Arrow Rest Help

I was refering to the wisker biscuit.

Been using one for years. Tuning isnt all that hard. I think having a bow thats in tune is the first step. That being said people do have issues with a whiskerbiscuit....im just not one of them

Im pretty anal about tuning. When a rest tunes differently with blazer vanes compared to feathers, I want no part of it.

I do believe the bow's nock travel plays a major role in how they tune.

If I were forced to use one, I would use feathers and refletch often.


There are fallaways that have issues as well when it comes to tuning. Falling too early can be a nightmare.

To each his own. I just know ive had good luck with a whiskerbiscuit. Had to mess around with vane selection at first but that was fairly simple.

 

I didn't have to many problems with the whisker biscuit, i guess i got lucky,.

Shoot through paper with your fletching and then with feathers and see what im talking about




This from their website basically states all tuning issues result in a high tear.:D

No thanks

Ill try that sometime. Ive never been big on micro tuning and paper tuning etc. I keep it simple.

 

I like the hostage, just me.

 

Diamond shooter- the hostage was tearing up my fletchings, but it may have been the arrows the shop sold me didn't jive with that rest. It did hold the arrow .

I like to keep it simple as well. But I am anal about tune. Low poundage setups such as mine and many I tune need clean arrow flight and clean arrow flight equates to better broadhead flight and better penetration. In my experience, a wb isn't worth the hassle when I can achieve my demands easier and at a higher level with other rests.

Don't get me wrong, there are fallaways that are a pain as well and I have no patience for them either.

I agree with this. My WB shoots lights out, and is a great rest for a hunting bow. With Blazers and proper tuning, you won't have fletching issues and the biscuit will last a long, long time.

 

I am going to get blazer fletchings its probably a cheaper route than replacing the rest.

A WB would be fine for all of that. I was mainly referring to my "style" of hunting. I hunt on the ground quite a bit and having the arrow completely contained at any given moment is a big plus. (yes, I realize there are dropaways with full containment but I chose to go back to the WB).

 

Oh ok got it. I am going to be on the ground hunting a lot. I am going to keep the WB and put the blazer fletchings on my arrows.

I use Blazers as well. I honestly don't know why some people have issues with their vanes coming off? I think they must have vane to arrow adhesion problems. My blazers never get that crinkle to them either.

 

I haven't had any damage to my fletchings with the WB, my octane hostage rest was damaging my fletchings .

I think adhesion is a problem. Ive also refletched a bunch of arrows for some people that were using 5" vanes. And the biscuit tore them up fast. I said to switch to blazers....they havent had a problem since and there groups got better!

 

Would it be difficult for a beginner to refletch arrows?

I know you can buy those quikfletch deals. Its a wrap and fletching in one. NAP makes some and i think a few other companies do too. Basically warm some water up, put the fletch in arrow and dip it into the water.

I got an aae fletch and learned how to do it from youtube and watching others. Got tired of spending sometimes as much as 5$ an arrow to get it refletched.
