Default Whisker Biscuit and rain...

I was thinking about trying one out but the guy at the pro shop says when it is wet you lose several fps. (I can pretty much count on it being wet since I live in OR.). Does anyone agree? Anyone like/dislike them?

No worries!

There was a guy at an outdoor 3d range last year babbling about how a guy he knew who was hunting in the rain with his wb , took a shot at a deer and his arrow pretty much fell out of the bow<img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>

I knew he was full of b.s. from my personal experience (I already shot it in rain and freezing rain) , so I said oh yeah , jeeze I guess I better find out before hunting season<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>. So , I walk down to the creek (20 ft away) , stick the fletchings completely under water , bend down , cupped my hands , fill them with water and dump it on the biscuit. We then walked back to the twenty yard target and I dropped it in the 10 ring , missing the 12 by 1/4&quot;. The guy just mumbled something under his breath and walked away.<img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

If ya ever get the notion to try it , have someone take a picture while you shoot. The guys buddy said the mist of water that came from the shot was the coolest thing he's ever seen.

Rain, no problem. Freezing rain, poke the whiskers every now and then to keep them from freezing up.

If you want a hunting rest that secures the arrow, this is a very good one.
