i've used both with equal luck. use the drop tine (one with the notch)for feathers, when you are loading broadheads

The best fletch I have use in the WB are the Bohning blazer vanes. Feathers do work well hovever.

I only shot vanes through my biscuit when I had it. They worked just fine. The only thing about the biscuit (and this is what made me change to a fall away) is the hard wear and tear on the fletchings. Other than that, the biscuit is a great hunting rest.

this has been pretty much eliminated with the B2 biscuit. i have had literally thousands of arrows through mine and all of them are just as good as new.

Ditto.

A properly set up WB does no damage to fletchings of any kind. If your vanes are getting abused the rig is not tuned.
