Bow4elk is right, there are a whole bunch of variables and if one is off it could be affecting it. On my daughters bow I trimmed a couple rows right where each vane went through, problem solved. :twocents:

I like simple when it comes to rests , i had a fall away fail and cost me a nice buck last year , i shoot a bisket with four fletch blazers and they fly like darts. make sure that bow papers well . If you wanna fall away let me know I have a pile of them. super doodles shoot good too I still have a couple of them . Coach

There have been plenty of tests on the Whisker Biscuit regarding the loss of speed issue. On average the WB loses only 2-3 fps, which is negligible.

Here's a rule of thumb you need to always remember about archery message boards: If you ask a question about a Mathews you're going to get told to buy a Hoyt or Bowtech (and vise versa). Ask about buying a Ford pick up truck for hunting and you'll be told to buy a Chevy or Dodge. Same thing applies to questions about the Whisker Biscuit. There's never any shortage of guys out there willing to step forward to tell you that unless you use what they do then you're using lesser equipment.

I don't know anything about arrow rests other than wood and leather or bare handed but that damn buck is sweet.

Agreed, but basicly it comes down to useing the right 2" blazer fletchings for the WB, or using a drop away or WB like set up that doesnt have vein contact..... i think everyone that has posted ont his thread can agree on that??

I didn't read every post so someone might have ask this already. Based upon the topic title, I have to ask what the difference between a Whisper biscuit and a Whisker biscuit is. Do you tell secrets to a whisper biscuit?    :chuckle: :chuckle:
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

38fps loss through a  biscuit?  My Turbohawk is 320 IBO and with my hunting arrows was shooting right at 305fps set at 66 pounds draw weight.  I don't buy that.  Many thanks to those taking the time to help me out.

Eric,

You are gonna get your bull at 10 yards and the biscuit won't even be a factor.  ;)
