I'm looking for a whisker biscuit for my sons bow. He is shooting carbon arrows. Where is the cheapest place to buy one and does anyone have one for a right handed bow they would like to sell?
-
Walmart often carries them...but not here in Lacey...
ps- thats the last 3 rests Ive used and my wife has it on her bow too. I have the utmost faith in it!
Also, the original works fine...dont pay 10-15$ extra for the drop in versions!
-
Thanks, I'll check there :)
-
Make sure you get the the right sized Whisker Biscuit for the diameter of your bow as they make different hole sizes for the different types of arrows

My walmart only carries archery/hunting supplies in the fall...and clearances them off in december.
I scored two of the Whisker Biscuit QS (drop-in ones) for $11 each a couple years ago...don't recall what they are retail.
If you shoot a lot of broadheads, definitely get the one with the slot in it so you can drop in the arrows...feeding razor sharp broadheads through the bristles wears them out quick.
That being said...I love them and don't see any reason to change to anything else. No noticeable affect in arrow speed, and accuracy improved some over my previous rest. It's a good choice for a hunter!

Hmmm,
I shoot nothing but broadheads... I dont even own any practice tips... I just sneak mine in backwards...works for me??
As for the size, its not really a factor any more, most carbon arrows now have the same or similar diameter as aluminum arrows... unless ur shooting a strange arrow thats skinny like they used to be 5 or so years ago.
any way,
best thing about the WB??? all ya gotta do is buy a 12$ center shot tool and you can tune ur bow at home without ever firing a shot in 3 minutes...
Once ya got center line perfect...Ya just use the bolt hole for the rest to check up and down (with an arrow on the rest) and then use the frame of the WB to make sure its parallel with the riser of the bow.
Combine that with always shooting braodheads and the moment of truth will go well!!

Well if you still shoot Aluminum say 2375's and purchase the smaller hole sized Whisker Biscuit ones made for carbons there is more drag. Been there done that

LOL, honestly never though about putting 'em in backwards.
I'm a moron. Guess I needed a reminder! :P

I love my biscut. I have tried all the models and if money is no object go for the new one. The drop in g2 is awesome.
