The whisker biscuit is a great rest. You love them or you hate them. It will slow your arrow some but you won't even notice it. (unless shooting comp.) After time it will do a number on your vanes. Is is a great rest if you have a problem losing you arrow off the rest.I shoot a capture 360 and I love it same idea less friction. So unless your are shooting comp. try it you might like it.

I've shot one for I think four years now. I have shot feathers since back in the days of instinctive shooting. So when i got the wb,I stuck with feathers. To be honest with you the only pros I've found are: 1) arrow will never fall off the rest! 2) It hasn't ruined my feathers Cons 1) they wear and the rest goes from circle to oblonged. Even when it is set right. Too much contact. 2) They do make a little bit of noise on the draw 3)When realeased in damp or wet weather seems like there is more drag on the shaft. I've never had a deer jump out of skin at the draw or release though. I'm just someone who looks at it like this. If it aint broke don't fix it. It has been good too me. But I'm also due for something different. I did buy a ripcord rest and I am gonna try it with feathers! Sometimes a change is good who knows.

I use the wb because it simple i dont like moving parts on my bow but does wear down the flecthing but i dont have any problems shooting past 40 yrds with it and i get good groups with the wb the why i look at what ever the person feels what is the best for him or her to use as a rest.

I'll agree with willfish2 that it's murder on feathers. One summer of shooting in the yard will eliminate nearly all the feather on each arrow requiring refletching. Feathers do fly better through them than vanes if it's below freezing. If you use vanes it's great in warm weather. The vanes get stiff enough to throw off an arrow when it's below freezing when shot through a WB. It was cold enough this year that I couldn't use my arrows with vanes. I had to use feathered ones, or use my backup bow without a WB on it. My feathered arrows all need re-feathered now. For shooting at a near vertical angle (like below your stand) a WB will keep the arrow in place quite well.

I use a WB on my bow, and I really like it. It keeps the arrow in place and doesn't affect the drawing of the arrow. Drop-aways are really nice, a lot of people use those also. I think it's just a matter of choice, if you have a bow-shop close by have them set it up on your bow and try it out, then try the drop away. Either one would be fine, I think you would be satisfied with a WB, but it is a matter of choice..

I have shot W. Bisquets for years. I have never had a problem once I spray them with camp dry, when dry spray with scent a way. I shoot real feathers threw my bisquet and have no problems.

i can post a video of trying to draw back on a bear with a pse tm huntes rest, you will see the arrow fall off the rest when i draw back, i had to draw again, luckily the bear gave me another chance. i had shot the rest for years, but under pressure ( the bear was real big and real close) the arrow fell off. i shoot a wb on my new bow now for that reason. so does my wife. she tried it firse and liked it

Ive had my WB for two years now and the only thing i recommend is stronger reliable vanes....other than that my arrow flight is very fasst and smooth...and my bow is very quiet when i draw back. My uncle has used one on his matthews switchback xp for several years and had it on his older bow since they came out and loves them. Hope this helps!

I use them, I sell them and I recommend them. I have shot the QAD and had full arow contact and much of a head ache, thatk goodness prior to hunting season. I have used the rip cord, but I feel more secure with something that doesn't move. I took 5 deer over the last 2 season's with the WB.

I HATE them. ruined all my arrows when i tried one. now i shoot an alpine archery whisperflight matchgrade fall away. (wow, that was a mouth full) But a friend shoots a biskit whit great success.will give them some credit though, the are easy to tune, and you cant drop your arrow, but mine also didnt seem to stay tight on my bow.
