Hey there fellow bow hunters, I am looking to update my arrow rest and considering a whisker biscuit. What do you all think of them?
I currently have a nap quicktune 800. Im also
considering a quicktune 1000 pro. All opinions
welcome. Maybe I'll see some of you fellas in the late hunt.
Take Care

I would buy a trophy taker fallaway rest. The best thing I've used. I've talked with a few people that have used the whisker biscuit rests and they seemed to like them. Either way you will be happy.

I have the whisker on my martin and I am impressed. I have harvested 6 deer and an elk using it.

Some important points if you are going to use the whisker. (these are from my personal trial and errors)

1) Use an arrow with a smooth finish. If you don't they tend to be noisy. I used to use carbon express arrows but the finish was still too noisy. I have switched to Beman Hunters and the finish is smoother and more glossy, Much quieter

2) Don't use feather fletches. Only use plastic flecthes. Use the stiffer plastic fletches like bohning, cause the softer fletches will warp with shots, while the stiffer won't. Also certain colors of bohning are softer than others (dyeing process) The white bohning seems too soft. I use the green, red or chart green, chart red. Put an extra drop of glue on the leading edge of the fletching.

3) Don't put a major helical through the biscuit. Shoot the minor offset helical or straight

4) If your bow is pretty quick, you have to tune one side, by trimming it. They used to have directions on the CAP website.

5) After a while the biscuit will soften and eventually wear out. I rotate it 180. After that replace it.

6) Make sure your arrow fits well in the rest. You don't want it tight on the arrow, but tight enough so the arrow shaft has no play.

I know it sounds like a lot of rules but this is from all my trial and errors. If you follow them you will love the biscuit. You can pull back your bow at any angle (even lying down) You can pull it back quickly and find the target. And not worry about your arrow clanging off the rest. Awesome in a tree stand and still hunting. beer
