Whisker Bisquit Problem or Arrow Problem??

[The_Kat]

I am shooting the new Whisker Bisquit rest with the softer bristles and I just bought a new dozen BeMan ICS Hunter 400 series arrows last night. Shot six of them and 4 out 6 ended up having a tear or rip after 7 or 8 shots. I have contacted BeMan and they are supposed to call me back to see what they can do, but they blamed the rest. I haven't had much problem with it til now. Davenports ( my archery shop ) suggested using armorall on the fletchings to help reduce drag, and even offered to trade out if the problem continued, but blamed the arrows lol. Wonder whats the problem? By the way, Beman/Easton Customer Service is superb!!!

It is a little bit of both.

The W.B. is hard on vanes. Actually, I feel that feathers hold up better to the W.B. The W.B. will wrinkle vanes and eventually tear them. But this is usually after several hundred shots, not 7 or 8. Some vanes hold up better than others. Duravanes are soft and seem to wrinkle pretty bad. There are stiffer vanes out there that seem to hold up well. I have some Bohning Blazer vanes on a few arrows and they are still going strong after 6 months of shooting.

You may need to refletch your arrows with a stiffer vane.

Same thing happened to the Norway Duravanes on my Parker. After just a few shots they wore out. I switched to blazer vanes and have not had one vane even start to warp on me. I did have a problem at first with the blazers coming off but once someone on here told me to put a dab of glue on the front and rear of the vanes I have had no problems since then.

I was afraid it was the vanes on the bemans. Cause the older ones didn't tear. Just the new ones???

Kyle, if you want to try some Blazer Vanes, let me know, I have a bunch I ain't gonna use, even have a fletcher.......

[fisherguy]

sounds like some cheap vanes.

what are they for vanes and what color. they all have there point to where they go bad but shouldnt be that soon. I used to shoot 4 ince aae white out of mine and i could get atleast 50-100 out of the fletching. white is the softes color it takes so much stuff to make them they are just not as strong as the rest

My WB and my vanes are starting to go right now. I'm looking into new arrows and a new WB.

Bohning Vanes are tough and recommended for the biscuit.

Definately the Vanes,,,,,

AAE Elite Plastifletch vanes work great...I haven't had a single problem with them.......Duravanes on the other hand....I WON'T GO THERE....

[The_Kat]

Gator, I'd take those vanes off your hands if you don't need em.

[clayton819]

i shot aae out of mine they worked great. with old and new rest. now i have a dop away. im also looking at blazer vanes

[hutchies]

Fletch 3 of each and test them out. I really like the Blazers. Only problem I am having i how tall they are.

[Scrape Maker]

It the rest man.Throw than thing away and get a drop away.I did.

[AdvantageTimberLou]

I can't believe its the rest, thousands of others are using the Whisker Bisquit and they can't be wanting to throw theirs away!!

Once he fixes the vane issue, I am sure he will love the bisquit and this is coming from a guy who does not own a Whisker Bisquit!
