That's almost an oxymoron isn't it???[8D]

Never heard of a WB experiencing "catastrophic failure", they are normally rock solid rest... For hunting, I've used one for years without incident...

Personally, I'd just buy another biscuit and call it good...

used one for 6 yrs without a malfunction,the only reason I went to a DROPZONEwas to shoot FOB's,other then that I would still be useing the WB,if I get a backup compound I will put the WB on it.....I only gained 1-2 fps going to a dropaway and that was taken thru my chrono.....

I'd think a drop away with all those moving parts is going to be a lot more susceptable to a "catastrophic failure" than a biscuit. Call them up and they'll probably send you a new insert for free then put some blue Loc-Tite on the screws when you put it in and forget about it.

Okieboy,

That is really strange and definitely NOT the norm. Whisker Biscuits as usually very reliable, to a fault almost. Obviously something was not right. Was it possible the plastic shroud was cracked where the two retaining screws hold it in? I remember one time a few years back I over tightened one and it cracked the plastic. That still doesn't account for the actual biscuit falling out. I suspect the retaining screws were loose. The two flush Allen head screws in the back hold the biscuit to it's aluminum base while the two tapered Allen head screws in the front hold on the plastic trim ring. Both put force against each other to form a pretty sturdy platform to shoot from.

If any of them are loose....very loose, I can see something like this happening, However it's highly unlikely. I suspect something else is at play here.
