toddyboman Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I have one and I am wanting to put it on my bow but here is the problem. The arrow starts out with the veins IN the bisquit already. I have an older hoyt bow that has the built in overdraw so.... Will this have in impact on the way it shoots. Do you think it will tear up my viens quicker or the bisquit?? Im currently shooting quickspin viens. Thanks for your input guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanH Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Whisker Bisquit question/problem... Try to use blazer vanes! Plus the blazer vanes are stiffer so the will last longer in the bisquit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Whisker Bisquit question/problem... Speaking from experience with both, the 4" bohning vanes or smaller are the only vanes to use in the biscuit, trust me, I've been there done that.. It sounds like you have 5" vanes on there now right The Whisker Biscuit also acts as a bit of an overdraw rest, which makes it pretty tough to use the 5" vanes. As far as the Quickspins go, I also tried those in my Biscuit. They are a very good light-weight vane, but way, way, way too fragile of a vane for the biscuit. It will tear them up in no time.

BowJoe Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Whisker Bisquit question/problem... I'd say just go with the 4" vanes and it shouldn't matter where they make contact when shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Whisker Bisquit question/problem... My son's vanes are in the biscuit before he draws and we haven't seen a problem. But when these need to be replaced, I'm putting 2" Blazers on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Whisker Bisquit question/problem... No it will not do anything negative since before the shot you will be drawing back nad then upon release, the vane are intended to pass threw anyways.

hunterfisherman Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Whisker Bisquit question/problem... I use a Whisker Bisquit and it shouldn't effect your shot. I would use a smaller bohning or Blazer. The cheaper vanes will get eat'n up pretty fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-Hunter Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Whisker Bisquit question/problem... I used quickspin veins last year and the gentleman (manager) at gander mountain (avid bowhunter) said that the quickspin veins have such a good memory, that after 2 or 3 shots, the veins will become a little warped by the whisker biscuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Whisker Bisquit question/problem... Thanks for the input guys. It sounds like I can make it work just looks weird to see my viens inside the bisquit before I draw my bow. [ QUOTE ] My son's vanes are in the biscuit before he draws and we haven't seen a problem.

Guest Finn Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Whisker Bisquit question/problem... Sure. I shoot 2 inch Blazers with my 100 grain Muzzys and they fly great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mrgrumpy Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I like the whisker biscuit, but I have a problem with mine. I am shooting 4 inch duravanes and after about five or six shots, the vanes are starting to strip off. Can anyone tell me what is causing that? thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I like the whisker biscuit, but I have a problem with mine. I am shooting 4 inch duravanes and after about five or six shots, the vanes are starting to strip off. Can anyone tell me what is causing that? thanx Its very important to add a drop of glue to the ends of each vane. Just like what was mentioned above, Bohning vanes are the best for any Whisker Biscuit user. Blazers work great out of the WB rest. There is a lot of us on here that use them with this rest. Just don't use a helical with 4 or 5 inch vanes. It will tear the vanes and biscuit up. It also slows your arrows down too. I just started to play with a helical on my Blazers, so far so good! Since the Blazers are so short, there is not enough to damage the vane or biscuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Is there a tutorial to keep the rookies from digging up 2 year old posts? Yeah but the neat thing is, new people to the sport can research for info! Which I think is a cool thing! Then, if there are any other issues they may have. They can just re-post in here.

Hoyt03 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I would try a drop away rest. Same idea as a biscuit without the flecthing contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, if there are any other issues they may have. They can just re-post in here. Yep, that is a very good point and probably has a lot to do with the reason why we have a search feature. Whether it is a new post or old post, if it helps someone out, I have no issue with it. Would also agree that adding a drop of glue to the leading edge of the vanes may solve your problem.

Sambar Hunter Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 The arrow starts out with the veins IN the bisquit already Why is the veins already in the bisquit, thats just asking for trouble on the outset, who knowes were the arrow could fly off to, for starters get/build alonger arrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Why is the veins already in the bisquit, thats just asking for trouble on the outset, who knowes were the arrow could fly off to, for starters get/build alonger arrow Having the veins start off in the rest has nothing to do with shaft length ... it has to do with "BRACE HEIGHT" the shorter bows and longer veins will do this ... ;) It's not a problem if you train yourself to make sure the arrow is set in the rest properly... Using Bohning Blazer veins would be suggested in this instance .. If veins ar peeling after a few shots, just add a drop or two to the leading edge of the veins and that shoud remedy the problem ..

I agree with buckee %100 on this we had the same issue with the biscuit and switched vane size i am pretty sure to a 4 inch. What was happening with ours is it would cause the biscuit to distort the whiskers and cause some eractic flight eventualy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
