I don't really have the slightest clue on how to spell it... But how many of you guys use it and what are your thoughts about it. I've used one for a long time now and i love it. What are your thoughts?

Hey guy I just started using one about two weeks ago and so far I love it. I had a Capture 360 before and read this carefully. IT SUCK!!!!! It was messing up my shot and my arrows (fletchings) really bad. The dealer I got it from stuck by me and took it back and we put the Whisker Bisket on and has been super ever since. I recommend it to anyone, but keep away from the Capture 360.
PS: the dealer was Sandy Cove Archery his banner is on this site somewhere.

It's really nice for hunting to cause it keeps your arrow from falling off when you need it the most!

The whisker biscuit is a great idea,, but it does have a couple of drawbacks,,alot of times you yourself pulling the bow back wont hear it but the deer can if close enough,, so it does bring a noise effect to it. The other one is when releasing it it is noisier than I like. I would reccomend a drop away like the vital gear, it holds you arrow in place and is 100% noise free.

They are very simple and worry free rest. I have them on my childrens rigs. I used one but me being the techie type just wanted to add something more. I am using the TT drop away this fall. However the biscuit is as accurate as any and pretty much foolproof, I know several people who have shot indoor scores of 300-57-60 x's with one.

I love mine. Get the one with a slot so it is easy to put the arrow in.
They are mayby a bit tougher on fletching.
The key is to use a drop of super glue on the front of each vane.

I also recently went to a whisper biscuit. I've had several arrows tear the vanes, either the vane foot right off the arrow, or the foot stays attached and the vertical vane tears back. These arrows/fletchings are a year old, so I wonder if the vanes are weak to start. I picked up another dozen yesterday to see if there is any difference. Anybody else have similar problems?

You can always try savage vanes from duravanes, They are stiffer and hold up better through the bristles.

The ad for savage vanes from duravanes says that they're stiffer for the biscuit rests, but advertisements say lots of things..
If your giving it your recommendation, I'll give'em a try when I re-fletch. Thanks for the help.

I started using them when they first came out and still use one. They dont slow down your arrow enough to matter and they are as accurate as any other rest for deer hunting imho.
The benefit of moving your bow in any direction without worrying about making noise is a big plus also.
The only draw back ive seen so far is that they make noise when you draw. Its not loud on my bow but if a deer was close i would worry about hearing it.

I refletched my arrows with shorter, stiffer vanes and they fly much fast and they're sturdier now. I love them and they work great in the W.B.

Started using one last year. It was great. Went to the one that has the opening on the side this year. Just as great and you don't have to thread the arrow.

I just put one on mine and have been playing with it. For hunting, I think I will like it for the stability but do think when you draw it's a little noisy. Well at least much louder than I like.
I fletch my own arrows and have never had a problem with the TM hunter style rests but this WB just rips them off. I did a half dozen the other day and only three are still in tact. Refletched four arrows last night with the bohning platinum glue. Will see how that works.
Anbody had any luck or tried the turbo nocks. Been doing some reading and they seem to be a match made in heaven for the WB. Get some awesome spin outta the shoot with them. I did read some complaints about them being brittle but they have changed to a nylon based plastic and they say they are now awesome.
The only two negatives I have heard is someone doesn't like how close the vanes are to his face because of the way he holds his aim. Only heard one complaint on that. The other was they might corkscrew slightly. The work around is slightly nock high set up will have it shooting like a bullet. I might get some of these and try to play with them and never have to refletch again. I'm a pessamist at heart so I have to see it to believe it.

Yeah, I'm noticing as the season progresses and i continue to shoot, my fletching keeps getting tears in it. When i shoot the arrows that have tears, the torn fletching gets caught in the bristles and it throws the arrow all over the place. I'm down to one arrow that doesn't have any tears. Next year i'm switching to a drop-away. Quiter and doesn't tear your arrows...
