To Biscuit or not to Biscuit? That is the question.

biscuit!

/>I shot a WB for years, and just loved it. I tinker, so I cut away some of the whiskers where my fletching went through, and pretty much just left it thick at the bottom. Enough up top for containment. I've never been into FPS as much as accuracy, so I never gave a second thought to 8 or 10 FPS lost. It was just a "no brainer" with full containment, consistent draw and release, good accuracy, no moving parts, what's not to love?

 

However, when I bought my last bow, I had it set up with a QAD Ultra Pro HD drop away - and I have to say I'm a convert. With my trusty old Wisker Biscuit I had some tuning issues and had a really hard time getting broadheads and field points to hit together. I never really liked the full contact approach, but it didn't bother me much either. But switching to the QAD, my groups shrunk immediately, tuning issues were literally non-existent.

 

To be fair, I switched bows when I switched rests, but my old bow was a Bowtech Allegiance, which is generally a pretty easy bow to tune, but I had a VERY hard time not only getting broadheads to hit with field points, but getting two brands of "top-of-the-line" broadheads to hit together consistently. I destroyed a couple targets and countless broadheads trying to get to that "sweet spot" where everything just works. For me, it never did.

 

Then I got a Hoyt CRX 35 with a QAD drop away and some Easton ACC pro hunters - groups were cut in half, I can shoot any broadhead I want - Muzzy, Slick Trick, Magnus Stingers and Buzzcut, G5 Montec or Strikers, and everything just flies together. I've actually had two fletchings cut off one arrow by the second and third arrow, all with different broadheads at 30 yards.

 

Don't get me wrong, I loved the Wisker Biscuit for a LONG time and had nothing but great things to say, until I started shooting a QAD drop away, and realized things just got a whole lot easier all on their own.

its because you got a hoyt, not the drop away. I shoot crx 32!

You might be right. I've shot PSE, Mathews, Bowtech and now Hoyt and I finally have a setup that just flat-out works for me. Could be the bow, could be the rest, could be the arrows, or the sight, or the release - or more likely it's just a bunch of parts that work well together. Not meaning to derail the thread into this bow or that. The Wisker Biscuit is a great rest, and it works very well for a lot of people - and I was one of them for a long time.

 

I happen to like the way my new setup shoots better than my old one. I still have full containment on a stalk and zero arrow/fletching contact during the shot. Would I stick a WB on one of my bows, or my sons' bows and be able to count on it? Absolutely, but it isn't my first choice either.

i shoot a drop away and my arrows never clink around or fall off. if the rest is in the up position its not falling off. yes a biscuit holds better and stiffer but ive never had a problem with stalking an animal with my drop away but that's just my opinion again. you can still make a quiet stalk with a drop away.

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

I think you might have something wrong with your brain. Why are you trying to be all cyberbully on me. Do you really think anyone cares about you. You talk to people like they are trash. Why would you want to come off like that. Does it make you feel tough? Are you trying to make up for having a small smelly d**k? You need to see a shrink. Have fun going through life wondering why people don't like you. I'll give you a hint though, you try to make others feel like ****. But you have failed on me. I know what you are. See, the thing is, I'm a nice guy. You on the other hand can't control your stupidity. You really don't even realize that you are a jerk ,do you? When your older maybe you can look back on times like this and see that you where unnecessarily rude to people you don't know. Right now you think you are being cleaver and it is just a fun time. Keep treating people like you do and see where you end up. You can not compete with my intellect so I warn you to give up before you embarrass yourself further..

Really!!!

 

This was a decent thread so much for that. PM each other so you don't look like fools to the entire community. Thanks!

I must have missed something . . .

+1 I just tuned my CRX32 for broadheads. All I had to do was put broadheads on my arrows, nock them, pull back, and release.

 

I shoot a full containment drop away and have been very happy with it. If I didn't have the $ for a drop away I would shoot a WB. If I had done that years ago when I had a 19A antelope tag there is a very good chance that a B&C bucket would be hanging on my wall and there wouldn't be pieces of an old Motorola Talkabout DPS scattered all over Yavapai county . . .

I must of missed something?? I'm really not sure what their arguing about?

[rageinthesage]

I think the post they are arguing about got deleted.

I myself have two bows, WB on one, limb driver on the other, for me the WB is excellent and accurate at long ranges. All my previous hunting bows I have always shot and been very successful with fallaway rests, trophy ridge pronghorn and my favorite rest called the cavalier avalanche but unfortunately does not fit my short brace height bow.

[muledeerarea33?]

I figured it was a deleted comment or something, wasn't sure. My now has a drop away. I'm not an archery guru so what I have works for me. I used to archery hunt alot but the past few years I switched to copper,lead, and powder.

The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well? it didn't really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a ...bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective? Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us normal people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are challenged persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been 'right'. Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you, especially in your pursuit of fictitious deer that you like to post here.

 

 

 

but lettuce beef real tea, PM me your username so i can rep you when i get back from banned camp (10k) (srs) umirin?

 

edit: sorry for thread derail. as far as the biscuit i like it because i usually walk with the bow upside down in my hand. put the arrow in, set it and forget it.
