Carbon Arrows
I recently purchased a Browning F5 Tornado bow. I am drawing 65# and shooting 26.5" arrows with 100 gr. heads. I also purchased 6 Easton carbon arrows. I weighed each arrow on my electronic scale and they are all within 3 gr. with the field points attached. When outfitting the bow I installed a whisker biscuit B2. I noticed when shooting my arrows for the first time the biscuit would slightly deform the vanes. This doesn't seem to effect accuracty as the bow is very accurate and quiet. I have primarily only shot three of the six arrows. Yesterday I pulled the unfired arrows out of the case and began to shoot them. The biscuit is not deforming the vanes and these arrows will impact 6" higher at 40 yards. I reweighed the arrows with the field points just to recheck and my first weighing is correct. I was wondering if the biscuit needs a break in period? I do have nocks that rotate. The vanes are not hitting the dark colored fibers on the bottom of the biscuit. I understand these fibers are to support the weight of the arrow shaft. I have never used the biscuit before I have always shot a TM Hunter style rest. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
