well i have the whisker biscuit on my bow, and i love it!!! the guy that said you will lose 5fps is a lil off. local pro shop owner test it over and over and over on different bows and makes of bows. the result was 1fps is all. that is not bad at all.. if i was you i would get the biscuit, you will love it i promise......
p.s. if you use the biscuit with gold tip arrows it is a little bit loud.....not bad at all, but if you use the new scout mountain epsilons you will not hear it at all ..... great arrow!! they are the best arrows for the biscuit.... cabelas told me, so i got them. they are right....

Muzzyman, when I was using the fingernail polish with Gold Tips, I got about 10 shots before they wore through the polish... but very easy to reapply, and a bottle of the stuff only cost me $.97...

How much you loose on the wisker buscuit depends on the arrow weight and type...carbon, aluminum etc,,... The average is around 4 to 5 fps...I know this to be true from using one myself and testing several different arrow weights and types...It is nice in the respect that arrows do not drop off the rest....The amount you will loose in fps does not descredit the wisker biscuit. I reccomend trying both if you know someone that has them..Trial is the only way to find out if it works for you..

I just installed the new zapper 400. It can truely be configured in any direction, it is completely reversable, left, right, and up side down. I installed mine up side down, so I have what would be a common bodoodle rest on the bottom and a single that rides on the top of the arrow. Shoots perfect. My camoed Gold Tips are quiet as can be.

Hi, I use the Bodoodle Zapper. Works well for me. I had concerns about draw noise so I called Bodoodle. The Gentleman there gave me the advice about using the teflon nail polish. However another tip he mentioned that works for any rest is >CHAPSTICK< When you head out just put a little daub on the rest where the arrow touches and it quiets it right down. (He did not specify any particular flavour.) It's only good for that one shot, but isn't that all you really need in the field?

When I first got the whisker biscuit, I lost 4 fps with my arrows. I then trimmed the back and cut notches for the vanes to pass through and now there is no difference in speed from a regular rest, and the biscuit still works as good as before. It's simple in design, easy to adjust, rugged and a great rest for hunting. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a rest that is made for hunting situations.
Goldtips are a bit noisy when drawn. KBP, glad to hear the suggestion to use Scout Mountain Epsilon arrows. I'll have to give them a try.

tm, I've been using the Epsilons with no problems whatsoever. Very tough arrows. I hit a steel beam at the range with one. Ground the point off on one side (sparks were flying) and the nock broke. I put in a new point and nock, and it's fine. I can't imagine the correct nocks cracking these arrows. Quite a few people shoot them and I don't see many in the junk barrel.
