I'm shooting Gold Tip Velocity Hunter 400s I want to shoot a whisker biscuit for hunting (I know it tears up vanes and slows down arrows) anyways the back of the package makes absolutely no sense trying to find out which size biscuit to use could someone please help
I think I might ask my pro shop if I had that question. I cannot help you out otherwise, sorry. Or you could try calling the manufacture.
I wish I could help but I do not and will not use one. Is there a reason you want to use a biscuit? Besides the reduction of speed and messing up your vanes there is the noise factor. Have you looked at a drop away rest?
Ok well I just looked at you signature and it says you have a Quad rest. Are you going from a Quad to a biscuit?
I believe you need the medium. it says it fits Standard internal component arrow. Easton,gt,cx,beman,victory. I use to use the whisker but I started using nap quiktune it holds my arrows with out falling.
medium is what I was thinking too thanks guys - no I'm not switching from qad this is for my backup bow
I have used the WB since they were a new product. I have NEVER had a vane damaged and the reduction of speed is negligible. Mine have NEVER made noise either. I use carbon arrows with them and the vanes that come on the arrows and have had great luck. It is such a simple and effective rest. Good luck.
OK....can't we all just agree that some people like the Whisker Biscuit? I have always used one, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like a drop-away better....it's just what I use and like it. Speed loss: I have read that the WB only drops your speed 1-3 fps, but it could be more (understandable). I'll suggest that the only way to prove it would be to use a chrono on your own rig and with the same arrows, etc. My bow is plenty fast enough, so who cares. Damage to vanes: I will readily agree that they can eat up some types of vanes, but I switched to 3-inch Fusions and have absolutely zero issues with wrinkled vanes or ANY kind of damage to my vanes or WB. Make sure all of your nocks align the the vanes correctly (no vanes passing through the black area of the WB). Noise: OK, they do make more noise as they pass through the WB....hasn't been an issue for me. Also, most arrows make noise as you draw them through the WB, and I'll admit that is kind of annoying. This can be 100% eliminated by simply putting a cotton ball in your pocket and placing the tiniest bit of cotton on the black part of the WB. All noise eliminated, and it's gone when you shoot. Ideal? No, but there is no more noise.....none. The WB is idiot-proof once set up correctly. This idiot loves the fact that there are no moving parts, and that they hold my arrow securely no matter how I'm leaning in the treestand to shoot. They have improved this product considerably, and I think its a great adition to any hunting rig. I would hope that we hunt because we love to hunt, and not to compare who has the best-looking clothes, gear, whatever. Good luck to all this season!
what you read about speed loss may be an opinion, because if your shooting 4 inch or 2 inch or feathers or any other type of flethching the speed loss is going to be different, also if you shoot a slow bow in the first place then the speed loss my be very high. i do agree that wb`s dont do too much damage to vanes but that also could be varied depending on what type of vane. they do make some noise but if you shoot a fast enough bow then this really dosnt matter because if the deer hears the noise it will alredy be shot. idiots shouldnt be shooting...fact. good luck to u aswell.
I shoot with a WB and have had no problems what so ever. No vane damage at all so far and very quiet. I love the full capture of the arrow that it gives. One less thing I have to worry about when staring down at a monster buck. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2
