Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Ok everyone.. I need to know something from everyone who shoots a whisker biscuit. How long is your draw and how long are your arrows? Is there a big difference between your arrow length and your draw length? Reason I ask is because I just put a WB on my bow. In order to determine my arrow length, my dad and I marked one inch past the WB on the arrow when I was at full draw. We then cut the arrows and found out the arrows were then 24.5" long. My draw is 26". Is this correct? Did we screw up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAstringking Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Whisker Biscuit Shooters its a good rule to go 1" past the rest expecially on a WB another common rule is 1/2" less then DL you will be fine with that set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogg6 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Whisker Biscuit Shooters I have a 31" draw and my arrows are 28". They are about 3/4" past the biscuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Whisker Biscuit Shooters Wow. After we cut them, I looked at the arrows and said.. Those look mighty short!!! The tape measure said they were 24.5" long. Totally different from the arrows I shot last year with the two prong rest. So I should be ok?

AdvantageTimberLou Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Whisker Biscuit Shooters did you do a safety check on them, weigh your arrow with broadhead and see if your poundage your safe to shoot that arrow. Remember anytime you shorten an arrow you take away weight and if your on the edge on being too light that is not safe. It could hurt you and damage your bow as well. Draw length and arrow length don't need to be the same number, that arrow does have to be safe and weigh enough to handle the poundage you are set at.

JDAWG Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Whisker Biscuit Shooters My arrows are about 1" past my WB, but the biggest thing is....how do they fly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Whisker Biscuit Shooters Lou, I just did it. My arrows are 8.9 gpi and they are 24.5" long. So I just multiplied 8.9 x 24.5 = 218.05. Plus a 100gr broadhead = 318.05. Divided by 60# equals 5.3. Did I even calculate this one right? I have heard 5 grains per pound and now does 5.3 mean I am ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Whisker Biscuit Shooters Joe you are above 5 GPP but actually you didn't include Nock, Insert, or Fletching weight. That will add up to another 50 grains or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ILclimber Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Whisker Biscuit Shooters I'm about an inch longer as well, Hope you like the WB, I love it and haven't had any problems with it! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Whisker Biscuit Shooters Hutch.. you're right and I just worked it all out. I pulled out my dads scale that measures weight in grams. I measured all the inserts I have and all the shrink fletch I have and my lumenoks. Then after writing down the weight of each in grams, I used the converter calculator on my cell phone. The weights of each individual insert, lumenok and shrink fletch were all the exact same. Here is what I came up with: Shaft w/o broadhead = 218.05 gr Lumenok = 24.7 gr Shrink Fletch = 26.2 gr Insert = 16.9 gr Broadhead = 100 gr I added all of them together for a grand total of 385.9 gr. Then divided by 60 ( I'm pulling 60# ) and got 6.43 GPP. So I'm ok.. right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamphunter Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Whisker Biscuit Shooters My draw length is 28 1/2 inches...my arrows are 27 1/2". It is because of the position of the rest. It is like an overdraw. Remember those when they came out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
