Great post Atlasman and you hit the nail squarely on the head----IF the biskit is tuned properly, one will ahve no problem whatsoever. I regularly shoot Duravanes and Duravane 3D's out of mine, as do many of my customers, all with no issues. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12

im new here so stupid question here but if i dont ask ill never learn. my arrows have had the same results on some as shown in the previous pictures. What exactly is the process of tuning a whisker biscuit. ive heard of trimming but what exactly is the process of tuning?

I went to eastons web site but could not find anything about the WB.

Can someone give a little more detail?

I never did trim my WB, didn't really need to. However, as far as tuning I meant by tuning your bow so that your arrows fly straight without wobble, fishtailing, or porpoising. If you haven't done so I suggest downloading Easton's Tuning Guide from here: http://www.eastonarchery.com/downloa...ning_guide.zip. Read it thoroughly. If you tune your bow with the procedures used there you'll be shooting your broadheads right with your field tips, which is a real plus! Your groups will be much smaller as well. Those procedures should be used with whatever rest you decide to use. I personally don't rely too much on paper tuning anymore simply because once I get my BH's to fly with my field tips out to about 60yds the bullet hole is still a bullet hole! Eastons guide covers it all let me tell ya! Easton's guide doesn't cover any rest specifically you just use the procedures by moving your nocking point and your rest left or right to get proper tune.

Easton's tuning guide doesn't have anything to do with the WB. It is used to help you tune your bow to shoot your arrows with as good of flight as possible. This is of major help to accuracy and penetration problems.

Your bow should be tuned no matter what rest you have on there.

The thing about the WB is though that when it is not in tune it will mark up your vanes like I showed..........this is actually a GOOD thing because if you have a WB that is shredding vanes you know something is not right..........get it adjusted right and you will see that your vanes stay as good as new.

I had the rest 1&1/2 increments (lines on the rest) LEFT of my current setup and a full 2 increments LOW. I figured those were fair movements because I had to move my buddies brother's WB more then that to get it where it should be............and it really is nothing that would jump out to the naked eye. It's not like I had the arrow pointing at the gound bottomed out in any direction.

Judging by my results I would guess MANY guys out there are unfortunately shooting WB's that are AT LEAST that far out of tune

Curious, did you verify the out of tune setting with paper, or just by how they shot compared to your tuned setting?

If paper, did you ever find any out of tune settings that gave you a perfect bullet hole?

I didn't verify the out of tune setting with paper............I have paper tuned in the past (with drop aways and prong rests) and found it to be the least valuable feedback IMO..........I am just not a big fan of chasing bullet holes because I have seen bows shooting bullet holes and I didn't care for the arrow flight visually.

I am certain the paper would have been a mess..........my arrows were cork screwing and flying like a wounded duck. There was marks on the disc of my WB on the bottom where the vanes were dragging along the disc (not bristles) portion.

Most if not all vane damage comes from contact with the outer ring of the WB IMO............a bunch of people have said here that their vanes look just like the ones I showed...............and they got that way by slamming into the disc..........not going through the bristles wrong.

The fact that someone at a archery shop can set up a rest for a customer and have it so far off that the arrows are slamming against the outer disc is utterly amazing and sad to me. I'm not saying it is gonna be PERFECT leaving the shop but come on. These guys rely too much on their lazer pointers and levels..........and even worse is that when someone brings arrows back with chewed up vanes they just shrug their shoulders and blame it on the rest.

MAN!! I wish I had seen this 3 days ago. I had a WB, and bought a fall away 2 days ago because of the very same reason. My vanes looked just like the ones in the picture. I am pretty new to the whole bow thing, so I guess you live and learn. It is good to know that if I dont like the fall away, I can go back to the WB, I just need to make sure I get it tuned properly.

Just got back from Gander Mountain. Got a hold of a very experienced guy that knew what he was doing. Sure enough, the guy that first installed my WB didn't do it right. This guy tuned it properly and I've shot about 50 -60 arrows and the vanes are not showing any damage. Thanks again for the post, it sure helped me.
