How many use the biscuit?

[Greg Krause]

I don't know how it could be proven, but I've seen it with my father and heard of it from a few others around here. I believe it has more to do with the follow through. It seems to make sense, the arrow is touching the rest on all sides until it fully leaves the bow. If you drop your arm at the shot, it will have more of an impact, pulling the arrow down, then a drop away or two prong. I haven't proven it and I could be wrong. It just seems to fit what i have witnessed.

Not saying your wrong Skip but logically speaking, the opposite should be true. The fixed rest will not absorb any mistake. The bristles of a WB however will. Think of torque as a problem scenario
With a prong rtest, the arrow will follow wherever the prong goes because it is a hard fixed material. With a biscuit, the quick jerk of the hand could result in the arrow actually staying still and running into the bristles therefore allowing the arrow to remain more directed at the target. I'm certainly not saying that this is the case, but that's how it's pictured in my mind.

Got a Biscuit on my back up bow {HC Excaliber} works great

You could be right, I don't have any proof otherwise. It just seemed that way. It's hard to tell when someone else is shooting exactly what is happening. They may not even be on spot at the shot. I love it myself and personally never had a problem with it. I always reasoned with myself that if you drop your arm with a WB the bristles above would pull it down, with a 2 prong there is nothing above to pull it. It would be interesting to see a test, I just don't know how you would go about it. Even if I am right, a real easy fix is to learn proper form and practice it. Either way for a hunting rest, it's bullet proof and tough to beat.

Agreed on all points

I also found that the WB magnifies your form faults. More notably on a persons follow through. With fixed blade broadheads at long ranges (greater than 30 yards) it proved to be the issue for me. Mule deer don't like people getting too close If you think about it some, the WB is in contact with the arrow until it leaves the rest. This gives more time for one's form to create an issue. I believe that practise will correct this, but in the heat of a shot on game, sometimes these things are forgotten. I now have a Trophy Taker Shakey Hunter SL which I am growing more fond of by the day. I do understand that bad form is bad form, but the fall away is more forgiving than the WB IM(humble)O!

Whisker Bisquit.

3D Shoot:
35 (paced out) Yds:
Both 10 Rings are WB.


Duravanes have done well. Bohning Blazers do well.
Just put a bead on the leading edge of the Vane so it does not lift.
Make sure you watch your vanes and if you see any dark markings, adjust your nock turn to make your vanes miss the black bristles.

I converted to the WB after last season and I love it. When we're out practicing, I can nock an arrow, then turn around and talk to my buddy and wave my bow around all over the place and the arrow stays put. I can't wait to see how well it does when I'm shaking like crazy when deer walks out.

I have only had one fletching tear off with mine, but it was after hundreds of shots. My fletchings got more abuse from pass-thru's on the bale of hay we shoot at than they did in the WB.

Try Blazers with the biscuit, great combo

Have been using the original version for 6 years on my 6 year old BT Mighty Mite, i thought it was a gimmick cause of the bristles but for hunting it's the only way 2 go. I am however putting the new version B2 on my BT and moving the old one 2 my backup bow.
