whitetailtrax Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I'm looking into the Whisker Biscuit for my bow and wanted to know what people think about my settup and if they think the WB is right for my setup. I'm shooting 2514 alluminum shafts with 125 grain Thuderhead broadheads. I went to these "small trees" last year and my broadheads fly great, but I'm wondering if the Whisker Biscuit is suited for those large arrows. I shoot a flipper rest now, but still have nightmares about the big one that got away when my arrow fell off the rest as I drew back. Thanks in advance for any advise!

hutchies Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed I don't think I will ever own another rest. The whisker biscuit is the best I have found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed Whisker Biscuit comes in two sizes: one for aluminum arrows and one for carbons arrows. Make sure you check which one you are purchasing. For hunting, there's probably not a better rest on the market for the money. But if you're planning on shooting 3-D seriously or Spots, I'd recommend a drop away or prong type rest. I use a Bodoodle Game Dropper for both hunting and competition and love it. I just don't like something touching my vanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailtrax Posted June 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed I've done a little research this afternoon, and it appears there are two Types - one for alluminum and one for carbon, but 5 Sizes to choose from - small, medium, large, XL, and fishing depending on arrow size. So, it appears they make a "biscuit" big enough for my 2514's. I appreciate the input because I too am a little worried about the affect the biscuit will have on flight of the arrow. Sounds like lots of people like em, so I will give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed SHould not affect a heavy arrow like that at all as long as it is in tune. Just call the company and ask which size you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddhunter Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed I shoot a WB on my Switchback and I love it but also recently seen a NO-DROP rest in my Buckmasters mag. that looks really good and should acomidate a bigger shaft without any problem, it is made by NAP and is called the QuickTune 360 Capture rest. Check it out at 360 Capture Rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed [ QUOTE ] DONT BUY IT!!!! [/ QUOTE ] I love it when someone can't/won't back up their self righteous claims. Cracks me up every time. Back to the topic at hand. It is all personal preference. I've shot a W.B. on one of my bows for almost 4 years now. I love that rest for hunting. I also own a QAD fall away on a primarily target bow. Love that rest too. There are ton of good rests out there. Shoot what you like and serves your particular needs. For me and many others, the W.B. is the choice rest for a hunting situation. The simplicity of the rest is the best part, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed Yup, you don't make a statement like " don't buy it " unless you can give reasons why It seems like the vast majority of hunters that use it, luv it too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailtrax Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed In defense of "Excursion40", he did send a PM to me explaining why he doesn't recommend the WB. Basically said he tried it and found that it affected the flight of the arrow and so he recommends a drop away rest. I appreciate everyone's comments. Seems like the majority of folks really like the WB and so I will probably give it a shot. Will let everyone know how I like it after I get some arrows through it - if ya'll care that is!

Guest WhiteHead Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed Yea Man, Its a good rest, for the price you can try and see if you like it, If not no big lose of $. I put a lite coat of silcone spray on my plastic vanes so they don't waffle. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Sure...let us know how you honestly feel about it after you try it. I put one on the compound I bought last summer. I highly recommend it for hunting. Bagged 3 doe and the biggest buck of my life hunting with it last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed I wouldn't buy it.............for me! Only because I have a buddy that is over a bow shop and he gives me all of my rests! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Re: Advise on Whisker Biscuit needed Just my opinion, but I'd HIGHLY suggest going with a drop away rest. They will be quieter and won't tear up your fletchings like the WB will. You shouldn't have to worry about the arrow falling from a drop away. They all come with an arrow holder to put in front of the rest. And if you can't pull your bow straight back withouth moving around, you are pulling too much weight.
