Whisper Biscuit tuning question?
I have a new Whisper Biscuit QS I am trying to tune to no avail. It tears with the vanes low every shot. I move the nock up and the rest down and it does not get any better? Any suggestions Thanks Steve

RE: Whisper Biscuit tuning question?
If you are shooting a 2 cam, it could be a problem with cam synch. If a 1 cam, it could be a nock travel problem. The nock point could be set too high, and the top of the arrow may be pushing off the top of the hole in the Biscuit, giving you a low tear by reaction to that. It could also be a problem with arrow spine. It could be too much heel of the hand in the grip also. It is kinda hard to tell without more info.

RE: Whisper Biscuit tuning question?
The whisker biscuit shoots best with the correct spine arrows on properly timed evenly tillered bows.
You can get real close to an even tiller by tightening the limb bolts then backing them out three even turns each.
A consistent nock low arrow is often the result of having an extra turn on the lower limb bolt, probably from having to accomodate a high nocking point and some other rest design.
The whisker biscuit works best with the bow set at an even tiller and the arrow nocked at 90degrees to the bowstring.
The biscuit should be parallel to the bowstring and not tipped forward or tipped backward.
The initial windage position for the rest should be centered with the stabilizer of the bow.
The final windage setting for the rest should be determined by group tuning for the narrowest groups. When the bow is stacking arrows on the same vertical line at different distances its set right.
You can leave the arrow nocked at 90degrees to the bowstring and adjust the tiller of the bow as needed to correct for a high or lo nock arrow in the target. A highnock arrow in the target would require tightening the lower limb bolt to correct the tiller so the bow ill shoot a level arrow. A low nock arrow will require that you tighten the upper limb bolt to correct the tiller and have the bow shoot a level arrow in the target.
If you tune the bow like this you don't need a ruler or a bowsquare or a lazer. Just a wrench.
Good luck tuning your bow.
