Bad wisper biskit?

[merrill hunter]

I have had some arrows made with blazer vanes and as I shoot them they strip off the shaft.
Had them redone and still happens:rant:

the shop guy says it's a bad wisper biskit
it looks like it was cut from the full circle to the 11-9 oclock opening .
everything looks good and other arrows I shoot fly very well.

any help would be great!

Make sure you get straight fletch, not helical.

Make sure your arrow knock is set up so at least one of your fletches travel through the biscuit opening. That will allow the other two fletches to pass through the soft bristles of the biscuit. The black part of the biscuit is stiffer than the brown.
I have heard of fletches coming off from a biscuit before but that has been because the fletchs are set up wrong of the arrow has not been fletched properly.
Also as bigair stated, fletch straight or no more than a 6 degree offset.

my feathers were slowly eaten away by the biscuit I used to use, the vinyl fletch would start to peal at the forward end, I'd put fletch tight on and it would last a little longer. My daughter uses it now on her bow, her feathers are slowly being reduced in size. I quit using it cause I could'nt hold the same groups as I do with a fall away, she uses it cause its a no brainer, I would think about removing it if you shoot much.

when i make up arrows that i know are going throught a biscuit i tip the fletch with some glue i use steel force beyond bond you can shoot one as soon as iam done fletching it. people say you cant but i have won alot of beer bets on that glue i love it now i just wish they would pay me:D i'll take glue or cash

[elvis]

i keep all three arrows in the brown, seems to me that if you put one arrow in the opening it would want to push that way, i dont really know, but thats my guess

i dont have any problems with my setup though

[hungry hunter]

are these the first arrows that it is happening to? was the problem there before you were useing these arrows?

[Michihunter]

Proper way to have your fletch aligned for the Whisker Biscuit is odd fletch UP!! You need to find out if your fletching is making contact with the outer ring somewhere. The high profile of the Blazers makes it critical to have your nock placement darn near perfect. Also, helical fletching will NOT affect you in anyway. But with Blazers it's easier to fletch offset.

Trying to get this straight, the op is talking about a whisper biskit which is is quite different than everybody responding about a whisker biscuit.

ive never heard of a wisper bisciut, i just assumed typo, sorry no help here then

OK here we go. There are two different types of full containment rests with similar names. The CAP product is a Whisker Biscuit. The GKF product is a Whisper Disc. With the cutout the poster described, I assume this is a Whisker Biscuit QS model.

It's a bad fletching job , not a bad WB .;) Sounds like the guy at the shop is trying to cover his behind . Blazer vanes will stay on great if fletched properly using the right glue .
I have been using the WB for 5 years now without any problems what so ever . I fletch my own arrows with super glue gel type adhesive and make sure the shafts are cleaned properly before fletching them .

very true. there is a trick to glueing on blazers. you either can do it or you cant.

[mudslinger]

i have fletched with blazers and never had any problem with my whisker B

[rodboy]

try an other rest, drop away, no contact with arrow..
the only way to go

Pretty lame comment, have you even tried the WB? I have it and I love it. Did you read the previous posts as to what to do to correct the problem? Why bash an item that you know very little if anything about? A drop-away rest is indeed a fine item, but it is not the ONLY item. Some of us WB users happen to enjoy it. I have several deer that don't give a rip if it was a WB or not.

[Banditto]

Well without all the bashing, I have killed too many deer to recall with my whisker biscuit. Ya I had fletchings torn off before but the more you shoot it the better it gets. One thing is once your biscuit is "broken in" I would never replace it. In fact the biscuits are too stiff for my taste so I selectively trim out a few bristles here and there. My arrows shoot straight as an...

I love my whisker bisquit too. I've used other rests for years, but it's easy to tune with and I don't have to worry about making sure my arrow is on when I shoot. One less thing to worry about is priceless. I'm also shooting arrows with white wrapping in the back and blazers. The blazers don't even look worn or wrinkled, let alone seem to be coming off. I'm thinking that whoever glued the vanes on did a poor job. I've had people do stuff for me before that have done a poor job. Now I just have my friend at work do it........Thanks Bryan.;)
