Post by: Pathfinder101 on March 28, 2009, 10:50:07 PM: I have one on both my bows. I like that I can knock an arrow and don't have to worry about it falling off the rest. Had a buddy that missed an elk a couple of years ago 'cause the arrow came off when he was drawing at an awkward angle...

You won't have any problem with the whisker biscuit and your fletchings if you shoot your arrows with blazer vanes. The standard 4" vanes will get a wavy look to them.

Post by: @RCHER on March 30, 2009, 12:00:41 PM: Also consider the Octane Hostage Pro. Just like the WBiscuit but without the vane contact. I like them both.

Post by: huntnphool on March 30, 2009, 08:48:29 PM: I trimmed my daughters WB where the vanes hit, no more issue.

Post by: Sneaky on March 30, 2009, 09:32:26 PM: I love mine. Theres a video on youtube of a guy with a fred bear bow shooting groups with one at 100 yards so it must not effect your accuracy that much ;p

Post by: 300rum on March 30, 2009, 09:36:23 PM: I shoot one. Mainly because I don't want my arrow to fall off the rest. As far as tearing up fletching goes, I put a drop of glue on the leading edge of the fletching and it helps. I don't care too much about losing a little speed.
