb driver, and it's probably the last rest I will ever buy, it is absolutely outstanding.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

Super Glue Gel and drop on both ends should take care of problem.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

What about setting the rest loose so it goes with the vanes? That way you get no damage to the blazers:eek:.

Just kidding... I would give Octane Hostage or similiar a go. Drop away seems another good option;).

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

i got a WB on my old bow and my nephew has one on his for 5 years...and its never done that....dont sound to me like the shop thats fletching them knows what they are doing......when i do mine i take off all of the old fletching and glue....take a small piece of scotch brite and scuff up the area that the fletchings are going on...clean it with 91% Alchol....then fletch them up....and you have to put a drop of glue on the front of the vane or its gonna come off....i put one on the front and back..might be a little much but i havent ever had one come off yet

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

You've been given some excellent advise in gluing your fletchings a lil bit "heavier" at ends. some of us encountered that problem as well as excessive drag/noise/interference while using wb. A solution we came up with was to thin out the bristles a little bit. VERY carefully,selectively cut some of the bristles around the circumference so there won't be as much contact with your vanes. Be careful and do this a tiny bit at a time as you can always cut more bristles off but impossible to put them back on if you cut too many.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

If you like plastic vanes I would try the Shrink Fletch System. I had problems with my WB so I went to feathers and haven't had a single problem since.

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

i never had a problem before, with my old bow, but i got a new one and went with blazers, from 4in duravanes, and like the 3rd round of shooting all i heard was this phwlwlwllwlw noise. i might have to try the super glue at the ends, andi am square verticaly and the shop man said i was so close to square left to right, that if he tried to fix it i would more unsquare then before.

ohh and in order to get fletching clearance i have to come extremly close to the black whiskers.

And i was told by the shop tech that his bow which is the same as mine ended up melt the bristles on his hostage.

1 mor this my loop nock slid up yesterday and had to get resquared, frigin winners choice strings, or that old guy at a different shop

RE: F@#$@n whisker biscuit
 

Get you one of the Hostage rests. Then you have no fletch contact and your arrow can't get knocked off either. I don't see how the WB sells like it does when you can avoid all the problems and contact but still get all the advantages with the Hostage.

I just put the QAD Pro Rest and like it!
I hear that this rest is not a fast enough drop away.
The rest has no spring adjustment.
A Spot Hogg Infinity from Obsession For $79.00 might be better, but i love this Q A D!
