Whisker Bisket


Young Gun

Recommended Posts

I went to Cabelas and bought a Whisker Bisket and put it on, sighted it in and I am not very accurate. Before I got my Whisker Bisket I had a double prong arrow rest and I was able to put 2 out of 3 shots in a 4 inch circle. Now I can only put 2 out of 3 shots in the vitals from 30 yards. I dont know if somethings wrong with it. Im going to give it one more week and if I dont feel I've improved im going back to my old rest.

I have heard that you get an inconsistent flight pattern past thirty yards, but a lot of people swear by them, so to each thier own, if your looking for a rest that will keep your arrows from falling out, try looking at a rip cord drop away, fifty five dollars and will keep your arrows from falling out when you need it the most. Hope that helps.

I'd double check both the vert and horiz positioning of the rest to make sure everything lines up correctly.

I'd get your bow into a shop and have them fine tune it for ya. I was shooting at the shop last week and a couple of guys had the whisker bisket and swore by em'!

I think once you get it set up right, you will find that it will work for you too.

I went to scheels and was going to buy a wiskerbisket but they told me if i want to shoot real consistant to buy a complete drop away rest, AND I LOVE IT, Best rest i ever bought.

My buddy had the biscuit and was very consistant at 40 yrds. 3-4" groups. That being said he purchased the ripcord drop-away rest and now he's splintering arrows.....

Don't get me wrong, drop away rest are great. I too have a trophy taker DA and love it!

A guy at the range was saying all he does is stalk hunt and for his purposes the whisker biscut is the next best thing since slice bread! He can have his bow in any position and always have that arrow laying nice and straight for any opportunity that might present itself.

The theory is sound................

Oh for sure, if i was a hunter that stalked deer, i would also want a wisker bisket, i don't think there is anything wrong with them, i just love my drop away, simply becuase i hunt out of a stand and i don't have to worry about my rest holding my arrow while i walk around.

I had one of those pieces of #$%^ for a while. All I can say is wait until it is cold out and see how much you like it when it sounds like finger nails on a chalk board when you draw. Junk!

I've hunted plenty of times with both of mine when it was cold out & never had that happen. Do you shoot aluminum or carbon? I've only shot carbon since I got my first bisket.

I love my bisket. To me it's a great no messin around, nothings going to go wrong, accurate, and tough hunting rest. I do have some draw noise with "buff Tuff" arrow finishes but not a plain black carbon shaft. My Beaman ICS hunters are silent even in January. MY CX Terminators "buff tuff" do make some noise although not much.

I'm down to 4 ICS hunters now. grin.gif I should keep to the 5 spot. (groups look so pretty though) I think the rest is very accurate. cool.gif

I have drop zone drop away rest and love it. I just helped my Nephew pick out a bow that was equipped with a whisker bisket and after paper tuning it I can shoot 4 inch groups at 40 yards. Before I would toss it out you should get your bow paper tuned and then try it. I see a lot of benefits with the whisker bisket especially for a novice shooter as my nephew is.

i have a biscuit and i love mine. i stand hunt and ground hunt half and half, so naturally i went with a buscuit. i can get pie plate groups at thiry and i can put four arrows into a clay bird at 20 so accuracy isnt a problem. but as i work to extend my range i bet a drop away would help me splinter my arrows as well.

The biscuits come with several sizes of holes now so a person has to be careful when grabbing the package off the rack. Generally the carbons will shoot very well thru the small hole.

Love my WB. I took a 10 pointer at 37 yards a couple years ago with complete pass through. I'll never hunt with any other rest.

      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.

      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there.

      Those are some fine specimens. Great job

      I'm quite shocked to hear that a walleye tournament is still doing a live weigh in.  Virtually every event these days around here is doing a catch, photo, and release format.   Regardless, nice work.  Congrats.

      On the south end...   A great week of fishing with walleyes and saugers caught in good numbers.   The go-to presentation, again, was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 17 - 21' of water.  Various schools of walleyes and saugers across the south shore.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.   Some big pike and jumbo perch being caught by walleye anglers. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers normally head to the lake.  12 - 15' of water is holding some nice fish.   Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes being caught along with a mixed bag.  12 - 25 feet of water.  Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water were holding good fish this week.    The go-to presentation was a jig and minnow as on the south shore.  A mixed bag as is common around the Angle.

      Nice work!   Here's two words you hardly ever hear anyone say anymore.  "grateful and humbled"

      RLG, thanks for the shout-out!     Jeff and I are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend.  We are humbled and full of gratitude  for having won 'The Classic' for a second time.     We practiced through all the rain on Thurs and the wind on Friday and found six different spots holding big fish.  Fishing was good on both days with several 'overs' in our catch...but would it hold up for another day?   We didn't know.     On tourney day, we made a long run to our first spot where I lucked out on a 26.5"er on my second cast.  Jeff followed up with a thick 27" er a few minutes later, which turned out to be the big fish for the event at 7.26lbs.  We finished out our limit and weighed-in at 10:30 am for the welfare of the fish in our livewell.    There were some big weights in this event which would have won in most other years, but - for whatever reason - this was our day.  Everything just went our way.  Again, we are just super grateful and humbled by this success.  We also want to congratulate all the other anglers who did well and give a big 'thank you' to the tournament organizers who put on such a great event!

      I had a good start to the season on opener. Fishing was slow but consistent. I had four eaters in the box by lunch dragging perch raps. Crappies were biting. I haven't been up since so don't know how things have changed since then, but I'm sure the walleye continue to migrate out into the main basins.

      Let’s start this by congratulating Brianf and son for winning their second City Autoglass Walleye Classic last weekend. These guys know how to fish.  We just got to the lake for the season. Chores are almost done and I’m ready to fish.  red(new dog is more yellow)labguy

      I tried starting a 2024 Lake Vermilion Fishing Report topic but it doesn't show up on this board.   Maybe somebody else knows how to do it?
