Rests and Fletchings
« on: February 23, 2012, 10:58:31 AM »
I use a whisker biscuit rest and until now I have been using easton carbon storm arrows with 3 long plastic fletchings, shooting odd fletch up so that all three fletchings pass through the biscuit and don't go through the gap in the rest.  I was recently told that the 4 fletch arrows were "designed to be used with a whisker biscuit".  It seems odd to me, because with a 4 fletch one feather will pass through the rest untouched through the gap and the other 3 will have to pass through the fibers of the rest.  I don't know if that is enough to change the flight of the arrow or not.  Does anyone have any experience with this?
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

The four fletch arrow will stabilize faster but i never liked it through the wisker bisket. If you turn the nock you can make it to where the all miss the stiff hairs on the bottom or black hairs. I went to the qad rest and would never go back to a wisker bisket.

I shoot 4-2" fletch pattern on all my compound arrows. Have for years and always will. You will have no problems running them threw the WB! I get a lot more stable arrow with a fat broadhead on it with a 4 fletch pattern over the 2. I also crank my jig to give me the most amount of offset possible. Like said just turn your nock and none of them will touch the lower whiskers :tup:
