Whisker bisket slows down arrows

RE: Whisker bisket slows down arrows
How about the fact that they are loud. Pulling the arrow through them is way to loud in my opinion. That, coupled with the speed loss and the bulkiness is the reason I chose to get rid of mine. I believe that if a person would go to a dropaway they would never think about using a WB again.

This has been discussed at length here too, and it has been found that some arrows casue more noise than others. I went from the original WB to a drop away back to the new WB. Not dissapointed!

Honestly, I can't find any reason to not use the WB. Actually I sold my bow that had my drop rest on it, I already had the orginal WB, so all I had to buy to get my new bow shootable, was the new and imporved QS biscuit, not the whole assembly. I also was planning on switching to blazer vanes at the same time, which are great through the WB., so there ya have it. I liked the drop zone, BUT I can't find a fault with the WB. I'm not a competition shooter, which is where I think the drop zone, or other drop rests,would be the best choice.

i use a biscuit and when your talking about speed your right, but the versatility is endless. Its just one less thing to worry about in my oppinion!!

The rest is designed to be shot with the bristles only touching the arrow on the bottom when the bow is drawn. Mine are always setup very loose - you might say sloppy.

It's IMHO the best hunting rest on the market today.

Fast loading , solidhold on arrow for stalking( I know nit spose to walk around with arrow nocked), and durable piece of hunting gear . Accurate enough to hit the sweet spot , and so easy to maintain. Only real serious draw back may be it freezing up in the snow???

As for the dropaway rests, you couldn't pay me to hunt with one. Moving parts, and cords to get caught on branches - way too many possibilities for failure for me to put one on my bow. I'm hauling my bow up trees in the dark, while hunting thick undergrowth. The chances of those things getting hung up is pretty darn high in my situation.
I once put a Muzzy dropaway on my bow. I think it doubled the bow weight. I took it off without even shooting an arrow. Every rest has it's negatives. For me, as a hunter, the WB has the least. Most of the perceived problems are operator error or a need for a slightly different setup. Anyone who chooses to get rid of a rest because it costs them 3 fps, is making a decision I can't even comprehend.

The bigger the helical on the arrow and the more effect they have on speed. In my opinion speed is overated the faster these bows get the harder it is to get your broadheads to fly good especially fixed bades

RE: Whisker bisket slows down arrows
I shoot at Carolina QS WB and love it! I have not shot a drop away but I have to agree with the statement of getting the cord caught on limbs and such when hunting. I have never had any noise or problems with mine and I only lost 2-3 fps, I am also very hard on my hunting equipment and it has held up. I am looking at getting a new Vectrix XL and I will be putting a new WB on it!
