Im searching for information on rests and see many mention the WB. It baffles me because all of the tuning posts and rules there are drive home that any fletching contact is bad, yet someone will put a WB on that makes every single part of the arrow contact the rest the whole way.

Dont get me wrong, I have friends who swear by them, just an observation that Ive never been able to understand is all...

dtabor,

I hear what your saying and this point has been brought up many times in the past. The " idea" of the wisker bisquit is that there is completely even contact with all the flechings. Personally, I use the WB and find that it is deadly accurate, consistant, quiet, fast, and worry-free (worry-free = I don' t worry as much about something going wrong with the rest) when hunting. It might not be the best rest out there and there is a slight loss in fps, but the bottom line is that it works. I was a skeptic before i used it and that skepticism carried through a couple hundred shots. Now that i' ve been using it, and have it properly tuned, I wouldn' t trade it for anything. There are good alternatives to the WB too so be sure to check those out also. In my opinion, try it and then make judgment, you might find that even though it goes against the industry and everything you' ve learned, you just might like it.

Good luck out there,
BJ

The whisker biscuit should have a loose arrow to biscuit fit to be used properly. The biscuit should also not be tipped forward or backward, it should be parallel to the bowstring. The arrow should be nocked at a 90degee angle to the bowstring with the bow set at an even tiller. You should tiller tune the bow to get a level nock in the target. This rest is simple, quiet, accurate, and it stays in tune. Good luck hunting!
