slopoke36 Report post Posted July 8, 2010 Can someone please confirm for me the proper way to nock an arrow in a Whisker biscuit? I have heard that the vein fletching needs to be in the 12 0'clock position as you hold the bow vertical (or shooting position) and I have heard that the vein needs to be in the 9 o'clock position as you hold the bow vertical (or shooting position) and the package says just make sure none of the fletching pass through the black portion of the whisker biscuit. At this point in my bowhunting career I don’t feel comfortable about using a drop away rest, just yet. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowhuntaz1 Report post Posted July 8, 2010 I was told by the guy who installed it on my bow, that it does not matter where the fletchings are... I am thinking about going back to a drop away rest so I can try out the FOBS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badred6 Report post Posted July 8, 2010 I was told not to place a vain fletching in the black area. So I have one in the 12 o'clock position, and the others are above the black. The reason be is that after shooting for sometime, the whiskers become, how dow do I say it....less strong, (cant find the word to describe right now). After shooting though the black your arrow might sink into the whiskers, and the black whiskers are there to hold your arrow in place. Just what I was told when I bought mine.

lucky2hunt Report post Posted July 8, 2010 I think the most important thing is to place it the same way every time. Archery is all about consistancy... Mine is at 12:00 as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wackycouesaddict Report post Posted July 8, 2010 As long as none of the vanes pass threw the black your fine. The black part of the rest is made of a stronger "wisker" to help prolong it from wearing down. Tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is where 99.9 percent archers fail at what they do because they try to much differnt things consistency is key to archery. Great advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slopoke36 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 The funny thing is I sighted in my bow and then thought about the fletching issue after words and was worried about it all day. But you guys cleared that issue up and needless to say I was good to go. None of the fletchings are passing through the danger zones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
