Whisker biscuit + bare shaft arrow tuning = ?

[Compounded]

Hi guys and gals,

I have a whisker biscuit and need to do some bare shaft arrow tuning. I'm not sure whether or not the whiskers would correct the arrow flight to some extent since they fully enclose and closely hug the shaft of the arrow. It seems logical to me that any perturbed arrow flight may be corrected (to a moderate extent) since the whiskers are quite stiff when compress down their axis. In fact this is the reason the arrow can be supported in the central aperture (They are less resistive to the flexural stress from the vanes passing through them, hence they won't disrupt the arrow flight due fletching clearance issues).

Anyone have experience with whisker biscuits and tuning?

Thanks!

A whisker biscuit is nothing but a arrow rest, a full capture arrow rest. It is undoubtedly a very good hunter arrow rest. The shop I work at has sold a bunch of them and I've set up a bunch of them. You set it as you would any other arrow rest, up, down or side to side. You can adjust them to shoot bullet holes through paper, whether bare shaft or fletched arrow. There are two kinds of bristles. The black in the bottom are stiffer to support the arrow. The brown bristles, softer, permit the vanes to pass through without undue disruption. Of course, the arrow is shot cock vane up. The hole in the center should not be overly snug. If it is you have the wrong size biscuit - large, medium and small are available.

Of personal note, I have no use for the Whisker Biscuit. Even though they get the job done I just don't like them.
