Whisker Biscuit users, opinions needed.

[Destroyer]

I'd like to hear anyone's opinion on the Biscuit, what they thought, how long it has lasted, noise, best vanes used, etc.

I just bought one of these things after years of looking and wondering if they would be any good. So far I'm very impressed with the result. 'Simplicity' on a hunting bow is what I am after, drop rests have been giving me the sh*ts lately, just more complication than is needed.

LOL, just answered you question in my thread, so let me sum up: Biscuit gets a thumbs up from me!

Sorry for asking it twice in just a few minutes.

I love the biscuit. I know it drops a couple fps off my speed, but there's no moving parts to fail, it's consistent, and easy to tune. I haven't joined any clubs or anything, so I don't compete; I got into archery to hunt and it's a hunter's rest.

It has contact with the arrow all the way through, so if your form and especially your follow through isn't good, then you will have erratic groups. I learned with a biscuit, so it's not a big deal to me.

I can get 2-3" groups or better at 40 yds, and the only thing I suggest is to change the insert (bristles) every once in a while. I shoot about once a week, more when hunting season is close. So I change mine about once a year.

Only lost a couple of fps too, quite surprised.

well i dont have a biscuit rest but the old prong serves me well i guess its hard to relate that my rest is older then me , but alas lol!!!!!!!! old things werk good sometimes , my guess is that from what i have heard that u have to replace the brisket often to keep accuracy up , i guess like everything else they wear out GOOD LUC GOOD SHOOTING AND MOST OF ALL FERGOT LOL !!!!!!!!!

In my opinion they are pretty much a no brainer for a hunting bow. I love 'em. I have one on all my hunting bows and have NEVER had to replace anything. In Ohio we have to remember to treat them for the elements of Winter by spraying waterproofing into the bristles. I feel the 4" vanes work best for me. You will bugger up some vanes on your practice arrows but I have learned to live w/ that. The Biscuit is worth it!

I had on a pos, um a pse, sold the bow. Had a drop and the old prong style, went back the the biscut on the Rytera. Love it, plenty of arrows through it. They don't need to be changed neer as often as the 360's with the brush's in them. I wouldn't use anything else. Any style of fletch works. 4",blazers and 3" dura's all have gone through mine. Noise? What noise.

I will not deny that the Whisker Biscuit is a good hunter rest. However, one will not go on any of my bows.

x2,i would like the NAP 360.the loss of fps from a biscuit is not worth it to me.

[Speedykills]

Ive used them before with great success,but it didnt take long to switch to dropaway,now i use code red,both of best worlds.
For me after 30yds the biscuit isnt as accurate as my code red,i shoot out to 70yds,night and day in accuracy for me as the biscuit i couldnt hit the x for the life of me.I doubt ill ever go back to biscuits and gravy............................

I have a biscuit on my bow and it is the only type of rest I have ever shot. So far... I don't dislike the rest, I just dislike the idea of having to buy a new biscuit every year or so. I know parts break and get worn out, but to have to make regular replacement a necessity...
