I’ve used Whisker Biscuit rests on 3 Mathews and 2 Bowtech bows over past 10 years. Tight groups 20-70 yards consistently. This test showed 226,227,227 FPS so WB more consistent than drop away rest with 5 FPS variance. Something to think about. PSE and Maxima arrows work perfect with my WB rests.
@stevehall41302 жыл бұрын
Years ago, we ran the same test. Difference was 1fps based on average. Biscuits are a great rest given solid shooting form. Shot 297 Vegas with one once. At distance, I’ve found drop away slightly and I mean slightly more forgiving. That’s at 60 yards and beyond. Back in the 2000’s my group harvested 7 Booners all shooting Biscuits, so there’s that too. Definitely a set it and forget it rest! A lot of hate for Biscuits out there, and unwarranted for certain.

For hunting I think WB is king. Nothing mechanical can go wrong while on a hunt unlike a drop-away. I currently have a Hoyt and a Mathews, Hoyt had WB and Mathews has the integrate drop away. I’ve shot both for years, accuracy is the same and I’ve seen multiple tests showing only 1-2fps difference. At this point I think it’s more of an ego thing. Drop aways are the new tech/trend and people just want to flex them. If I had only one style rest to shoot rest of my life or to take on a LONG hunting trip it would be a WB all day. Does the same job and arguably just as efficient for a fraction of the price and is more durable. I still have a WB from 2014 that still shoots like it did new

The cord on the fall away rest has mass and aerodynamic drag, which mostly offsets any gains realized by removing the frictional losses from the biscuit. The upside is your arrow is held in place noise-free, ready to shoot while you're stalking.

Back to a whisker biscuit. Been through the break downs and headaches of drop aways. Good ones too. Important to remember: There are 3 or 4 sizes of whisker biscuit. There should be around .03 inches above the arrow for space when knocked, from arrow shaft to top of biscuit when the arrow is resting on the bottom. Don't expect your best precision if you are shooting a 6mm arrow and a large Biscuit. The gap will be huge. 6 mm should use a small.

As a whitetail hunter I prefer a whisker biscuit.... because if the weather is cold enough a fall away can lock up.... the tech at my local bow shop told me that this has happened to multiple people he knows. A whisker biscuit is fail-proof and a more reliable rest. Also being up close and personal with white tails a whisker biscuit makes zero noise both on the draw or release. One more key is that its very difficult for your arrow to fall out of it once inside Just make sure you store your bow inside of your house because humidity can negatively affect a whisker biscuit

Limb dampeners, string silencers, peeps etc all affect arrow velocity about the same. One or two fps for each item added. That's probably why your speed results are so far away from the manufacturer. Whisker biscuit, limb dampeners, string silencers and peeps add up to about four to six fps, maybe even 8 fps total, depending on the bow. You're frequently 8 to 10 fps lower than the bow manufacturer rating so it makes sense. Good assessment by the way. Whisker biscuit or hostage rests are the only ones I use as they don't have moving parts so can't fail.

The only thing you want to come in contact with the bristles is the arrows at full draw . Once the arrow is moving forward the arrow shouldn't come in contact with the bristles at all if your are in good tune and the fletching are free to pass through without making contact with the bristles . If you don't want to cut away the bristles they make a whisker biscuit that has a 3 piece bristle configuration .

Splitting hairs. You are theoretically pulling against a backwall. Therefore you are only theoretically thinking about the stretch or elasticity in the string. Considering each strand is equivalent to ~300lbs tensile strength fishing line. At 18-24 strands on average you have a combined of 6,000 lbs of tensile strength. I'm not saying it won't make a difference or that the string doesn't stretch, but what I am saying is that the precision of his chronograph wouldn't be able to accurately show the decimal differences of how much affect a human can stretch a bow string. Just my opinion though.

There are always going to be way to many variables that you can bring up and that would result in different results if performed by another person. Meaning different D-loop material (could absorb energy especially when pulling into the backwall), string material used, # of strands in the string bundle, were they pre stretched when created, how old are the strings, coefficient of fraction between the arrow surface and the rest contact point, nock release strength from string, forward pressure or sprung energy exerted by grip upon release of arrow (if its rubber or soft in any way it will compress and then decompress away from hand and toward the target), sprung force from the meat or skin on the palm of your hand... you could continue to dissect ever thing. Which is fine. But understanding at what point will this actually make any difference in performance might help. I plan on starting a channel soon.

Thanks for doing this test, now I don't have to. BTW, I love my WB for simplicity sakes.

thanks MFJJ the same guy commented the same BS on my tictok. i got another one for you that ive heard and never tested. " a bow will break in strings and after the first 250-350 shots will actually gain 5-7 FPS after the break-in period." next time you get a test bow into the shop dyno it raw and after 500 shots to compare the performance. ill bet there is a slight increase.

I’m interested to dive into the bigger standard deviation with the fall away. Both times there was roughly 5 FPS variance from fastest to slowest. I wonder if that would change with the fall away string tied in properly? Maybe the vanes are slightly further back on on arrow that gives complete clearance from the fall away versus the others just touching? Spitballing here, could spine have anything to do with it? Could the faster arrows spine be better aligned with the string so more energy is being put into forward momentum versus bending the arrow (which might make the other two slower). Perhaps the whisker biscuit reduces that bending of the arrow giving a tighter group?

I think just having had the bow in the vice and taking the tension off affected the speed and consistency. Might be better to shoot 10 arrows through it to settle the string out before taking your 3 shot average.

Thanks for putting that to rest, No pun intended . I had always heard there was a difference of 6 - 10 fps.. So why Fall Away ? Is it more accurate than Whisker biscuit? Maybe that's next video

Hey MFJJ! What's the best way to set up a string stop? Not touching, just touching? Thanks.

I am adding another comment with my info. I have a Mathers V3X 29 27" draw I use a lab radar. With the same 360 grain arrow weight I bought the bow with a whisker bisket. With mod 60 LBS 85 let off I got 285 FPS Changed to mod 65 LBS 80 let off I got 295 FPS last. Added the QAD drop away rest. 65 LBS 80 let off. Same draw length. I got 295/294. In this test I lost nothing from my end. I really thought I would gain something. So far just a bit quieter.

Some people are saying the new pro v whisker biscuit is faster than a drop away might have to test it for my self

Josh do you think there’s any difference in accuracy between the two? I’ve always used a biscuit just because of the simplicity and less chance of a mechanical failure. What are your thoughts?
@landonfogle59032 жыл бұрын
Drop down is more accurate

I have used both for several years and the accuracy is difference is very minimal. My groups are slightly closer with a limb driven rest. I tested it many time to know for sure. I ended up switching everything to a whisker biscuit because it was that minimal of a difference and less moving parts. This is from a guy that I was totally against using one until I did my own testing and didn't listen to peoples opinion.

I feel like fall away rests are more of a target archery thing because out in the field, I want the least amount of points of failure possible, so biscuit all the way.

Thanks for this. Next time do a lot more shots and just speed it up the sample size is really kind of tiny for a test. One thing that jumped out at me was the consistency of the wb compared to drop away but there was not enough shots to really see if more variance would have shown up. Anyways I like to see this kind of content

I might be a lil crazy. I would shoot same arrow 3 times. Thanks for the videos. I just started in archery for almost a month. Already kicking myself for getting a elite basin. I wanted to get a better bow @50lbs. Then I would have purchased new heavier limbs. I was told that’s crazy. I probably would have went with a $300-$400 RTS bow.To get my DW up. I started &45lbs DW. I am @56lbs. I will keep the basin for one of my 13YO daughters if they catch the archery bug. If anyone could let me know the best archery shop in tri-state area in New York where they let you try bows out. Don’t feel like driving to Lancaster.

It's really cool you guys took the time to test out a long standing question. But you're sample size was too small and uneven. 50 shots minimum would be a better sample size
