Adams:Remove the biscuit from the windage bar. Lay sissors flat on the bowstring side of the biscuit and lift and snip 4-5 bristles at a time working evenly around the circumfrence of the biscuit till you can look at the biscuit edgewise and the bowstring side of the biscuit is flat. On a tuned bow the biscuit loses less than 1% of the arrowspeed with 4" straight fletch. A trimmed biscuit will lose about 1/2% of the arrowspeed with 4" straight fletch. Good luck hunting!

Though I was laughly loudly after reading the first few posts I am glad someone gave him good instructions...
I don't use the whisker biscuit personally but have set many of them up for customers. Chris (5shot) might though. I do know that "JoePA" uses one on his bows but am unsure whether or not he trims it. I think the instructions given were very good.

RE: Have you trimmed your biscuit?
i was at an archery shop before i purchased my first bow and the owner was telling me i should get a biscuit installed. He demonstrated one by placing an arrow in it and turning it towards the ground to show how easy the arrow goes through it....When i do this with mine, the arrow always stops with the fletching getting stuck in the bristles.....if you trim one will it pass through it that easy???
