whisker biscuits


Recommended Posts

Undisputable fact. A whisker Biscuit will slow your arrow from 3 to 9 feet per second. The chances of not getting a kill due to this loss is small. The chances of you botching a kill because your arrow fell off the rest during the excitement of the hunt however..........

My friend has one and he likes it, I went with the Trophy Taker fallaway rest and have never had a arrow fall of it. If you are looking for rests I would look into one of these. I personally don't like the idea of the friction caused by the biskit, but like I said, my buddy likes his.

I have heard of guys putting a little extra glue on the very front of the fletch to keep the fletch from snagging on the rest. My brother-in-law has one and likes it. It would be nice having something that the arrow cannot fall off of...but my bow is shooting so good with my Bodoodle that I won't switch.

i wont go to anything else as of right now, or maybe for a LLLOOOOOOOONNNNGGGGGGG time, i love my biscut. its may slow the arrow, but like one other post said. is it better to lose a few fps or your arrow fall off your rest? i also have had no problem loosing fletchings on mine. the nice thing i they arent that loud. i heard louder rests, but ive hear quieter

this is just my 2 cents

Love my biscuit. Had it 3 seasons now with an 8 pt., 9 pt., and 10 pt. to show at ranges from 12 to 35 yards. The advice about an extra drop of fletching glue ahead of the vanes is the key to not peeling off your vanes. I'll never go back to old fashoned mechanical rests.

I like my whisker biscuit as well. This year I changed to the drop in biscuit. I did have a problem with the fletching but had them redone and moved just a bit further back on the arrow and now it is just fine.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
