How many use the biscuit?

[~Messiah~]

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.

But can you do it quietly?

WB is truely a fine rest and a very simple rest

The best of both worlds.

I like the biscuit for a few reasons.. seen fellows whos bows are to hard to pull back have the arrow fall off the rest. Or in the excitement of a stalk lose it off and see it clatter to the ground.its very dependable and pretty smooth. I however have to disagree with the noise. I shot it and never heard anything,,but I have a new vital gear drop away thats it will hold the arrow until drawn full back. That said, the noise my brother in law who lives next door shot one for 2 years.Being right beside him I could hear the carbon sliding through the whiskers,, he didnt believe me.so I started drawing his bow and letting him hear it. Would this make a difference with a deer ?? I dont know. I like quiet and believe a quiet bow is the ultimate weapon!! I used to hunt in a place called Lano Texas where there were super deer,any noise at all they would hit the hwy.when I say any noise I mean one time my wrist popped and they hauled butt. I do think that the bisquit is great for starters and kids. But thats just my view, it dont make it the right one ;D

Timhicks- Easy fix to the sound you experienced. Some arrows (especially camo)have a rough texture to them and will indeed make a noise on draw. Take some 100 grit sandpaper or 000 steel wool and smooth the shaft and you'll never hear the problem again.

i modified my biscuit after i ran into problems of it making my vanes wavy after a few shots. i put the arrow on the string,looked down the shaft to the biscuit,then with a sharpie,i marked out the areas on both sides of the three vanes.i then pulled the biscuit off the bow an used a razor blade to cut out the bristles in the areas where the vanes pass thru.the ned result is a "clean" pass thru off the arrow with wut i believe to be zero vane contact.i had a picture of it on photobucket,but its not there now.if anyone is interested in seeing mine,ill try to take another pic an post it.it sure did cure the "wavy vane" syndrome i had experienced.

The wb is a shaky hunters dream,don't matter what you do the arrow won't fall off the rest(I should know I just dropped my bow 20ft out of a tree,broke me carbon arrow "but"the last 8"of the arrow remained attached and still cradled in the rest)

I just rotated the nock a bit so none of the vanes go through the Black center bristles. The Inverse of using a prong rest. Bead of Goat Tuff on leading edge and no pulled vanes either.

Great rest.

I tried the WB QS and didnt care for it made my vanes all black n ugly. But for a beginner I would highly recomend it.
