mainebuck Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I finally did it. After a couple years of buddies telling how much they loved their whisker biskits I bit the bullet and put one on my bow this afternoon. I got a half dozen new Beman ICS Trebark Hunter arrows as well. Rest feels real good. I love the security of not having to worry about the arrow falling off the rest. My only concern. Have you guys who use them been busted by deer hearing you draw? My old rest was dead quiet due to the leather cover on the launcher. This is a little louder. Do the bristles get quieter after they get worn or do you guys try to draw early when you have deer coming in? definitely a great product.

tedicast Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: gave in to biskit-pressure Congrats on the WB, and good luck with it. What I love about my Vital Bow Gear rest, is it has the advantage of the WB in that it holds the arrow securely, with the advantages of a drop away. Here is a pic of my Outback hanging upside down with an arrow on the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: gave in to biskit-pressure Thats cool. I can barely hear mine, so I doubt a critter 20 yards away will hear it at all. I think your going to like it alot..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainebuck Posted August 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: gave in to biskit-pressure I shot it again at dusk. I'm likin it. Jim do you use that Sno Seal stuff on yours to waterproof it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: gave in to biskit-pressure The more I shot the quieter it got, for me anyways. I dont even notice it anymore. Maybe my mind is blocking it out! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: gave in to biskit-pressure Congratulations on the new rest. I shoot one on my switchback and have shot atleast 500 arrows through it and really don't notice any noise from it but I really don't pay any attention to it either.

Guest kunegos Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: gave in to biskit-pressure I've never had any noise with mine, shooting really chap beaman arrows and ACC's. I had a buddy though who said his would hiss a little bit on the draw. It never was enough to affect hunting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sagitarius Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: gave in to biskit-pressure Take a cotton ball on the front side and drag it through the hole front to back. It will leave some of the cotton on the wisker tips and effectivley silence it. It only lasts one or two shots but it is dead silent and you only get one or two shots all season as it is. This came from the local Carolina Archery rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: gave in to biskit-pressure Congrats on the new rest. I haven't noticed a noise probably but may trim mine as Buckee mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: gave in to biskit-pressure I have not used snow seal on mine..I have not done a thing to it actually. I do not bowhunt in the rain, espicially the freezing rain so no need to in my case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
